So I bought new wheels and tires

Ghryphen · 08-05-2005, 06:02 PM

I've been shopping around for wheels and tires for my Mustang and was trying to decide on this one set. I decided to superimpose the wheels onto my car to see what it would look like. They look pretty cool so I bought them, they show up next week and now I'm curious to see how well a picture of the real wheels will look.

Here are the pics so far:
First is car with old wheels, second is the wheels I was looking at, third is the car with the wheels pasted into the picture.

Update: The fourth, fifth and sixth pictures are the actual wheels! Huuzzahhh!

So, your Stang shows a little wear, and you start replacing things?

(New wheels definitely more spiffy.)

hey, those are nice mags... what are those, 16, 17-inch? If they're the same dimensions as your old ones, i'd say keep your old tires too, unless they're worn; that profile tire would look good on the new ones too. Good choice all round. ^^

Ghryphen · 08-07-2005, 09:36 PM

The new ones are 17 and come with tires and the old ones are 16 and are due for tires

w00t, got the wheels on, added a picture

Now it looks like it's time for lowering springs.

So you like it when the Stang is riding lower, eh?

They look nice. But why didn't you get some spinning ones?

Ghryphen · 08-18-2005, 09:44 AM

Oh but I still can!

This hubcap spinning kit can be installed on your stock steel rim. It is made from unbreakable engineering plastic to last. This spinner kit is super light weight and spins like the brand name metal spinners!

Plastic ftw!!!

Raiyven · 08-19-2005, 08:52 AM

eeeeeeeeeeeew spinners!? hey, i drive a saturn, watch what you say about plastic!

yknow stang, you could probably leave the shocks the way they are without lowering the car. i know on some cars it might make it look like it's riding on bicycle wheels, with the gap between the tire and the wheel well, but yours looks dandy just the way it is
