Pic of stang rims on FC opinions?
 
http://home.mchsi.com/~be.safley/i/rims.jpg

Thinking about picking up a set of them to put on my FC. The look of them on this one is fairly badass.. What do you people think?

Sesshoumaru 05-02-03 04:08 PM

i dont like mustangs, but their rims fit fc's well :)

the 99+ gt rims look ugly, i believe those are PRE 99

CrackHeadMel 05-02-03 04:11 PM

i think that looks pretty sick. anyone know much a set of them would cost?

You can find them for $200/set w/o tires or around $400 with new tires.. Just depends where you look I guess..

Cwaters 05-02-03 04:13 PM

Those look really nice. As long as you don't have the Mustang caps. I wonder if you can get some generic caps for them. I'm not sure you need them though.

Nope, those are the 99 +. They just have the mustang center caps removed, but it looks pretty badass like that..

Man 200 a set, that sounds right up my alley

Wow, those rims on our cars look better without the center caps than they do on mustangs period. :p:

LOL, although not hard to do.

I agree -- man that seems like a very good price too. I was watching Ebay for quite awhile on Mustang rims and there used to be a set that looked really good up there quite often. Bottom line, Mustangs are a dime-a-dozen, and hence so are their wheels.

two thumbs up!:bigthumb: :bigthumb:

anybody got a weight or offset of those wheels yet???

HKSTurboII 05-02-03 04:55 PM

Those are nice, but I like the Cobra R wheels better! I'd love to get my hands on a set of them! ;)

Trav 05-02-03 04:58 PM

I'm kind of partial to these myself...
if I could figure out what to do w/ the centercap.

+26mm offset for these, but can't find a weight.

chris-reedtn 05-02-03 05:02 PM

So they just bolt right on, correct offsets and everything?

-Chris

darkwaveboi 05-02-03 05:02 PM

26mm offset

HKSTurboII 05-02-03 05:04 PM

Those are the knock off's of the cobra R's. The cobra R's are slightly different. The face of the rim isn't flat like that, they have a slight contour. FYI. ;) But they are nice none the less.

Icemark 05-02-03 05:04 PM

As I suspected...

so 14mm off, doesn't munch the handling???

yeah, and if I was a mustang boy I'd prolly care :)
This style is all over Ebay, afswheels make them I believe.

These are the ones I'm talking about. I like the contour better, especially since I'm accually considering buying a set. :)

Trav 05-02-03 05:18 PM

yep, I like those too except for the chrome version... Not sure which I like better, both are great imo.

Of course, I think these have to be my favorite.

Black13B 05-02-03 05:20 PM

wow those look really nice!

HKSTurboII 05-02-03 05:22 PM

I might be going for the chrome.......... I'm painting my car Gunmetal soon, and I think it will be a nice contrast! :)
