GottiDC I hope you can see that people are trying to help you make a wise decision. The majority of the rims that you posted are normally found on imports and a mustang is about as far as an import as possible. We helped you once said thanks then we keep trying to get you to understand your not driving a Honda Civic and then you tell us none of us have a life... were here to help people with cars and yes we all have a life why don't you read up on the member professions thread. Since we clearly are to stupid to help you I guess google Import forums and you will find answers that you prefer
then you will be talking to people that think this looks good:

No clue lol, id assume the usual 7 days but im not totally sure... you may wanna call them and see, and also see if they can send the rims with Mustang Center caps instead of the ones they show in the pics...save you time in the end.

ok now I have another question. Now am says that they can mont and balance your tires for free, so does that mean that I when I get the wheels put on to my tires that I don't have to have them balanced by the people who will put my wheels on?
Or when they put my wheels and tires on do do they have to palnce them again?

I don't totally get your question... but ill answer for what I think you mean. Tires don't come balanced. You have to have your tires/rims balanced once they are mounted. A local wheel shop will be doing that for you since youll be purchasing both your rims and tires from seperate places online. Correct?
correct,i just needed to confirm that, because on am.com they said that they can mont and balance your tires for free, i just thought if they did that i wouldnt need to get them balanced with the rim on, but that wouldnt even make any scence since im not getting the rims from them. lol
any way Sean are these the same center caps that you have on yours

Yeah those are the ones i have. When i got the set of Cobra R rims they came with the Cobra center caps. But i have a set of Bullit rims that i used to have on the car that had the pony center caps in them. I just switched them out. I knocked them out from the back so I wouldn't damaged the paint on the surface trying to pry them out. I just got a piece of wood and a rubber hamer and gently tapped them out.

I dont know what kind of rims your running now but something you need to consider is getting you some "acorn" style lug nuts to go with the rims you picked. AM has some black ones that would do just the job. It would just look plain dumb to get nice shiny black rims and have a basic steel lug nut to put em on.

Yeah get the lockers also. all it is is a lug nut with a fancy head on it were ya got to have the "key" to get that one lug nut off. Go ahead and get both of those that you posted. Put one "lock" on each wheel. Then you will have 4 exta lug nuts for spares. It has been known to happen a few times for guys to lose lug nuts shortly after getting new rims. So the spares will help ya there.
