that's a nice present
get some 17x9 wheels or 19x10 rear
FR500 series, look nice

 

cool... but will there be a noticeable difference between the previously covered painted compared to the regular surrounding paint?

 

Durr's wheels are saleens.

You can get mustang wheels in quite a few places. www.americanmuscle.com has a really nice selection,

 

Yes, now I see they are saleens; had bullits on my mind, I guess. I will remove the stripe and the moulding since having a look at a lot of the fine cars posted on this site. The last time I got this interested in a Mustang was when my '89 GT Vert was around. Bought it new out of the Ford Dealership in Manhatten Beach, Ca. It was white with a white top and grey leather inside and I believe we paid about $18K out the door. Beautiful car. Things have changed and there are a lot more goodies for these fine cars.

Thaks for the help and the hard part now will be selecting wheels. Actually, the harder part will be parting with the car once my kid graduates! But she LOVES Mustangs!

You can probably find a used wheel/tire set for a good price. SVT, Bullit, whatever you are looking for. Personally I thing the stock rims look fine for the application. Also the used might have slight blemishes, but that might be a good thing, so when you or her scrub them on a curb, it will no be the end of the world ( not the case with some brand-new chrome Cobra wheel.)

 

used tires are definitely a nice way to save money. i bought a pair of Goodyear Eagle F1 in 275/40/17, with about 3/4 tread left for $75 as a pair. they ran a flat rate shipping of like $20/tire

theres a company thats located in Allentown, PA (conveniently about a half hour from where i live) that sells used tires in singles or pairs on ebay in all sizes and treads. i believe the seller name is like "bestusedtires" or something. ill have to double check on it.

 

its vyc_bestusedtires

here's a link to their items on ebay, currently they have just under 4,000 auctions for tires, consisting of singles, pairs, or 4packs.

give her that, and get a new Roush, or dare I say the 700+hp GT500KR with no warranty.

 

if i let you adopt me does that mean i get a new stang? i graduated college years ago!

 

Mustang verts are popular gifts for girls graduating high school or college. Im sure just some detailing and maybe appearance stuff and she would be happykuz not alot of girls i know buy cars for performance theirvalue. Thats why most girls in my area drive V6 mustangs from Sn95s to S197s and most of em were bought by parents because it looks sporty but its still a gas saver of sorts.
