you no what i can understand that you guys, are stuck on your pride about, just ordering things from am, but sometimes not every one likes the things u like. thouse black and chrome things, are the best rims i have ever seen in a size 18, to me, and notice i said to me these rims crush and demolish any 18" rim(notice i said 18") anyone has on this forum. so please dont try to hide behind your pride, because everyone on here wants every one to act the same, because we all love teh american muscle, and spread out, and when u really feeling something just say it, sdont hide it because of what er body eles will think.

I can not see how any one could net be feeling thouse black and chrome thangs there. whoooowww ya crazy in here. then again this is the mustang forums so everyone one wants what they think is made for it.

I still think you should get a 18x9 rim with 275/35/18 tires. Your still going to have goofy looking gaps between the tires and the panels like the other rims you tried on. If your going to do it may as well as do it the right way and fill in the wheel well

Just see if they come in 18x9. the largest tire that you can put on an 18x8 is far too skinny for a mustang. Reason is, is that a mustangs fenders bulge out far, and if the wheel/tire isnt wide enough to fill the fender, it looks strange and outta place.

the thing about the 17s, is that they where just to small for my likeing, i didnt mind the gap between the fender and what not, it was just that the wheel looked to small for my licking on a 17, the tire was still wide though, because the tires where 245/45/17, it was just the wheel being smaller than i thought that made me secound guess it.

245's are no where close to wide enough man. not even close. thats what they are stock. 245's look like toothpicks.

yeah. skinny wheels dont compliment the body shape of a mustang. I know that eventually you can find some 18x9's that you like. you will like it better, that I promise.

no real difference from a straight on side view, but why compromise? get some wheels that look good from the straight on side view, and also look good from the back and 1/4 side view because they are wide. only pics i have are of my car, and i have 17x9's front and 17x10.5 rear.

Welp boys.... it looks like we got us another "ricer" mustang being built! Dont sweat it too bad though. We tried to stop him... we tried to advise him... we tried to lead him down the glory road. LOL But he has got a bit too much Paul Walker or Vin Deisel one up the butt! LMAO! We will still give him and his boy friand a lil wave as we leave his house from picking up his sister. Try not to pick on him too bad boys... he's just young. He will soon learn to do ricer fly byes after he picks a fight he cant win. Also soon after thos fugly rims will come some stickers from AZ that add 5hp each. Then there will be the ricer exhaust.... well a Foldgers coffee can made into an exhaust anyway.

In closing I want to say dont hang your head and think there goes another riced Mustang.... Just remember that everytime we see him we can laugh our asses off!

The ones SeanStang showed you are AWESOME! Maybe they have other rims you like from the same place he got his. even better, they are made specifically for the mustang bolt pattern.

Dude those rims aren't half as bad as the ones he posted earlier. At least they are 5 spoke so why don't we all just lay off the guy?

Lay off silverbullet. He is taking the advice we are offering him and you still want to bring him down? I dont see why we have to bring him down like this. It was all fun and games in the beginning... but now he is gettin serious and taking our advice. lets work with him.

oh great and this is coming from a guy wit a "yellow" mustang where the back of his car bumper looks to be tilting downward on one side. the same guy who tries to make his v6 mustang look like a gt, when its really not. yea i guess rice stang for the ftmfl, what the hell does that stuff even mean, gosh you would think people in a mustang forum would just talk stangs and leave the geek talk out of it.

failed, go try and get a diffrent paint job for your car, and fix the tilt on your car, and i will worry about my own rims, ya diig?

not bad as long as that chrome **** stays off. With the chrome its ricer, but w/out the chrome its ok. just my opinion.

and yeah silverbullet, man you took it way too far this time. those rims without the chrome **** are far from rice.

Those rims are from ricer with or without the plates... just cause there not in any form "Mustang" rims, doesn't mean its ricer...

I like them better with the plates off, but if you like them better with them on then obviously leave them on cause there on your car payed with YOUR money and thats what really matters.


And guys why are you so ******* to quick to bitch him out every time he shows you pics

bahaha, trying to make it look like a GT? not what im going for, im trying to make it look "good" not like a ricer in your case. i dont think a mustang is not for you, i think you should go buy a some riced out pos instead of making a mustang look bad.
