Default New Wheels & Tires for the Mustang

Here's a before and after pic of my wife's Mustang. Wheels are Vintage 40 15x7's and the tires are Yokohama ES100's 215/60R15. My wife said, "Wow - my car went from cream puff to Bad A** in one afternoon!"

Cream puff to bad a$$ indeed! Personally I like the Originals over the D spokes, but they both look great.

Looks really good. [sm=goodidea.gif][sm=groupwave.gif] but I also like the originals with the hubcaps.

I could see Mary Tyler Moore rocking out those hub cabs.

Very nice! I guess you bought those with all the cash you saved when you stole that car[8D] You could have at least waited a few more weeks to give them to her. Now you really have to buy her a nice Christmas present to top those.

Your ride looks much more baddass with the new wheels, friggin' cool.

Save the hubcaps though, store them in your garage.

Yea - I did steal it. Usually I am the guy that is always a day late or dollar short. For once I got the bounce of luck in my direction. She loves the new wheels. Next is the front end work / Granada disc brakes / Shelby drop / sway bar / coils / shocks and more. I'll keep you updated as it happens. I drove 4 nails at the top of the wall in the garage and hung the original hubcaps there. No way I'll get rid of them as they were in great condition.
