Default Worth It?

I recently found a set of Chrome 18'' Bullitt Wheels with Nexton 3000 with minor curb damage for about $300. One of the tires needs to be replaced which accounts for about $110. Is that still a good deal?

I would say that is a good deal, depending on the road rash, I was close to getting some 18" fanblades for my car and those were $300. So I would probably say get them.

I like the bullitt rims they are sharp looking and say mustang so I would say do it and if the road rash isn't bad then it is worth it

is the road rash on the tires or wheels? i would say the wheels, as long as they are in good condition, are possibly worth it alone.

I went ahead and got the wheels and tires and they weren't to bad all together. I have to get one new tire so the total cost was about $500 which i figured is still better than $1300 new. I am working on a budget and it fit perfectly. But overall I am very happy, it really helps the look of the car.

Did your V6 come with 16" wheels?

I'll be interested to see if you need to install wheel stops so as not to rub when turning lock to lock, uturns, etc.

I'm getting the '10's 18" GT silver painted wheels/tires and have opted to get the Roush kit to avoid that problem.

Have any troubles with rubbing? Install steering stops?
