Wheel suggestions (for my car)
 
Most people know my car and how it looks and stuff, and I'm looking for any possible suggestions.

My fiancee curbed my right rear torq thrust in Boston a few weeks ago, and on our trip up to the White Mountains a pothole pretty much ate the wheel too. Drives fine, no leaks, etc. but I now realize i should consider taller tires all around for protection. On top of that, I'm not entirely sure how I feel about my wheels in general. I was hoping maybe people might be able to give me suggestions for a kickin' 20" wheel for my Mustang that's like under $275/wheel. Plus part of my motivation is that they fit like *** in the back. a little bit too much offset (by like only 5mm) to fit within and not rub. I have some rubbing on the right rear cuz i'm slammed and running 295's.

This will be of absolutely no help but I love the rims you have. I considered the exact same ones myself. I hope you find something else you like.

I would go with Chrome rims if I had a Grabber Blue mustang... can't see putting chrome rims on my black mustang much to my fiancée's avail. But on blue I think they look amazing... I really like these rims and would love to have them if mine was blue they are slightly more than what you want to spend but might be able to look around and find a deal on them... there really close to what you have just a little more bling though.

Personally I would recommend going with 19's and a 275/40/19 on all 4 with the right wheels. You will still fill the wheel well and have better traction and performance. At the price point you mentioned you will be looking at something from american muscle or cruzin concepts most likely.

I would step up a bit and consider some better wheels like Forgestar, TSW, Ace Alloys at the $400 price range.

I have to agree with Rich. I like the ones you have :)

that was a consideration too... I also thought about the Boss 302 LS wheels and some good summer only rubber, then the 20's for the "questionable" weather months, since they have all seasons.

There's always stepping up to taller tires too.. I like the Toyo Proxes 4Plus I have now because they aren't stupidly expensive.. like 190/tire

gross. no crosslace/spoke type wheels. 5 spokes, 10 spokes, but no crosslaces. so overdone.

bones302 8/27/13 08:16 AM

If it was my car, I'd put on a set of Roush wheels. But you don't like spokes, so...

I would suggest you take a minute and log onto Tire Rack. Plug in your car, and color, and pick the wheels you like. You can see them mounted on the car. This will also give you the opportunity to look at the higher profile tires. I have done this several times and been happy with the results. It will also price the wheel and tire package for you. Hope this is helpful.

I think the Saleen Extreme wheels look insane, but I don't know that anyone sells them:

Honestly I love those wheels on your car, but the Boss 302 LS ones would look great also.
I've seen them as low as 1120 for the kit. 4 wheels, TPMS and calibration tool.

Diode Dynamics 8/27/13 01:08 PM

I'd say go with Forgestars if you can swing them? I've always liked those

Boss LS in gunmetal would look great. That's what i'm considering currently

only downside w/ boss wheels is that I'll need to get tires (again) decisions, decisions.... This is what I get for not modding for a while.

I just can't bring myself to pay like 4 car payments worth of money just on wheels.

I'm amazed some of you folks can though.
