Asking for opinions!
 
My tires are bald and my rims are ugly as hell, so it's time for an upgrade! I would like some opinions as well as suggestions on what to get. So far, I've narrowed it down to:

Black Chrome, hypercoated, or just anthracite FR500s...OR...chrome Saleens.

Tire advice would be appreciated as well, but I'm really just looking for something to use for daily driving. Oh, and if I go with FRs, they'll be deep dish.

Looking to get them in a week or two!

i really like the FR500 even if they might be on alot of mustangs i dont think they get old or anything i still love em

whitestang04 08-31-2009 08:28 PM

My vote goes to black chrome FR 500's. I would get them with Nitto 555's, I have them and love them.

I'm not a fan of the FR's. I like these:

for tires i'd go with the goodyear eagle gt's if you got the money, they are a great all around tire, they grip great, they have good wet traction, they aren't too noisey, they have decent tread life. another decent tire if you dont want to go as aggressive as the eagles then i'd go the the bfgoodrich super sport a/s (last a bit longer, quiet ride, comfortable, etc), and if you wanna go a bit more aggressive go with the bfg kdw's but they are loud and wont last super long, but grip the road amazingly well.

I wish I could go all out on tires, but as of right now I need decent cheap ones like summis...i think.

I like the idea of black chrome rims though...

I love AM, but call Mike @ Cruzin Concepts Wholesale. He'll hook you up with Nitto's + the wheels you want at a good price, you've just gotta work him over a little.

I think your car would look really good with solid Black or Chrome Saleens.

I'll look them up. But do you really think I need nittos? I mean, the car is for daily driving.

And I agree, I'm really liking the chrome saleens. Its a nice, clean look.

stanger00 09-09-2009 11:35 PM

nitto makes a few different tires and not all of them are 200 treadware or less...i think the regular 555 are 280 or 300.

if you want a tire that will last for a good while get 300 treadware or higher!...they will suck ass for grip but will last forever.


FR500's FTW

I'm not saying Nitto DR's.. NT555's. Best tire I've ever had and I've had Sumi's, Yokahama's, Toyos, Goodyears, etc.

If your worried about a daily driver and longevity is an issue, id go for a black saleen wheel. OR polished like mine if you prefer that. Personally i'd rather have a black wheel, i wish i could find someone to trade or something, but ah well. Saleens are my fav, but when it comes to looks black chrome fr500's are the best for new edge hands down. About tires, so far ive never really noticed any differences in them, but notably, cooper zeons suck, they caused me to wreck my first time, my sumi HTRz's I had control of the front end the entire time, but the back was just goin everywhere. So stick with a tire you find on AM, but order elsewhere if cheaper.

So I would've had my rims tires already but other problems came out that I wasn't planning on.
My car has been acting funny recently. I was driving to school the other day and my gauges turned off (the needles fell), the ac stopped, my radio turned off also, and my windows wouldn't roll down--all while I was driving.
So, I took it to a shop and was told that I need to leave it there for a day or two so that they can check out the electrical system completely. I haven't dropped it off yet but I know that'll be a pretty penny. Then, I have to go buy a radiator cause that went bad too. Ughhh Atleast I'll be done paying my car in december.
