Pic of stang rims on FC opinions?



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?

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

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..

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

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!

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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