neither. check out the rims at americanmuscle.com there your best bet.

Codiddy 04-15-2008 12:20 PM

all those rims are kinda ugly.

SeanStang 04-15-2008 12:38 PM

The first rim would look sweet if it wasn't for the chrome "V"s... and I personally dont like anything unless its a 5 point rim so the second one i don't like either. And the third rim just looks cheap and tacky with the red "V"s. I honestly don't think any of those would look good on a mustang... If you like them though thats all that maters!! Just my :2cents:.

thug wheels FTL!!!!

zigzagg321 04-15-2008 02:56 PM

all three are horrid. the first a tad less than the second or third. Just get some damn wheels made for a Mustang and be done with it. 17x9 up front, 17x10.5 out back, then get some H&R SS springs and you will have a great looking ride.

275/40/17 front and 315/35/17 out back.

and do you see the million lug holes per rim? none of those are made for your car, they are all made for honda's and shit like that.

i wouldnt be all that surprised man, I thought that too. Im sure he means the "thugged out rapper wanna be" dudes you see hanging on the corner in the middle of the day, wondering why they dont have jobs etc. The dudes with pants around their ankles and more jewlery than my grandmother's entire stash. The dudes that do their best to look and act aggressive 24/7. The dudes that spend more on a set of rims than their car is worth, bumping horrible bass in the middle of the night waking up the neighborhood. those types, they can be white or black or other.

I lived in metro Atlanta for 5 years. I have a very good understanding of the term "thug" I wouldnt take offense to the term, cause I doubt he means any offense by it.

'02SilverBullet 04-15-2008 03:24 PM

OK dude I will say this..... You may find the opinions here a bit biased. Most peeps here are MUSTANG guys. The guys that post here arnt ummm... like the "fast and the furious" type. Most here beleive in GO before SHOW. These are the reasons you are getting such harsh replies.

If you are trying to do your car in the "fast and the furious" thing more power to you. It is your car and you can pimp that ride however you want and put neon lights on it till it blinds folks. The guys here really dont beleive in that kind of stuff. We see the mustang as American muscle... and we mod our cars in that fashion. To us... to see someone with a mustang with gaudy rims a big wing and neon lights is like an insult to the mustang heritage.

Like I said before do what ya like to your car. If you want to do the wing and neon and all that other stuff or somewhere near that kind of look then this really isnt the place to ask advice. You are more than welcome to do so. Just know why you get the replies that you do before hand.

Ok im done GL with your build..... and umm I dont like any of those rims either!

Lances03SVT 04-15-2008 03:25 PM

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!

Please don't put those on a Mustang!!!

Im not saying that i dress like that. but come on there is no need of using comments like that atall, whats so ever. You guys here, fet mad when people put 20inch rimson a car, come one just leave it alone, no one cares whos a thug, or what not. If some of you people would just go out and enjoy life and stop being computer geeks, then you guys would appreciate other things and not go buy these"mustang code" that u guys got going on here.
enjoy your cars, and enjoy your life, get out more, get some girls on your teaM, and stop being so damn stuck up. You guys act like lil white boys on the disney channel

also note, these rims here, have kits on them so i can take off the V's on there and just have the clean black rim look, or i can switch it to the red look, ya diig

act like lil white boys on the disney channel?!? racist much, if you dont like what we have to say then dont do it but dont come out with attacking peoples race uncool.

Lazerred6 04-15-2008 03:47 PM

We aren't all computer nerds... thats kind of a broad generalization

It's going to look hillarious when one of the V's falls off or some one takes one just to f with you:D

I honestly think this forum isn't for you man. 99% of the ppl on here are not going to support or have anything nice to say about parts on a Mustang that just arent meant for it. plain and simple.

side note: if the word "thug" offends you, you must only be able to see one side of it. It does not necessarily mean black people, so there was no need for you to pull the race card and call most of the ppl on here "'lil white boys."

The fact is that thugs do exist and have for hundreds of years or more, in today's society it just so happens that the term thug usually is used when describing a young black male who acts a certain way and dresses a certain way. It just is what it is man. If you are not a thug, then more power to ya. But the look you seem to be going for with your car could easily be described as the "thug" look. take it or leave it, but there is no need to insult the member base here and whip out the race card. And if you were gonna say using the word thug is racist...using the word "thug" is NOT pulling the race card, it means different things to different people, but there is a common opinion about what it means.

and dude...if we are all computer geeks, then why are you here asking for car advice?

man, do you have anything to say in response to what I wrote? do you understand where im coming from with what I said? Just trying to figure out what you are thinking going off on basically the entire board.

SeanStang 04-15-2008 04:35 PM

Hey Gotti, would you plan on keeping the V's on the rims? If not then you might wanna consider these rims, so you wont have the open holes from where the V's screw in. There called American Racing Rebels. Look similar to the ones you posted but without the V things, and they are also available in 18's.

Its mighty funny the race card got pulled when someone posted the drag car with the green flames and money signs. The guy was stereotyped as a thug and someone mentioned that the guy had to be black. It doesnt bother me that people still try to insult each other with subtle racial comments but i am not going to get disrespected because everyone knows i am black but i might have different opinions coming from a(i guess because i am black).... thug.

When it comes down to it. This is a mustang forum and members to stick to the original looks of mustangs and anything unique is shunned upon. To tell the truth, i dont really care for those rims, but if you like them dont ask everyone elses opinion. Just get them.

zigzagg321 04-15-2008 05:12 PM

man, I dont think the word "thug" is pulling the race card. do you think it is?

GottiDC 04-15-2008 05:14 PM
