Default Wheels are on !

I went with the Bremmer Kraft BR05. I know it needs to be lowered.
There's so many things to do and so little cash to do it with !

Are those 18x8.5? I see you were able to use the stock tires...

Thanks for these pics, I'm wanting the 20" black br05's from TireRack for my '11 but had not seen them on a Mustang yet so wasn't sure. After seeing these I have now made up my mind. They look really good.

my opinion is, if youre going to get aftermarket wheels, save you money so you dont have to waste it, getting the stock whimpy diameter of a wheel our gt's come with. i just dont understand why you would BUY basicaly the same wheels that are on the car stock, JUST becuase you want to save the crappy tires it comes with? i hate my stock tires. to each his own...

Got my BR05's on now. Did you ever figure out what type of wax works on these? I'm afraid to put regular wax on them. I don't want it to end up leaving stains like it does when you accidentally get wax on the black plastic parts on the car

I called the company. They told me the wheels are clear coated so any good
quality wax will be fine. I use Meguiars products Just my personal choice.
There's also a product called "Wheel Wax" comes in a jar. Don't know how
good it is -vs- other car waxes.

The same size wheel and not going larger is often because people want to not only keep a similar look, but also keep the weight down.
I don't understand your "whimpy" diameter comment.
Rubber is where the muscle comes with these cars. Tires!
Do you see drag cars sporting big wheels or small to normal size wheels more often?
Don't even ATTEMPT to say big wheels. Case closed my friend!

Big wheels are really for looks and for some bling bling type of show only.

THANK YOU ! I always Thought this site was to show brother stangers
what we did to OUR CAR ! Not to get knocked for our own personal taste.
If I don't care for what some one did I won't try to bring their head down.
I just won't comment on the Thread.
