Niice! Fills the wells real nice.

****, in two years 22" rims will be standard. I think wheel sizes are getting rediculous.

Jeremy 10-11-2004 10:37 AM

Anything above 18" should not be on a Mustang IMO.

Not to thrilled about the pattern too fancy "bling bling". This is a sports car not luxuary SUV. I agree with Jeremy too big. I like the deep dish look though.

madmatt 10-11-2004 11:21 AM

At least it finally has some decent looking wheels on it, but I agree, the 18's are about max.

I'm not a fan of the Wheels that come on the 2005 GTs at all...

Those look nice, maybe a bit too big.

Is that a photochop? Looks like it would ride pretty hard. Let me clarify, looks good for show, but not for much else. Up here in Minnesota, I am curious to see what all these SUVs with their dub+'s will do in the snow season. :rolleyes:

Me either, they all look like crapola to me. Oh and just noticed, it does appear to be a photoshop, look at the grill, no foglights, someone blacked them out so they may have ps'd the wheels on as well.

I don't think its photoshopped....but I agree with all of you that on the 99-04 stangs...this would be too much...but on the 05, it doesn't look that bad....but then again, anything would look better than what they are coming out with!!! The V6 wheels are 10X better than the GT wheels!!!

I have a good friend with on on order. I have seen the book. There is a great upgrade for the GT. They are chrome bullets with spinners. They look awesome.

How long until he gets it? Around here Dealers are putting a huge mark-up on these cars (thousands of dollars) over sticker to be the first to get one...hopefully your friend found an honest dealer not trying to gouge the enthusiast....

I have heard of dealers putting really high markups on them. I wonder how many people will actually pay a couple grand over MSRP to get one first. I'm sure some salesmen will get some fat wallets when they come out.

WaterDR 10-12-2004 04:47 PM

Full sticker! Nothing over.

Our Wheel Supplier just called today to say one of the new wheels he is making for the 05 will be a 20 inch model.

I suppose the market for the newer cars is going to lean for 19s/20s (maybe more?)

I think you're right about the trend to go bigger on the 05. From what I've seen at the auto shows and such, the 05 wheel wells look bigger.

bshiek 10-15-2004 01:39 PM

Also, according to Ford's site there are 2 at dealerships near me! I can't wait to see them on the road. However, I won't be giving up my '02 any time soon.

venom 10-15-2004 02:53 PM

I wonder if this will bring down the prices on the smaller 17 and 18 inch wheels.

04SVTDRIVER 11-21-2004 10:13 PM

19+ rims are good for show only but 18's are the biggest I would ever go otherwise it's to much unsprung weight
