Exclamation WHAT WHEELS SHOULD I GET!?

Ok its pretty much time for new tires. My buddy has an 89 fox and it had the stock wheels on it. Then he switched out to chrome cobra r replicas and I saw how the chrome wheels made the car look like a whole different car! I have the anthracite 17x9s on my 95 GT right now but I'm scouring everywhere looking for some chrome 18s.

Im thinking about chrome bullitts(deepdish or regs), saleens, roush and cobra Rs.

Wanting some opinions on what I should get and what would fit. I found a guy about 20min ago selling roush 18s with 7K miles on them and he is 50 min from me so that would be awesome so I'm awaiting a response from him. (They are shown below)

Please answer the poll and post your opinions here, along with a pic of the wheels on your 94-98 mustang so I can see what it looks like.

Here is a pic of my car and the wheels im looking at.

Get the 18x9, 18x10 Chrome Saleens and your car will be the ****.


If the Roush wheels are a good enough deal, go with them. They are sick too.

i agree for the most part i just want some outside opinions too. those roushs are off an 07 roush stang. this may be a stupid question but they will work fine on my 95 correct?

You'd need some spacers if you were to get the Roush wheels, they'll be sunken far in without them. Depends on the price of the Roush wheels, but for now my vote goes for Saleens.

ya i guess it depends on the price. still waiting for his response. i looked up spacers on AM and they are $99 for 2 billit ones...im sure i can find them cheaper somewhere right? assuming 1 inch spacers is good enough

I got 1 inch on my 17x8s and they make my tires look like 9s or 10s. I wouldnt go with 2, maybe a 1.5.

as i expected the prices are high. they most likely charge a crazy amount to pull a part for you, even tho it may only be a matter of 15-30min
