As far as tint goes the darkest you can get is 2.5%, problem is most places won't sell tint that dark anymore, and whatever you do don't buy wal-mart tint, go to pepboys. The tint you are probably going to have to get is 5%, but remember anything below 20% is illegal, and if you are pulled over you may be forced to pay a nice fine as well as rip off the tint. The only solution to this is to ride with your windows down. So cops don't care, but if theye're behind on their monthly quota for tickets your fair game. For your rims go to tirerack.com select ford and 2005 or 06, then hit wheels, select mustang, then you will see a new mustang appear with rim options at this point you can select color. This site allows you to see your rims on your car before you buy them. Also email them with anyfurther questions pertaing to a certain rim offset or angle ajustment. Now how do I kill that damn rat.

I have 18x9 black rims on my black mustang. I went with BSA rims and khumo tires, and cant be happier with them.

Whats the Widest you can go with your rims for the 05 mustang without getting tire rub on the inside? 18xwhat. and 20xwhat? (front and back please, if you know)

I would look up tint laws for your state.. I know for Illinois it is illegal to have the front side windows tinted AT ALL (sucks)... but you can have the back side windows + rear windshield tinted.. and 6 inches of the top of your windshield tinted. And I believe there are stipulations on "reflective" tint, which might just be tint low enough to see a reflection.

In my opinion replecas are just as good as Fords rims, just a lot cheaper.

You could always try GT take off rims, that is what I did cause I love the 17inch bullits. Got mine for dirt cheap and included the Pnero tires.
