Well,

Many of you read my thread about a month agao about me getting run off the road by an 18-wheeler. (https://mustangforums.com/m_1542329/tm.htm) Well, after 1 month and $1,000 deductible later, I finally got a call from the shop this morning. They can't find the rims to replace my two that were damaged and they can not repair them. I can't find these anywhere. They came with my car when I bought them.



So, they have given my $1,140 ($370 for each and $200 for eash tire). Now I need to find new rims. I'm looking for a nice looking set of four to go on my Mineral Grey. Now, 20's would be the best because that way I could use the same back tires, but I know 18's would be better performace wise. What do you all think? Any suggestions for nice looking rims? Budget is gonna be about 1,000-1,100 for a set of 20's, or 800-900 for 18's or 19's.

I just got 4 crome rims and tires for $1380 from mustangtuning.com. Free shipping/mounting/balancing and they showed up in 3 days! I wish I had ordered 18x10's for the back though. or maybe 19x10s.

Shipped: 4 Chrome Mustang S Style Wheel - 2005+ (18x9) $179.99
Shipped: 4 Sumitomo High Performance HTR Z II Tire (255/45-18) $166.00

I tried to put them on last night and the stock lug nuts didn't seem like they fit quite right (too fat and too short), so I got some taller narrower lug nuts ("7B") from pep boys this morning. We will see how it goes tonight.

DUDE!!! I see 18" stock take offs on Ebay all the time! Usually run about 750 for all 4 with the tires included.

If you're into chrome these are the sweetest I've ever seen. They are copies of the FORD GT wheels and I love the pattern. They also look easy to clean.
