Thinking about stepping outside the box a little and getting some wheels that arnt OEM... OH MY!

The only issue I have with these are they only come in 8" at the widest. I think they would look pretty killer though.. thoughts?



Cant wait to here the comments on this one lol...

thinking about making the step up to 18s.

Too many spokes for my tastes. You should go with some BBS RK wheels if youre going non-factory style wheels. And 8" wide...thats terrible!!! You would have to buy them, get them widened and run spacers to make them worthy to be on a mustang in my opinion. Sorry, just not my cup of tea.

lol to many spokes yet you recommend BBS... nice I wouldnt mind the 8inch so much because this car is retired for the most part. its just my cruiser now..so stock width wouldnt be the end of the world.

I would love bbs..just cant afford em TBH.

haha.. I posted this on my local forum and they came unglued. the funny part is...u take a TF wheel without the rivets and put em side by side and they are the same wheel for the most part. It cracks me up.. ppl just flip out because its Enkei. haha

I wish I could get a photoshop done.

n technically..after 7spoke... wheels become "mesh" category lol...

I LOVE the look. More racer ish than ricer-ish I think, they have that european flavor. Looks good man, but I love the wheels on there now, just lower it a little, and you have one of the sexiest cars around.

Haha, Im not a real fan of many of the TF wheels, except for the 5 spoke designs. lol Chicanes arent my cup of tea either. Now you will flame me for this though because i said those wheels look busy. I like the CCW classics probably the most out of all the wheels out there. CCW classics with a grey center with polished lip in 18x9.5 in the front and 18x11 in the rear would be SEX!!! lol

I will lower it when I get 18s. That extra inch of clearance will allow me to run the H&R Race springs and only loose a .5" of clearance overall.

I like the ekm's just don't like the width of them. I would recommend a set of rpf1's as they come in 9" widths and are fairly priced, good weight, and not so common on mustangs.

If you end up going with the ekm's just get them widened, but that will add a bit of weight to them in weld + extra tub.
