My Wheels are on! yay... ;-)

Stangcrazygirl · October 15th, 2009, 12:06 AM

I finally got some tires from a friend and had the wheels put on. I think it looks good! Just needs to be lowered now.. The low profile tires make it look a little jacked up in the rear. I have springs but need to find a good person/place to put them on.

Pic..BEFORE.

AFTER..

Bottom pic is just a cell phone pic in the fog at night..

Mattd76 · October 15th, 2009, 12:09 AM

Thats a hell of a lot better. Those first rims were hideous

Stangcrazygirl · October 15th, 2009, 12:11 AM

Yea I love to buy "fixer-uppers". lol..

keyba · October 15th, 2009, 12:14 AM

ok you bought it that way. I was about to say thank god you stoped somkin the crack!!!!

Reloaded · October 15th, 2009, 12:14 AM

That first picture's a joke right? Like, just a random pic off the net to say "ha ha look what it used to look like NOT". Right?

If not, the new set of wheels is much improved over the originals, but still looks a little... bleh. I didn't know they made chrome mirrors...

Garrett · October 15th, 2009, 12:18 AM

way way better, Im sure the first ones are worth some really good money for the "right" person.

no jeff, if you look at it you can tell its the same car. same hood, just without all the billet and ugly wheels lol

Stangcrazygirl · October 15th, 2009, 12:22 AM

YES that is the way it WAS before... when I bought it at the dealer. Soon as I got it home I started pulling parts off and selling them.

The Foose wheels I bought a couple of weeks ago after I sold those ugly wheels you seen in the first pic.
As for it being "bleh" as you say.. no I think not. Its still a working project that I am not done with yet..
I was just making this thread to show the progress of making it look better than it WAS.

BTW the Foose 20's I bought on ebay from a guy in Plano selling them pretty cheap! His bids start at $400 and if you are the only bidder then you get them for that price. I paid $500 because I wanted them now and went and picked them up the same day I found them online. These are for 05 and up Mustangs though...

Garrett · October 15th, 2009, 12:25 AM

how much did the Pimpin wheels sell for?

Reloaded · October 15th, 2009, 12:26 AM

Well I guess all that matters is that you sold those other hideous wheels.

Congrats on saving a Pony.

Those were a bitch to sell... LOTS of very flaky people that called for them. I started the price at $1,200.. nothing, then dropped to $800 and the calls started pouring in but no takers. A week later I dropped them to $600 and 2 guys from Fort Worth bought them for that price to put on his 96 Lincoln Town Car I think.. lol.

cbrown54 · October 15th, 2009, 12:36 AM

wow much better

Stangcrazygirl · October 15th, 2009, 12:47 AM

Also, if anyone is interested in my hood.. I would like to trade it for a stock black one or maybe some other aftermarket one. :-)

Thanks..

white03v6 · October 15th, 2009, 12:50 AM

Those wheels are much better

Looks nice man! Id definitely lose the hood as well, so you seem to be doing everything right!

Straight up gangsta son. That Lincoln Town Car will be the shit

mmikeclass06 · October 15th, 2009, 12:55 AM

i say have the hood painted black to match the car and leave it. its not a bad looking hood

Garrett · October 15th, 2009, 12:58 AM

Yeah I like the hood. I think it looks good as it sits. Its a nice mustang

also a good route to go with if you keep the hood. that really wouldnt look bad at all.

sudbury33 · October 15th, 2009, 01:12 AM

I think the hood is a carbon fiber hood, but I cant tell from teh picture

I really like the super snake hoods, but I hear they are exspensive
