Default 17x10.5

I'm about to order my new wheels and I've changed my mind everytime I'm at the purchase screen!

All I know is I want them to be 17x9 and 17x10.5.

I originally wanted bullitts but it seems like every mustang has them and I want my car to stand out a bit.

I'm wondering if I'm missing any wheels in my price range.
(Around $485-$540-6% shipped, tires mounted and balanced)

-Bullitt


-Cobra R


-03/04 Cobra


-FR500


I really like the 35th anniversary cobra wheels but they are just out of my price range. ($539 + shipping + [$16x4]mounting and balancing of tires)

i see your car is silver? id buy 18in black saleens if i had a silver car, hands down.

but back to the original question, personally i had never seen another car with black fr500s on the street thats kinda why i bought them. i see black bullits, and 03's everywhere. i dont like the 98cobras on the new edges.

Saleens only come in 18's which are for show only.

I like those 35th ones.

Bullitts are common on line with everyone. Around where I live I've yet to see anyone with Bullitts, much less DD Bullitts, so I went with DD Bullitts.

If you want something that stands out, I'd just save a bit more cash. Unfortunately all of those AM.com replica wheels are fairly commonly used. But I can honestly say I don't think I've ever seen those 35th anniv. cobra wheels anywhere. I'd say that's your best bet without going into the real expensive stuff. BTW, where did you find them?

The DD Bullits by far man!

They look SWEET on the back with a nice fat tire. I assume you're getting 315s in the rear, right?
