Default Help Me!!

I don't know if I'm posting this in the right place but I'm kinda new to this. I have a 2006 Mustang GT that is torch red. I am looking to buy some wheels for it. They came with 17"s but I am wanting 18"s. Does anyone know some rims that would look good on it? Thanks

You propose a very loaded question....What wheel looks good to you might look awful to someone else...

The best solution is to log on to one of the many tire/wheel sites like www.tirerack.com, enter your make and model, select wheels and then filter by only looking at 18 inch wheels. When you click the wheel size (like 18 X 8.5), that wheel style is shown on a mustang for you to look at and decide if you like it....

A good looking wheel is one YOU think is good looking...

Good Luck in you quest.

Like GT350 said, you have a lot of choices, as there are some really hot lookin' rims out there. Check out some of the pics that are posted here, and look at other cars on the road, and parking lots. Then decide, the last thing you want to do is spend a buncha $$, and see something you like better.
Just take your time, as those 17 inchers, are not that bad looking.

This guy has a pretty wide selection to give you some ideas. I haven't bought from him, but I've seen others post on here who have and had no complaints.

Shop long and hard for wheels you only want to make this purchase once. Here is a Link that will give you many options but there are still many more available. You can just punch in your car make and model and then the size wheel you want and also pick by finish be it chrome or back. I would like to suggest you go chrome polished aluminum wheels area PITA to keep looking good. You will have to wash and polish them weekly to keep them looking good unless they are coated.

Since you'll be needing new tires to go with the bigger wheels you might want to buy them ASAP, as the prices of tires are going up right along with the increase in oil prices.
Story about that on today's news.
