Default You guys like these wheels?

Got a great deal from Cruizin Concepts Wholesale on the wheels. 18" Magnum500 with 255/45/18 Kuhmo Ecsta ACX tires. Going to lower with the FRPP springs, maybe do the CDC shaker hood and matte black stripes down the hood and tail. I really like the tribute look to the late 60's/early 70's cars.

I like the wheels, they look good on your car. You will like the CDC shaker scoop, I have one on my car and it is my favorite add on.

Tire Prices. My wife wasn't real happy with me for buying new wheels and tires I didn't need. 20's would get me in divorce court.

Thanks Michelle, and 05.

I really like them too. I think the the black CDC shaker will top it off nicely.

Agree with ya on the color thing 05, Redfire is really nice. Pics don't do this color justice, for whatever reason.

Looks great!
The Magnums were my last mod, I think they look great as well.
The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the center caps. I've since changed mine out to the Tri-Bar Pony center caps. No pics of the new caps yet, as it's been miserable here since winter set in.
I've got the 18x9 fronts & 18x10 rear w/Nitto 555's.

Thanks aircare84, your car was one of a few I found pics of that convinced me to buy the Magnums. Looks great! I feel the exact same way you do about the center caps, they are just so plain. Any chance you have pics of the ones you bought? And where did you find them?

Thanks!

I just got a set of Magnum 500 (20 inch) wheels. I got 8.5 inches wide, for the front and 10 inch, for the rear. I got Toyo Proxes 4 tires, to go with them.

My tire sizes are: 255/35ZR20 on front and 295/30/ZR20, for the rear.

I can't wait till spring time, so I can see em on my Stang!

If you're looking for a deal, check out wheelreplicas.com
Magnum 500 are also known as style 469 on that site!
