wheel help

XxBEAVISxX · March 10th, 2010, 08:55 AM

Need your guys input on wheel selection. 18x9s and 18x10s out back. 245/40/18s and 285/35/18s are the tires sizes.

cant decide on which wheel to get.

18" Fits Mustang (R) Cobra R Style Replica Wheels - Gunmetal-Rivets-Deep Mach'd Lip -18x9 -18x10-SET

car is an 02gt, dark blue, with h&rSS installed.

opinions and comments VERY welcome! thanks for your help...

Cobra Rs for sure.

BTW thanks for posting that site. bookmarked for later ordering.

XxBEAVISxX · March 10th, 2010, 09:52 AM

yeah, that site has some REALLY REALLY good pricing i think. best prices i could find.

dont know how i stumbled across that site

slikirish · March 10th, 2010, 10:40 AM

I would just wonder about quality of construction, but $460 for all four rimes, that's a great price.

XxBEAVISxX · March 10th, 2010, 10:45 AM

yeah, no doubt! great prices.

forget where i found the post...but the guy commented that he is on his 4th set from the company and is very please with the quality. That is what made me look into them

mabye someone who has bought from them will chime in....

WhtStang00 · March 10th, 2010, 10:54 AM

i think the quality would be fine. i mean i got my saleens from discount tire for about that price and they are great lol

dcook_14 · March 10th, 2010, 11:55 AM

Cobra R's get another vote from me. Dark gunmetal looks amazing on dark blue cars! That or chrome is the only way to go with that color

XxBEAVISxX · March 10th, 2010, 12:11 PM

gotcha! i was leaning toward them..

Steve O · March 10th, 2010, 12:34 PM

ill be going with black chrome saleens for my car

that would look nice on a blue car

slikirish · March 10th, 2010, 01:28 PM

XxBEAVISxX · April 7th, 2010, 09:37 AM

They recommended a 235 for a 9" rim and a 265 for a 10" rim? How much crack did they smoke before you called? For a 9" rim I'd be looking at between a 255 and 275 and for the 10" I'd be looking between 285 and 305 for width. Then get a profile that will put the diameter at about 25.68

XxBEAVISxX · April 7th, 2010, 02:15 PM

yes, that is what they recommended..

so are you saying go somewhere around..

245/40/18?
285/35/18?

im sorry, but i dont know tire sizes that well...

input welcome of course

goren813 · April 7th, 2010, 02:20 PM

^I would do that. Don't go wider than 245 on a 9" wheel up front, holy hell the thing will pull you all over the road.

You can go up to, but not higher than 305 on 10" wheels out back. 285 would work great.

wheelreplicas.com, all 4 wheels w/ tires mounted and balanced for 1,000 shipped. just under 2 years old, not a single issue, all tires still with life.
