this may mean 17's or it may mean 20's and sometimes maybe 22's.....and while that may seem "gangsta" to you, the fact is that to the owner it looks good.

while your taste may be the norm, and you may be able to find 100 guys all driving on 18 cobra's to back you up....in the end its still just your opinion, no matter how many post you have or your status on this website...

Be that it may, your car will still look ugly, be slower, cost more to replace tires, and gas mileage will be worse. So I really see no benefit in it. Even if they had 20" cobras, it would still look like ass. But do what you want, but next time don't come into a mustang forum and ask people their opinions. Obviously everyone gave you their opinion and it was all the same. 20s are no good on a 94-04 stang.

if your going to talk shit...know what you are talking about. i never asked your opinion, i know what i like....

if i was worried about the cost, i would drive a civic....if i need to go faster i will open the valve on the bottle or change the jets. when i really want to go fast i will ride the bike.

I have had all kinds of people tell me that my car looks awesome. Black people who drive hoopties, fellow Mustang owners, regular ol' Joes, etc. I have never had one person tell me that my car looks bad.

Like I said, I absolutely agree with you on this point. We are not telling you that you cannot do it... we are just giving you our honest opinions.


this may mean 17's or it may mean 20's and sometimes maybe 22's.....and while that may seem "gangsta" to you, the fact is that to the owner it looks good.
Having 20's doesn't necessarily look 'gangsta' to me. The look of the rest of the car could make it fall into this category. If the owner thinks it looks good, fine. But the owner shouldn't cry and get all asshurt when a true Mustang enthusiast or anyone else tells him his car looks like dog shit.


while your taste may be the norm, and you may be able to find 100 guys all driving on 18 cobra's to back you up....in the end its still just your opinion, no matter how many post you have or your status on this website...
My taste the norm? Hahahahaha! That proves you don't know anything about me. For fuck's sake, I am a girl, I love B rated horror movies, I collect skull and skeleton things, I have a morbid fascination with serial killers and I even have a small 3' tall skeleton named 'Skinner' who rides in my backseat. I wear Halloween socks when it isn't Halloween, Christmas socks when it isn't Christmas, and I cuss like nobody's business. So don't try that bullshit-ass excuse about normalcy with me. I am the weirdest person I know and I am damn proud of it.

You can still find 100 guys all driving on 20's everyday, too. I see more of that shit around where I live than I see tastefully modded Mustangs.

I honestly don't believe you want to put 20's on a Mustang to 'stand out' and not be like everyone else. There are things you could do to your car that are tasteful that make it stand out. For instance, spend the money you would spend on those wheels and get a custom paintjob. Get custom seats installed. Get 18" wheels that are anondized whatever color you want that will still look good and not be like anything else on earth. With those 20's, you will be just like everyone else, too.

I don't see you arguing for anything original or even promoting anything that hasn't been done before.

All in all, you like what you like and you have every right to.

They do have 20" Cobras. I had a set on mine (Didn't buy them myself, they were on the car when I bought it). Everyone told me they looked awesome. Everyone thought they were 18s. They really didn't look bad at all. Now granted, there was some scrubbing issues that had to be worked out and of course the obvious cost of replacement. They will also hurt performance some, but if you aren't looking to race or any of that, then what difference does it make.

I have since swapped to some 17 black cobras. Just got tired of the chrome look. I agree with Black Sunshine that it all depends on what is going on with the rest of the car. USUALLY when someone does something like this, they are going full on body kit, chrome everywhere, paint job, etc, all the stuff that draws the extra attention.

The bottom line is, if you like the look of your own car, then it shouldn't matter what others think. Why are you trying to impress people you don't even know?

opinion is not good or bad.....because it does not agree with your opinion.

and my contribution...is that to each thier own, buy what you like. there is not right or wrong, good or bad....just opinion, and the only one that matters is the owners.

That Cobra makes me drool

King 12-17-2008 02:55 PM

I know, me too. That was just a quick google search too "sn95 mustang"...

krenogin 12-17-2008 03:11 PM

Yea, well i know that guy had to be black to like that one. People thought my 20's were 18's but then when i had it parked at college i was far away when i walked twoards it and it did look like a monster truck. Im not even kidding, i couldnt even see the wheels where it was soo shinny. Admit i liked the look but it made my car feel really unstable. i didnt like taking curves sharp or anything. i feel more comfy with my 17s. feels more solid. BUT i have noticed, it is not as good in the rain, with my 20's i could go as fast as i wanted. i didnt feel any hydroplaning.

Lazerred6 12-17-2008 03:33 PM

Some people think that the world is flat but that doesn't make the world being round an opinion it makes the people that don't beleive it silly

King 12-17-2008 03:36 PM

Dammit man, I wanted to make the world is flat vs round comment but I had to leave the computer for a little bit.

well when peopleask for OUR opinions on this site about 20's, they should be prepared to recieve negative comments from others mostly all of of us.. if our opinions dont matter, then really, whats the point of asking others of what "we" think about the subject?

Lets not start a pissing match over wheel size. Everyone has the right to like whatever floats their boat.

cpthowdy 12-17-2008 08:32 PM

this thread has potentail to go as long as gottidc's thread did?lol.
but like spike said, if 20's makes you wet, then do it,just people need to stop asking about what we think on subjects that has a majority of people saying NAY! because as i see, honesty creates havoc
