rims will cost you about $400-$500 for the rims and another $400 for the tires or $500
performance...best thing to do for the most out of what you have is to get a power pak($1800 adds 70hp) you could do that and exhaust and intake and other bolts on and have a pretty quick car. in the 13s for sure.

ok cold air intakes are not a waste of money for one they make ur engine sound better it brings in cold air which cold air is more dense so that means more u can bring in the piston to push out to create powerrr sooo yeah they only add like 1-3 but still its good to get and better gas mileage

in order for those tires to fit on your new rims you'd have to find rims that are 16x8 most likely

usually when most stang owners get rims they'll get 17x9 or 18x9 rims...the tires wont work
