Hey y'all,

I'm doing the GT500 front end conversion, but am on the fence as to whether or not to get the GT500 rims to match as well. I currently have the stock 17" Machined Aluminum rims on my GT.

What do y'all think? Do you think a mustang would look weird with the GT500 front end but without the GT500 5 spoke rims?

Looks like it'll cost me about $1150 from ebay, and that's the cheapest I can find for rims/tires combo.

Also, if it matters, I will not be badging cobras on my stang, but will have the running pony logos there instead.

Thanks for your input y'all!

all kinds of rims will look good with the gt500 front, just pick whichever ones YOU like the best. the stock 17s will look kinda small and plain with the gt500 body parts though IMO

dont worry about that dude, there are plenty of wheels that will look good and work with a GT500, so no worries dude

I think the stock 17's are to timid for the standard GT front end and would look really off on the GT500 front. I dont think the stock 18's even look aggressive enough for that front end. I would definitely upgrade the rims and at 1k for the GT500 rims and tires, its a pretty good deal. And I wouldnt stress about the whole badging thing either. I think that whole issue died down a while ago. Put whatever you like, or dont. But dont feel like you have to explain your actions to ANYBODY here.
