my brain hurts, i cant decide, please choose for me!!!

[Vengeance]

I have been constantly changing my mind back and forth. A i cannot choose anymore, i give up.

So please help me, rims do i get: i really like all of these rims.

18in saleens chrome/black chrome
18in fr500s silver
17in 03 cobras chrome/machined
17in 95 cobra R chrome

standard fitment only, i like the 17s because the tire cost is better, and i can get a better tire for the same amount of money as the chreaper 18in tires.

but 18s look so sexy on lowered stangs.

I have fr500s so if i went silver i would have to ditch the rear wide rims and get a standard ones then have them all powered coated, but the cost of doing all that comes out to about the same cost as getting some saleens.

I drive in southern california and the roads are not great, so having a 17 would probably help with ride comfort maybe?

But i love saleens? ugh help me! :tongue3:

Why not just paint your current fr500s?



Why not save up to get a nice set of 18s? Seems silly to buy 17s just because they're cheaper. If you're not satisfied its not worth the money.

I dont feel comfortable painting them myself, i have ocd and i am a perfectionist, so if i mess up at all it will bother the crap out of me, so i would rather send it to a professional. But i dont want to run staggered fitment anymore, so i would sell the rear rims and but standard size in place, have all four corners with the same size.

I would get a 1in spacer for the rear! i want to be able to rotate my tires

 

[Ferocious]

Black chrome 18" saleens sound tits. I would go with those.

 

[Tony]

you're trying to ditch the wheels you have now cause you dont want staggered? wtf? lolol.

anywho yea i would do 18" saleens. ahhh wait though...not only do you not want staggered but you also want small wheels? i am of no use to you with any opinion i would have :sad5:

 

[Steven]

18's or ride around on spares. These cars are designed for 18's

 

[Vengeance]

Haha you guys are awesome okay 18s is the vote for everyone, I guess appearance trumps function. So then saleens or fr500s?

eeehhhh, idk about that. i guss i'm like an all or nothing guy. if i were to go the performance route i would'nt even bother with 17's, lol. bigs and littles on some 15" welds or something. if i'm going for a nice looking street car then yea....at least an 18 imo. those fr's look pretty good are they damaged or something?

 

[ReplicaR]

Interested in trading? I've got original Cobra Rs with very good tires on them. Let me know, I am fairly local.

 

[thorco3]

Hey ReplicaR, if you are interested in selling those shoot me a msg. I'm in southern IN, so I'd need them shipped, not sure where you are located

 

[ReplicaR]

Not really looking to sell them, trade perhaps. I don't want to spend money on another set of street wheels right now.

 

[thorco3]

no street wheels to trade here. I've got some waffles and the welds at the moment. Let me know if you ever want to sell. I'd like to have a stock/oem set of R58 cobras or FRPP fr500's

 

[OnyxCobra]

you honestly cannot go wrong with Saleens. the silver ones maybe look a little bland but the other finishes are hot.

 

[Tony]

^true dat!

Bronze FR500s in 18! Although Saleens would look good too. And trust me 17 to 18 wheels is a huge difference in looks! 18s are much better looking.


I vote some SVE Series 1 wheels! Not every mustang has them!

 

[ReplicaR]

Those are BBS LM knock offs. Wonder what the caliper clearance is like.

Those look exactly like the series 1s. I love how they look. Not sure on caliper clearance. Are you running Cobras or larger than that?

Maybe you'll receive a PM from me in the future. I have oem FRPP FR500's. 6 of them to be exact lol.

uhh, maybe??? what kinda tires? My tires are nearly gone though, does that change anything???

Yeah, thats what i am leaning towards but it just cost so much money i dont want to regret buying it later.

Yeah i hear yeah, 18s do look better, but tire cost is to dam high. but whats 250 every couple years.

I would love to get my hands on orignal fr500s, any chance of selling, idea on how much you would take?
