Default what do you guys think of this site and wheels?

americanmuscle.com I'm trying to get some deep dish bullits. But I don't know if this a good move. What brand are all these wheels. Are they good? Or should I hold out for some shelby torque thrust m's?

I bought my 17x9" replica Bullitts and center caps from American Muscle. I would highly recommend them...

I've heard pretty much good things about them. good service/shipping.

only bad thing I have heard of is cheap centercraps that go to the pits rather quickly

I got the 20 x 8.5 Exodus (black) wheels from them with the NITTO 555's... One of the best companies ive delt with... Only downside is that I couldnt get them sent already mounted and balanced because I have an 07 mustang and those require new TPMS brackets and your OEM sensors... so you gotta have them installed somewhere local. Also... the TPMS brackets i got from them were too wide and so I had to send them back. Other than that last part this company is golden in my opinion... great people to deal with and everything came in a timley manner

whatever you do, avoid RMPoutlett.com

lata,

IMHO american muscle is the best internet company out there. Great service, good prices and free shipping, oh and BTW they have a discount for Mustang Forum members.
Check the first 5 lines of this thread out about the Customer service they offer.

Ordered my deep dish bullits from American Muscle, great wheels, replaced the center caps with others from American Muscle, and couldnt be happier, really fast free shipping, and customer service is awesome.

Depends on what you like for ride.

In my experience, once you get a short enough sidewall ride quality goes out the window. It gets harsh, you can feel every pebble in the road. The Mustang suspension isn't nearly sophisticated enough to actually benefit from race profile rubber, so you'd be sacrificing ride quality for looks only.
Also - rims are easy to damage with real low profile tires. I wouldn't go bigger than 18s with 255/45R18s myself. (That's what we are ordering.) We looked at 20s but to get the correct size tire the sidewalls are like rubber bands.
