Default Ordered my TSW wheels

Shopping for wheels for a mustang must be like a woman shopping for one set of shoes.............so so many choices and how do you pick just one? Its hard. I looked at hundreds of wheels on dozens of sites. is how I felt.

I wanted something 18x9 18x10, black with a polished lip (no chrome), black bullits or some variation. After choosing a set from cruzin concepts I then found out it was $650 to ship to Maui. AM wanted $462. Basically a replica rim tire combo that you all pay $1100 to $1500 is gonna cost me about $2k

Frustrated I decided to talk with my local custom shop guy and he to my surprise was able to get me a more name brand wheel installed for the same price as the replica ones online.

TSW Jarama is the one I chose. http://www.wheelsnext.com/images/whe...ma_gbk_2_W.jpg

Rims are a little smaller but they still will hold the tires I want Nitto NT555 255/45/18 and 285/40/18

I am really excited and they should be here Monday or Tuesday. I even have a guy wanting to buy my 17' stockers to help offset some of the cost...........you gotta love craigslist!!

Nice choice on the wheels. Can you post up pics when you get them installed?
