Default How about these rims?

First off will all of these fit in the trunk of my car?? I'm driving to New Jersey and I can pick these up when I'm out there next week. But they will have to be in the trunk for 1200 miles... so will they fit??

Secondly will the color of these look like total crap on my car or will it look nice??

How much is it to have TPMS installed??

Do these look like they have a lot of tread left on them and do they look like they'll last a for a long time now?

They'll all fit into the trunk if you lower your back seats - otherwise no. That's a fair price IMO for 17" Bullitts and Pirelli's. I have 36K miles on my Pirelli's with some life left. As to color matching, that's all a matter of personal taste but they say that white goes with everything!

Those will fit with no problems. They will match fine, but its up to you to decide if you like the look or not. If they don't all fit in the trunk, bring something to cover up your backseat and put two of the wheels back there and two in the trunk.

yea if i were you i would grab em. those are an enormous upgrade from the stock ugly sixer wheels (no offense of course)

good price too, cant go wrong. just make sure you check out the tires first and dont be afraid to turn him down if it isnt worth it.

Personally I'm not a big fan of the stock grey/anthracite whatever you want to call it

I like the anthracite on a white stang it just sticks out better than if they are white but its really up to you...do our back seats fold down? I couldnt fit my set of 4 19's with low pros in my trunk and had to put two on the back seat +1 on garbage bags.
