For the people who bought some wheels..


how much did it cost for wheels and everything total .. I went to this tire shop and I told them I wanted 2003 Chrome Cobra rims 17x9 and they'll get it and give me lifetime warranty tires, and do everything else for $1400 ... idk seems pretty pricey, is this too much or about how much you should expect to be paying? ... Im not too much of a fan of full chrome I'd prefer black with a chrome lip but I have a burgandy mustang and I dont think it'll look good, ... idk I was also thinking instead maybe I can go to some place and get my stock Rims Chromed out, save me on tires and such ... anyone done that?

I bought 20" divincis for about $1900 OUT THE DOOR (tax, balance, mount, tires, etc.) For some 17" cobra rims, I think $1400 is pricey. That is what I had my mustang (well 17" mustang GT rims) and the dealer charged me $1200 and that is with HIS markup. Mine are for sale if you are interested. $750 for rims and Pirelli tires. My mustang is only 6 months old and the rims got taken off at 2,810 miles so still considered brand new. I am in Long Beach, CA if you are interested.

05+ won't fit 99-04, but 1400 including tires is a good deal.

Depends on the type of tires you use.

$500-700 for rims.
$120-300 per tire.
$50'sh for mount and balance.

$1400 sounds about mid-range.

Yep, and 20s on anything but an 05+ look horrible

Their are a very limited amount of exceptions to this rule.

I don't agree with that at all. 20" wheels on a lowered stang completely gets rid of the fender gap and looks great on a 99-04 Mustang. The only down side is you have to get a higher gear ratio to make up for power lost with the bigger wheels.
