17's or 18's - Which size of wheels is worth it?

BakerFX4 · March 21st, 2010, 12:55 AM

saleens are boring? fr500's go on bmw or VW's. I cant believe they were ever put on a mustang! boring is those spiderweb looking dull fr500's.

k2xsnow · March 21st, 2010, 01:01 AM

Lol well Id get billets but they look exactly like stock kinda lame. Yeah the seleens are boring they don't even have deep dish.

BakerFX4 · March 21st, 2010, 01:05 AM

what does deep dish matter? I would rather ride on 4 spare tires than fr500's.

BakerFX4 · March 21st, 2010, 01:07 AM

whats boring is those stockers you are riding around on. :p

k2xsnow · March 21st, 2010, 01:19 AM

Ahhhh I know that's why I'm getting fr500s chrommeee. But I told myself I'd pay off half the car first. I'm so close to ordering them it's not even funny. Give me a reason. Haha

drazga97 · March 21st, 2010, 02:01 AM

18s hands down. my buddy regrets getting 17s everyday. you really have to see two lowered new edges next to each other. 18s make all the difference.

love2cruz · March 21st, 2010, 07:45 AM

17's up front 18's out back FTW.
oh, and if that's not diff enough...they're orange and black.

Not worthless, just not worthwhile if you're not racing.

Hit a nerve? Saleens aren't bad looking wheels, but they're to SN95s what Cobra Rs are to Foxbodies: common enough that you'd think they were stock. That's the very definition of a boring wheel. Meanwhile, I think I've seen ONE car in real life with FR500s.

BakerFX4 · March 21st, 2010, 12:23 PM

ive seen a couple with fr500's but A TON WITH BULLITS, and no others (in my area) with saleens.

I barely see anything but stock mustangs in my area.

BakerFX4 · March 21st, 2010, 12:23 PM

and on the nerve, i was just picking.

Im trying to ride around on my 15" pro stars but farrah starts bitching that they are ugly!

ReverendDexter · March 21st, 2010, 12:29 PM

+1 on the Bullitts, man. ZOMG those things are *everywhere*. It didn't really help that Ford made them a stock sixxer wheel on the S197s.

mrbigjeep · March 21st, 2010, 01:42 PM

i never see anybody riding around on prostars

I'm the only one in the 17 camp, and that's only because of weight.

Performance > Looks.
