Default Another Wheel Thread

So a generous check is coming in the mail in about a week. I have looked at a million pictures of wheels. I have a white stang with black 17x9 bullitts.

Options...

1.(kinda leaning towards) Just replace the two rear with 17x10.5 dd and get some lower and upper control arms as well.

2. Black saleens (love them from some angles, but some angles look dirty or like there is nothing there)

3. Black chrome saleens

3. 2010 black gt premium wheels

4. chrome cobras or saleens (love chrome wheels but hard to pull of on white)

I really kinda want 18s but will they will slow my launch down significantly?

Also just out of curiosity is it possible to run 18's in back and 17's in front on these cars?

Open to all suggestions, but not a fan of fr500's, gt500's, gt4's or cobra r's on new edges.

People run 18's in the back and 17's up front. I dont know many people who do it, but it can be done.

If i were you, i would get some 10.5's in the rear and call it a day. i LOVE the deep dish on mine. looks so sexy.. do it do it do it

the 10.5 deep dish is so aggressive.. it really changes the look of the car... just get the 17x10.5's and smile from ear to ear

So what about getting 18x10 bullitts in the back and leaving the 17x9 up front? Anyone have any pics or problems that could arise?
