Don't worry about my name, its a user name. My nick name is gotti and dc is for dc shoes cuz my black *** likes to skateboard. Don't come at me with that talking black crap ever again; u don't see me coming on here talking like"dude your car is tottaly awesome" nor do I cut my hair and shift my bangs to the side like I'm some lil white boy on the Disney channel.

And no I'm not from jersey, I'm from saint louis.
RACE WAR!!! RACE WAR EVERYONE!!!! ITS ON!!! WHITES VS BLACKS!!!

Pcola...you chopped it too low in the front. the wheel arch doesnt match the tire radius evenly.

rear looks nice though.

The tires towards the back are on the stock 15x7" wheels, the ones closer to the front are 17x10.5" and 17x9" Those 7.7"s are going to look really skinny on your car, if you look at it from the back, it'll be like having little sticks for tires.

but the tire that Im getting looks axactly like the 17x9 tire u have there. The tire that they are 245/45/17, the width on the is 9" when I taped it. They said up there that thouse fit correctly on it. They don't lookas skinny as the ones u have up front of the big rims. I'm starting to think that that one display is smaller than the ones they are actually putting on my car.

I dunno how many people said this but a 275/40/17 tire fits a 9" rim. If they are giving you a 9 inch rim and telling you that a 245 is the best fit then they are retarded.

they look cool on there, but i have now come to the conclusion, that 17" rims are a lil to small for what i like, so what i have decided to do is, go ahead and get 18x8.5 rims instead.
its either going to be these here,

Dude, just go to AmericanMuscle.com and pick out a set of wheels and tires that are FOR mustangs. Those tires are crap as well. Just save yourself some time and listen to us again.

its not the size of the rim thats making it look like crap its the width you keep picking.

A rim for a Mustang should at least be 9 either 17x9 or 18x9

alright. Stick with that all black one if it is a wide enough wheel.
definitely scrap those red inserts, there is no way they will match the color of your car (let alone look good on a mustang )

But still... Consider AmericanMuscle wheels!

i'm sooooo NOT digging them.you want people to look at your car,not just at your wheels...but its your money and if you really,really like them then go ahead and purchase the ones you like, if i was you i'll take into consideration to what everyone here is telling you, they know how a stang SHOULD look, and i'm sure thats why you want rims, to make your stang look good to you and OTHER people.those rims are NOT meant for our cars, plain and simple
