18" GTR replica wheels, thoughts?
 

I have an oppurtunity to snag some 18" Mustang GTR concept wheels for $200. These are new and never used. I really wanted 17x9 and 17x10.5 but the cost difference is vast..

The wheels are not my favorite style but they are crazy cheap, and my neighbor picked up a set for his cobra vert and he uses them as drag rims. They look a lot better without the caps.. I would paint them black in the centers... What do you guys think?

They loook good. Why the hell not?

That's what I was thinking. I found them for $50 each.. Crazy cheap.

Do eettttttt!!!

LOL holy crap... Just ordered them, they gave me an additional $50 coupon for ordering online... $150.12 shipped for a set of 4...LOL wow...

good deal man.. mustang wheels so they should be good sizing for rwd

edit: offset may be high

gad damn thats cheap

I think with a slight pull on the fenders and running 40 series tires I will be golden. I have the eastwood roller, so rolling shouldn't be a problem. I have put 24mm offset 18" wheels on before with 245 tires and they only rubbed the fenderliner on strong left turns.. If I go smaller tires I should be good.

I just noticed the offsets on the ones you posted hyper.. Those are for 05-10 stangs. For the proper offset (24 and 26MM) you have to search under 99-04. Also they sold out of 10.5inch wide so I am sitting 9's all around.. No biggie...

The chromes on a mustang dont look too good, and thats 18x9 and 18x10

hopefully its the chrome that makes em look crappy lol

Yeah my next door neighbor has them on his cobra.. He painted the centers black and they look better. For $150 I can't go wrong, I am going to paint them black in the centers and remove the caps. I will test fit his for pictures when I get a chance..

Also the lips measure the same on the 10.5's and 9's so...

Hell, even if you end up not liking them, I'm sure you could re-sell them for way more than that.

This is his car, like I said I will paint them black like this and then remove the caps...

you should do it they look really good painted black

Doing, did, done! I may buy 2 sets, that is just so cheap..... My first set is on the way to my local store, they should be there on Friday.!

Saw this a few years ago... just remembered these are the same wheels (back ones)

It looks good in my opinion.

I bought a set as well. Can't pass up that deal.

im ordering now but i cant find the offset specs.

You must search for 99-2004 mustang wheels. If you buy the ones that Hyper posted you will need spacers. the ones I bought are 24mm offset.

They have a set of 20's for $150 too..lol

i jsut talked to the guy at discount. they are a +50 offset.. so plan on running spacers with these wheels

edit** i should read closer.. the 10.5 are +50

link to the 24mm offset ones.

Wondering if the 35mm ones wouldnt have been a better choice... waiting on a response from the wheels gurus... I know the 24mm ones will fit but probably require fender rolling.
