Big decision so I'll let you all decide. Buyin is a good deal of money so I figured I'd get some opinions from our customers.

Cost = Very expensive.

From 300-500 per wheel, depending on sizes. 17x8, 17x10, 18x9, 18x10.

Plus their way to expensive. If someone likes them it takes a lot of money for them to fork over to get them.

Please no!

Honestly, Ebay has killed the market for any aftermarket wheel...their are people who change wheels like underwear! So if you are looking for something new/different, that is where people are looking...

I was looking at a SET of 17x9 Black Chrome Mach 1 wheels for around $350...

I would say to move away from the wheel market, and more into the graphics/styling market. People are going crazy for stripe kits!

I wouldn't carry them. As people here have already stated, tough to break into the market when competing with eBay. If you do decide to go into the market, look to the future as the 05 needs better looking options.

Performance modifications is where I would continue to go. I think you have a great thing going right now with the free shipping. As long as prices are competitve and customer serivce is there, you guys will do great. So far I'm VERY pleased and looking forward to my next purchase.

The black ones would have been nice if it weren't for the big ghetto spin caps. I say NO

100% agree with the other posts about it being a bad idea. Just way too much market saturation. I think in keeping with the name "Mustang Tuning" you should continue to focus mainly on performance.

Those rims make baby Jesus cry- also it seems as though you pulled the steeda ultra lite 2s!
My friend is looking for some nice rims on his Silver 00' GT, and is still working up the money, lol

Well, majority rules I suppose.

I was 99% sure of buying these, already had the purchase order ready to fax over. I guess I'll save myself the trouble.

Looks like I'm in the minority, but I like them. HOWEVER, no way will I spend $300 to $500 for any wheel. Too many other nice wheels on the market for much, much less dough.

Default Good Choice

I think it was a good choice not to order those rims there ugly to the extreme, you should order in some of the regular cobra r rims and look into the cobra r motorsport and the cobra r y2k motorsport now those rims i think would sell.
