Summer wheels / tires for the 5.0

[SleeperLS]

I don't know about that style of wheel that was posted in the first post. It seems like a majority of black wheels on cars these days are that style. Most of the 5.0s that I have seen with aftermarket wheels have a very similar style to that wheel...It does look nice, but it is already played out to me. I am just about over the black wheel deal. Polished would look kinda strange on that yellow IMO opinion though. Really yellow, red, and blue cars are the only cars that still look good with black wheels, so go for it?

7 spokes actually

175 for 20x10 165 for 20x9

My problem with the majority of the wheels being posted is that they have no depth. The wheels almost look 2 dimensional.

Ya, I think the 45mm offset they require really effect the depth you can get with out a goofy U shaped wheel.

And those wheels are very popular with the 5.0 crowd. That is what the majority of cars you see on forums running. Luckily you don't see tooo many 2010-12 GTs running around here.

Wheels make or break a ride. So important. haha I struggled with wheels for weeks now. Came across a smoking deal I couldn't pass up last night. So no more wasting hours a day searching for wheels online. lmfao!!

Check out Tirerack and discounttire as you can search wheels by car. The 2010+ mustang actually has a TON of wheel options available to them. The Brembo brakes limit them some. But still a lot of options.

Saleen 5 spoke > 7 spoke

X2. There is a guy down the road from me with a black 06ish stang gt with those exact wheels on them but chrome. I don't really care for it at all.

I cant seem to find 19" saleen 5 spokes.

 

[greasy]

I love the 5 spoke Saleen wheels, but the 18's were fat pigs. I cannot imagine what the 19" version would weigh. They would make your car feel like it had 100 less horsepower.

Forgeline CF5..........

17" crown vic police wheels should fit.
those might be your cheapest option for winter wheels.

 

[Eagle]

Fuck Yes.

What size tire do yall think will fit on a 19x10 wheel? 285? Bigger? TWO 295.35.19 KDWII's are almost a grand by themselves

Chrome 20" Roush wheels. NOM!!

 

[Eagle]

mmmmmmmmmmmm

I like that, however it looks like they have roush cast into them?

 

[Shibby50]

X2 on the Roush wheels. But arent they expensive as hell and hard to find?
And +1 on what eagle said, I think they all say Roush on them lol

 

[Pressure Ratio]

Yes they do have the Roush cast into them on one spoke. My buddy had them on his car for years. I never even noticed the "Roush" on them. I actually asked him what brand they were one time and he looked at me like I was an idiot. Ya....sure......he was right. But that was besides the point. lmao

They are a killer looking wheel. And the have a quality 'white' chrome on them. A lot of the reproduction wheels use a crap chrome plating. I had real Ford chrome Pony wheels on my 86 a while back. A friend bragged how she saved so much money on her repro wheels. One day she was parked next to me and she started to cry. Her wheels looked yellow compared to mine. With chrome you defiantly get what you pay for.

But Chrome on a yellow car over black or silver in my opinion. And I hate polished wheels that are not clear coated. They are a P.I.T.A. to keep looking nice. Like polish them twice a week and they still never look as good as when they did new. Chrome you can wipe clean with windex if you wanted to and they look great. Just say'n. haha
