Thanks guys! I didn't really know what there worth... so it's not really that good of a deal. Figured they'd be more. I do like the wheels, but I still prefer 18's. So I'll probably pass. Thanks for the help!!

I got my "bling" Foose rims off Craigslist for 1500.00 w pirelli's. I like them , but you shouldn't pay over 1k for those.

It must be a generational thing. Too pimp for this traditionalist. To each his own.

What other car in the world has so many different generations buying it? That is the nice thing about the Mustang, so many options.

I found these locally, they look pretty cool... but I'm not sure about them being 20's. I was leaning towards 18" wheels. But does that seem like a good deal? I have a white mustang, completely stock (just got it monday) But thought that might be a nice touch!

They look like bullitts with rivets around the inner rim(to mimic the three piece look). How about these? They're $1099 at LateModelRestoration in a staggered 18X9-255/45 & 18X10-275-40 tires, would look killer on a white S197 GT IMO

Those are nice wheels, the guy probably dropped anywhere from $1600 to $1800 for them. so, if the tires are near new. it's not a bad deal, if you really want them offer him $1100 cash. The only bad thing about 20" wheels and tires is they weigh on average about 10-12 lbs. more than 18". This adds about 40 to 44lbs to the rotating mass on your car and you will notice the difference in performance. But, if performance is not an issue the 20" wheels look really good on our Stangs.

I think I'll just go with these...

I didn't realize how expensive tires are. There almost just as much as the wheels if not more! I'll probably just wait until I can find a good deal on some used ones. Hopefully from someone on this site Hint, hint
