I would lose the satin finish Ford Windstar stock GT van rims that Ford put on that thing first and foremost. I can't stand those eye sores. Rims can change an entire vehicles look like you wouldn't believe. Go fast parts are a good idea, but the right look is ESSENTIAL.

Get the kit my freind .. and def. don't buy that roush side exaust .. it sucks and sounds like crap .. just get some tips made at a local shop for about 100 bucks ... and get some turndowns off your mufflers .. it will sound bad *** and still look good at the same time .. and if you are worried about wheels ... when you have 1100-1200 dollars come talk to me and I'll get you some wheels and tires... I just got my saleen 18x9/10's with tires for 1090 shipped mounted and balanced .. so anyway ..

Ok .. i don't understand the obsession with DD Bullitts on this forum haha ... ( hopefully thats what you are referring to so my rant is justitfied lol ) anyway .. there are tons of custom wheels out there just waiting to be put on mustangs that look great and are deep dish as well ... Personally I'm doing an s281e clone so I'm sticking to everything looking like it did from factory ... hence the saleen wheels .. but who knows .. maybe in the future when i get tired of looking at the same wheels i'll try something else .. all that aside .. get the roush kit .. ( stage 3 ) and in the meantime just deal with the stock wheels until you get enough money to buy some roush knock offs ... or a custom set like my boy Bransdaman78 has on this forum ...

Cheers !

how bout i just ask this. If you guys were in my shoes, owned my car, and had approximately 1500 bucks, what would you spend it on?
wheels. itll look mega stupid with a body kit and stock wheels.
I'm gonna have to agree with you on that one. Wheels it is.

Walmart mounts and balances tires for 40-50 bucks ... order your set of 18's .. you can get a set of replicas for around 600-700 shipped and tires for about 400-425 off ebay .. just look around and don't buy until you find a deal ... it takes more time but def. worth it .. but power is for yourself .. always make it look and sound good .. then go for the motor .. get the get .. then the wheels .. then start messing with the motor .. you'llbe much happier showing off something that looks good as a daily driver ..
