Default 2005 Mustang GT new wheels

Ditched my 20" CS69 for 18" Saleens...liking the extra sidewall!

That looks great. Every once in awhile I see cars like yours and realize 18's can look great on the Mustang. I've been toying with the idea of 19's on mine in order to still have some decent sidewall for driving. I did the 35 profile sidewall for way too long with another car and it sucked.

Looks great. I just got chrome saleens on my car. What a difference they make.

I saved around 10lbs were wheel by switching from the 20" Shelbys to these Saleens. I was looking hard at the 19" drifts from LMR but for the cost I saved with going to the Saleens I purchased a nitrous kit.

18" gt500 take offs on my 07 and never regreted it. I think 20's are too big...just my preference.

Those are the perfect choice for your car. They play perfectly off the black hood!

Looks great. What size wheels/tires are those? What springs are you on.

I'm on my phone (sigs don't show)
