Default Advice 4 A 02 Silver Sixer

Hey all...Im about to get ready and install some new rims on my Mustang. Its a nice satin silver and im looking for a good set of rims that will really set it off and apart from most stangs i see around me. I`m down to 2 choices which are the 18x9 or 18x10 Saleen rims or the Black GT Bullitt Deep Dish Rims with chrome lining...I don`t know which ones I want to put on because they are both really cool. I want to keep the whole silver and black theme for my car so any suggestions would be great.

If your car is dropped the Saleen rims would look good if not get some new springs and rims.

why not the Chrome Bullits? They'd look real nice with your silver, just ask MahnotinkneeGT...

Yea I have the intention of dropping my car a little regardless of the wheels. My are in good conditon, but are beginning to show a little age so Im trying to just put a whole new package on. I`m going to find some pics of mustangs my color with the 2 rims I mentioned above and then make my decision.As far as the style go I can figure out a little easier. Its the sizing thats bothering me a little bit. Do anyone think it would be best if I put say 18x9s in the front and 18x10s in the rear? OR just do 18x9s or 10s all around to make it balanced? This summer Im beginning to start some mods on my car and wheels and tires are second to my first mod which is true dual exhaust. I also have a question about that also. Im going to get true duals put on my car but I want something that will sound mean muffler wise for a V6. I heard flowmaster 40 series are good and I heard a clip of the spintech pro-streets on a 6 gun and it sounded SWEET AS HELL. So Im trying to decide between one of those two. I can use some opinions on that also. THANX a bunch

You kno Grimmz I`ve taken a look at the Chrome Bullitts and I mean they are nice looking,but on my car I just can`t see it. Im trying to be unique and put something different on my car so I can have a stand out personalized V6. The only rims I see that probably no one have on the strip where I live have is the Black Bullitts and the Saleens. Well I saw a person with a silver convertible V6 and had the Saleens on and they look sick. All my ideas Ive written down and looked at are all up in the air,but slowly and gradually Im pulling some down and going with it.

oh, well everyone on this board has the Black bullits and Saleens LoL... there have beena couple threads about them but hey, it's cool...

About your exhaust, I have the Spintech Dual Side exhaust on my car and LOVE IT, it's a lil more expensive but DAMN worth it, if your not guna go spintech i'd say save your money and got MAC,.... SPINTECH, MAC, and Magnaflow are probably the 3 best mufflers for a V6 without Cam's...

Yea thats whats up. I think Im going to with the Black Bullitt Rims. Tell me what do you think of this setup. 18x9 standard in the front and 18x10s Deep Dish in the back? Does that sound pretty cool without messing up my car performance or making it look ugly. Its sounds cool and unique to me and I think it would work if I do it. When I get them on should I get it lowered right away to set off the look a little more of would it be fine not lowered just yet?
