Wheel opinions

DanTheMan · January 23rd, 2008, 08:15 AM

Well I scratched one of my factory bullitts when I hit that guard rail and I plan on fixin that and giving all 4 wheels and tires to my friend who has a '02 v6 that had a cracked wheel which we replaced but her tire needs replacing.

Anyway.

I plan on getting 4 American Muscle Anthracite bullitts in 17x9 with Sumitomo HTR 275/40/17 tires. I was wondering what you guys thought of these wheels and how they'd look on my car. thanks in advance.

GTsetGO · January 23rd, 2008, 08:16 AM

good lookin rims, but what about getting some 17x10 in the back

Doc8224 · January 23rd, 2008, 08:16 AM

I love the anthracite but I am not a huge fan of the bullits. Deep dish anthracite might look good though.

Doc8224 · January 23rd, 2008, 08:17 AM

Like these right here out back and the regular ones up front.

DanTheMan · January 23rd, 2008, 08:18 AM

yeah I thought about running dd but I dunno.. y'all think it'd look better?? I mean I'd like to be able to rotate my tires..

DanTheMan · January 23rd, 2008, 08:22 AM

i'm sold

ya think there'd be any rubbing with a 1.5" or so drop?

Doc8224 · January 23rd, 2008, 08:27 AM

On the Back? No.

DanTheMan · January 23rd, 2008, 08:29 AM

awesome.. well i'm getting some extra dough on the 31st so I think I'm gonna go ahead and get the wheels.. maybe just 2 depending on whether or not I got the raise I'm supposed to

gonna have to wait on the tires though

GTsetGO · January 23rd, 2008, 08:30 AM

no rubbing and the deep dish will look tre' sweet. i would go DD, but i don't feel like buying new rims. get a 315 tire for them and it will be even sweeter

DanTheMan · January 23rd, 2008, 08:32 AM

yeah das what i'm plannin 315/35/17 sumitomos out back 275/40 sumis in the front

or should I run the 17x8 with 245/45 in the front to make the back look even meaner

GTsetGO · January 23rd, 2008, 08:33 AM

that will look nice. i have stock rims and am running 245 up front and 275 in the rear

DanTheMan · January 23rd, 2008, 08:34 AM

well if i ever make it out to bps you'll be able to see it lol. after it gets outta the body shop.

GTsetGO · January 23rd, 2008, 08:36 AM

let me know when you might be heading up there and i will try to get out there

DanTheMan · January 23rd, 2008, 08:37 AM

hell man i went out there a couple months ago and all the mustangs i saw were empty.. oh and there was a 95 v6 with someone asleep in it.. i just said screw it and drove all the way back to norfolk-town

GTsetGO · January 23rd, 2008, 08:40 AM

yeah, we tend not to go all the time. just let us know if you are heading and i will try to get chrisj out there as well

DanTheMan · January 23rd, 2008, 08:42 AM

he's got a sick car as well

i can't wait for my kb.. just gotta pay this thing off first

GTsetGO · January 23rd, 2008, 08:46 AM

yeah, and with what he has planned it is going to be even sicker. i am done with the car for now. got to start saving up for the short block and novi2000

Doc8224 · January 23rd, 2008, 08:47 AM

definatly get the 245's and 315's that would look sweet. Won't have to worry about traction issues till you get the blower thats for sure.

DanTheMan · January 23rd, 2008, 08:48 AM

so 17x8 front and 17x10.5 rear? I think that'd look best.. and yeah when the kb comes I'll have to run like a 17x20 rear
