CRAIGSLIST my friend!!
Pick up a set of the 19" GT Brembo/Track Pack Wheels (and tires if you can) and never look back! I got a set of 4 wheels (less than 100 miles on them) for $400 with the TPMS. Found some tires and had my local Ford Dealer mount and balance.

My Stang looks totally different.......wicked.

I had the 18" MCA (Sterling Grey painted wheels that are 18"x8") and now the Stang has way better stance, plus handles much better. The Brembo Wheels are 19" x 9" and require WIDE 255/40/19 tires. I have had ZERO issues with rub on full lock turning.

Deep dish bullitt wheels from American Muscle. Little bit of chrome and gloss black, plus they make the car look mean!!!

My pleasure!
Two tone rims will look really good with Torch Red as well.
Happy hunting and keep us posted on your decision.

Not a bad plan. I personally would go with the Bullitt Anthracite wheels in 18x9's. Which is a nice clean two-toned look, but pops on a red Mustang IMO.

We have a ton of Wheel/Tire packages with these Bullitt wheels too. They're available in 17's, 18's, and 20's! My favorite size would be 18's for your car. Plus, it's provides better ride quality than the 20's, which is important for a daily driver.

If you have more questions about any of our wheels/tires, please feel free to contact me. I'd be more than happy to point you in the right direction!

Personally, never been a fan of those wheels.
But to each their own!
By the way, I had 18" wheels and they were OK.....but the 19" wheels really make a difference in the stance/look. My convertible actually rides just as good NOW if not better. Handling definately got better. Only down side......19" tires are $$$$

I look on Craigslist probably a million times a day. I actually put a wanted post for a set of wheels and have had a few people respond. One guy sent an email that he has a set of 2010 GT500 Ford OEM with good tread tires with an additional two tires if I want to have staggered for $700. Is this a good deal? Also, he has a set of OEM bullitt style polished set for $600. I love the GT500 look - like the two toned - but not sure that 700 is a good purchase. Any thoughts?

If they're the 19" hypercoated GT500 wheels, that's a steal!

18" wheels. Stripes are 10" wide with a 2" gap. Not sure if they're factory because I bought it used.
