First post here.

I have a 2001 Oxford White 3.8L. It is completely stock except for audio/video. Now that I have put over 7 grand into the audio, I am looking to start improving exterior. I have seen pretty much every possible Mustang wheel but I can't decide. My problem is size. I don't know if getting 18's is going to be big for a daily driver. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

PS: If anyone has seen a nice white v6 and his pictures, would you mind sending them to me? White is not the kind of color that is easy to make look good, so I am looking for examples that make the white really shine. Thanks.

I have 18's on my 1998 daily driver.... They're fine.

the problem with 18s is your going to pay $$$$$ for tires...i personally think some 17 in. black bullet rims look best on a white mustang

chrome, silver or polished rims do nothing for a white car...the grey or black rims on a white car gives it some personality i think, but thats my opinion

Chrome rims + white car is a super-clean look.

Are you kidding me? Just because I like my car loud does not mean I want it to fit in with the import crowd. A good show car (mine is not, but that is not pertinent to my point) has the show, has the go, and has the sound. I guarantee that 95% of

Americans have a radio that is not stock. The difference between them and the group of people like me, is, that car audio is a hobby. I'll assure you that, if I was into imports I would have bought one, no? Also, me being 16 and even owning a mustang is quite a priviledge. I know kids who would die to have what I have.

Now, onto the posts. Thanks for all the input people. I was looking around and saw a post with some wheels that looked hot on a silver car. It was a post about a silver GT with the 10th Aniv. Edition wheels. If you have the time, could you check those
out and give me your opinion? Thanks!
