Default which 18" chrome wheels?

Getting wheels very soon for my 05 sonic blue v6 mustang and i gotta make a decision. Im pretty sure im getting my wheels from cruizin concepts. Im looking to get 18" chrome wheels.

this is where my two choices are
http://www.cruizinconcepts.com/musta...repackages.asp

option 1: 18" s style wheels
(4) 5 Star Saleen Style Wheels 18X9
- (4) 245/45ZR18 Nexen N3000 High Performance Tires
- (1) PRE-MOUNTED & BALANCED READY TO BE INSTALLED
$1012.00 But i would probally get different tires. Want at least 275's in rear

option 2: 18" foose nitrous
(2) 18X8.5 Chrome Foose Nitrous Wheels
- (2) 18X10 Chrome Foose Nitrous Wheels
- (2) 255/45ZR/18 NITTO NT555 ULTRA PERFORMANCE TIRES
- (2) 275/40ZR/18 NITTO NT555 ULTRA PERFORNANCE TIRES
- (1) PRE-MOUNTED & BALANCED READY TO INSTALL...
$1620.00 these tires seem good right?

These are my two choices and idk which ones to choose. If i get the s style wheels what tires should i get(like size)

Also lets say i get the option two tires, would i have to get my speedometer and odometer changed? and how could i do that.( cheapest way, dont have money for a tuner) thanks.

soo which ones????????????

I would go with option two. As for changing the speedometer and odometer, those tire sizes retain the same dimensions as the OEM setup. You will not have to change a thing. the rotations per mile will be the same (or extreamly similar).

Agree..like #2 alot. Can I ask...do you intend to drive this in the Winter in Jersey..with snow salt? if so do you have snow tires and rims to put on? Otherwise you might get these pitted IF you can drive it in the snow with those tires.

You considered going with the 99-04 Saleen style for the offset? I think they look much better.

I really like Option #2, but it might depend on what other mods you have planned for your car's exterior. With no other mods, I vote #2.
