You are a moron. Never tell someone what to stick with certain wheels because they are the norm. That is just ****ing ignorant. Mustang wheels are heavy as **** as well.

OP, most people will run 9" up front and 10" or 10.5" in the rear. You can run wider but it will involve spacers, fender rolling, etc.

This.

Although, aren't wheels (like yours) a little bit on the expensive side? jw

are you mad just because you have different wheels? my bad, he sounded new so I was hoping he didnt throw some damn 20s or some crazy **** that looked awful... you cant go wrong with any of the choices I listed. I dont think he was lookin at true forged or anything. what was I thinking? Nobody likes saleens,fr's, or bullits... they ALL look terrible and everone should be looking to spend a couple of grand to save 30 pounds. DID I SAY GET THESE WHEELS BECAUSE THEY ARE THE NORM???? no they all look good and right at home on a mustang. I just tried to keep it simple and easy. they are all affordable and you can get them anywhere.

Chill out Brah ! If we are talking wheels , tires or suspension Jmac and Jazzer are the ones that know WTF there talkin about. Show some respect and dont get offensive on the noobz and scare them away. Oh and keep the lame disrespectful comments out the forums , if you want insult someone do it with taste.
