Default DRs+daily driver=????

it = human sh*t everywhere. So this morning at around 5AM i'm driving to work andI've gotten very comfortable driving with my M/T ET streets out back...[sm=nono.gif]. So I'm driving at around 55mph and I dont notice that over the next exit its pouring cats and dogs, all of the sudden I'm driving in this heavy rainand my driver side back tire catches a puddle, my car turns andfaces the center median and drift sideways for a couple hundred feet, I decided to turn with the spin before my car hits the median front first. Well, finally, I hit the median with the back right ride and I'm sitting in the emergency lane facing oncoming traffic. After, hoping I would wake up from this nightmare, I start the car, bust a U and get off the highway into a gas station. I get out and walk around.... I cant believe it!! there not even a scratch on her, only curb rash on the passenger side rims. I checked the suspension everything looks ok and the car drives perfectly, just like before.

So now my M/Ts gotta go and and thinking of gettingsome rims, thinking of the 10th anni. svt rims, they're pretty light and can take some nice 275 BFG KDWs

thanks, I looked at a lot of rims, its just the crome its very flashy and calls a lot of attention and black rims like the FRs and bullits are nice but I'm looking more into the hypercoated finish.

I, too, have never been a huge fan of the 10th anniversaries either. I bet hypercoated FR500 would look siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick.
I've seen them on a AB Mach, man they are gorgous.

Break the monotony. Go for some non-mustang wheels. If you have to do stang wheels, do something like the GT4's.

CCW's, BBS, Tru Forged are some other options although they can get pricey.

Can you fix the link in your first post? [:@]
