New Rims

ReverendDexter · March 22nd, 2009, 06:53 PM

Got offered a set of used BBS 17x9s with tires for a price I couldn't pass up, here's some before and after pics. (Yes, the car is VERY dirty - I've been waiting for it to stop raining so I can do the whole wash/wax).

Rep to the first one who posts what's wrong in this picture, lol (and yes, I've already fixed it):

No center cap, no valve cover, tire looks a little low on air.

BlackedOut04GT · March 22nd, 2009, 07:01 PM

tires on the wrong side too??

The one way directional tires are going the wrong way.

BlackedOut04GT · March 22nd, 2009, 07:02 PM

I like how they look. Very Racy.

I personally dont like them.

That design doesnt do it for me on a mustang.

I dont mean to be a downer just giving my honest opinion. Hell I'm still on the stockers so I have no room to talk really.

Heheh, yeah. WHen I got 'em, there were three tires mounted properly for the passenger side, only one for driver's side. So this actually wasn't me being stupid, lol.

No worries

I really do like the stock '98 Cobra rims, and they still have my race tires on them. The only thing I don't like is that you see them EVERYWHERE. I think I see more foxbodies with Cobra Rs than any other rim, including the stock ones.

I've never liked the "usual" rims people put on Mustangs. For instance, you couldn't pay me to put Saleens on my car, lol.

I like these because they give the car more of a road race look, especially with the lack of center caps, hahaha (I probably will end up buying some, though, as these are my street rims now).

EDIT: Anyone have a suggestion for the cheapest place to get SVT center caps? American Muscle doesn't haven't em.
