wheel opinion...

i have a set of these lying around from my old mustang, i was thinking of getting some spacer/adapters made so i can use them on my fb with some fender flares,anyway they are 245 wide and a 17" wheel with 45 series rubber, this is my ghetto mock up
i would be polishing the lip on em and painting the middle spokes black

lemme know what u think

thats not my car btw just a good side shot fb i found to get the point across

i have to agree as well. Maybe its my predisposition to hating mustangs of that generation. it might look better with black spokes and the polished lip, but im not a big fan of that shape.

Wow 18's!, They look great on the Black FB. Is that a daily driver for your "mate", or is it more a show/fair weather car? I've heard that 17 and 18's have a harsh ride, but I love the way they look on the FB's.
