Default Dad's new wheels!

So, my dad wrecked his car the other day, went way up on the curb. Totally screwed up his stock 16" rims and his tires.


Luckily, he was to drive the car, with torn up tires, to the Rimco right next to his office. Here are the results...


18" x 10"s, black Helo's. Not sure if those are really a popular mustang rim, but they look pretty cool. Also got his calipers painted white.

They're going to go great with the billet fuel door/hood pins/shorty antenna I'm buying him for christmas!

Much better than the stockers. LOVE the white calipers! Tint his windows for him for fathers day or something

Yeah, I'm really REALLY trying to convince him to finish up the stripes. They only go from his hood to his spoiler. They look alright, but it bothers me. For next summer he's getting a styling bar.

He should definitely finish the white stripes from bumper to bumper - it will make the car stand out.

nobody likes hitting a curb, but when the fix involves your car turning out looking like that, it can't be too bad...LOL!!!

+1 on the styling bar!
