Yea im gettin some new saleen wheels but im not sure what size to go with, im thinkin 18" but i think it might be too big so maybe 17", and ive got the red mustang in my sig, what color rims would be best to go with on my car. im thinkin chrome or like a gunmmetal grey color. jsut lookin for opinions. so just what size wheel and color to run with

[El_Cangri]

i like the red/black scheme

[jgreaves]

yea i was thinkin about that but i have a pretty bright red and idk how good the red/black scheme would look

[Onemanzu]

chrome, black, hypercoated/gunmetal

17s are nice 18's are a tad on the larger size...

if you care much about how your car feels then go with 17s they weigh a little less and will preform a bit better... not like its night and day... but still they just are a little lighter

[jgreaves]

yea i dont want anything too big or rubbing issues so i think ill go with 17"s, thats a nice lookin mustang in your sig, is it yours?

[Onemanzu]

nope ... here is your sign??

yea and those are 17s if you were wondering

[jgreaves]

yea those are a good lookin size

[Onemanzu]

i have lowering springs in my garage but im waiting till a long break to do it

[jgreaves]

yea did you stagger the wheels

[tjames]

17s will be good for performance and looks. 16's will be better for performance

the rim color all depends on if you are going to do any accents.. if you are going to just keep it red with no accent colors i would say get a silver or gunmetal color, nothing darker with a bright red car unless you have black accents on it. i have 17x8's also on mine, 95 cobra r's wrapped in 255/45/r17 kumho escta asx's

[whitemustang02]

17 r ideal because they alow u to upgrade to biger brakes if u need/want to

why do you have 255s?

how do you like your ASX's??

i personally wouldn't recommend them for high performance applications but other wise not to shaby

[3.8Coastie]

i bought a rim and tire package from tire rack and it came with the 255's lol

i love my ASX's... when i first got them my car was kinda hard to control because my tires would grip into each bump in the road and steer me off a lil bit. once i broke em in i havent had any problems with them and they have good traction and a sweet look. they are Z rated and 420 AA A... cant say anything bad about em though... love my kumho's... when they wear out ill be gettin the same tires for replacement
