Wheels


I have been looking to buy some new black rims, but I cannot find any the same size as the stock '02 v6 automatic...Does anyone know exactly what size that is, and if possible where to buy just rims that size? thanks

I dont really care which kind I get, just black. So in order for me to get black rims, I would need to buy 4 tires as well? Are there no black 15 inch rims out there haha?

Putting anything smaller than a 17" rim on a mustang effectively turns your car into a horrible looking machine!

Unless their steelies / drag-rims on some huge drag tires & skinnies ....

Then thats another story all together!

something like this?

http://cgi.ebay.ca/17-9-New-Black-Mu...QQcmdZViewItem

I'm thinking you wanted to stick with the stock size so that you dont have to buy new tires as well?
in a way it's kinda dumb but yeah, finding anything smaller than 17" is almost impossible...you might find some 16" rims around, but even then that's pretty rare. 15" (especially in black), I don't think I've ever seen that. if you're just looking for chrome or polished, maybe.....

if all you care about is the color, you might want to look into bringing your rims to a bodyshop or something and have them just refinish them black.

I would also recommend American Muscle for wheels. They have great prices, and you can't beat free shipping on something as large as that!
