Don't see an option for a poll...is there one I'm missing?

If you've followed my last post or recognize me, I was asking about tires. What I might do is sell the 18s with all seasons on it and get 19 aftermarket with summers.

Car: 2015 mustang GT magnetic

Been browsing tires and don't seem to like too many of the muscle car/mustang wheels from american companies. Like the look of bbs, enkei, and other import ones.

I've had varying responses about how much of a faux pas it is. What do you guys think?

[trollguy]

If it looks good who cares. I'd do it!

Just dont put Motegi MR7s on it

[multicartual]

Weird = good

[dared3vil0]

It depends. RPF1's, TE-37's, hell yes.

Sport Edition F10's, please no.

For an S550 i'd look into Forgestar F14's.

[Timpo]

yeah Volk Racing, especially TE37s are widely accepted among muscle car guys.. Work Meister is also very popular

that 1967 fastback is just a photoshop'd image. thank god. i'd punch someone in the back of the head if they ever did that to a classic muscle car. fucking gross.

[westopher]

Lol I was just typing a post about how I puked when I saw that stang, then hit back because I was quoting the wrong image, to see you posted the exact same rage I was feeling.

I was about to post something along those lines.

They look good on late models, but that '67 looks like shit.

[freakshow]

Based on Timpo's pictures, I think the answer to your question is 'yes'

[RRxtar]

yes and no.

if you're putting 15 inch +50 offset FWD honda wheels on a RWD sportscar, you should be kicked in the dick.

if you're looking at wide and dished wheels maybe not so bad. some 'import' wheels look good on anything


how about post up an example so we can agree with your choice or fail you to bolivia

[meme405]

Have a look at some ADVAN's as well, their RGIII or RS-DF wheels would likely look pretty hot on a mustang.

[swfk]

I had Japanese wheels on my Euro so why not Japanese wheels on a domestic? As mentioned, no Motegi or XXRs lol

Unrelated note...why are mr7s so popular? You can get a set for like $200 on craigslist and I've seen them on just about every car.

[hud 91gt]

They were super popular 2002/3. They were cheap then. Now it's a saturated market with ugly wheels.

I was gonna put Porsche Twists on an EG, just for the rustle-factor. :troll:

OP, it's your car - do whatever you want. Some will like it, some will hate it. You're not going to please everyone so just please yourself. :ifyouknow::jizz:

[Yodamaster]

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, it's really as simple as that.

[clevernickname]

Someone asked what type of wheels I'm looking at.

Something like these..if not these. Although I have to do more research into quality and such..

none of those are Japanese...

Motegi = division of American Racing.
XXR = formally known as Sportmax, it's a cheap wheel company from New Zealand if I remember correctly

[Lomac]

I think it's more along of the lines of rim styles that were aimed at the Asian car scene, rather than brands based out of Asia.

[punkwax]

I want BBS' for my japanese car...

If it feels good, do it. Even if you shouldn't. Don't let people mess you around.

[white rocket]

It's all about the proper sizing and offset. From there you pick a design that works best for you. Anything Volk or Work with proper sizing would look amazing on an American car. A classic muscle car is a different story but they can also look good with Japanese style wheels. Again, it's all about proper sizing and fitment.

To put it in perspective, I would put TE37's on a Buick Grand National and piss off the purists. Lol!

If that car wasn't a retarded unusable height, that would be a HOT setup.

not bad. any other styles/brands like that and the raijins?

what is this btw and what color is that in the pic.

[thumper]

what is this btw and what color is that in the pic.

Ford Mustang RTR (http://www.rtrmustang.com)

i think the color is gunmetal, not sure. the wheel shown above was only just recently introduced and i do not see it listed on the rtr website. best if you contact them and ask.

if you go to the websites i posted above, there are companies that sponsor those sites and have discounts, which could end up being cheaper than buying direct.

seller names to look out for are american muscle, cjponyparts, summit racing, and so on.

what you can do is try to find a thread like this:

Official: 2011+ Mustangs Wheel and Tire thread (http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/showthread.php?845043-Official-2011-Mustangs-Wheel-and-Tire-thread)

i know it's not s550 but it's a starting point.

another thing i should mention: i don't know what brakes your s550 came with. if it's brembo, your choices may become a little limited because of caliper clearance... or at least it was for me with my old 2011.

[RRxtar]

that is this car:

I put TE's on all my cars in Gran Turismo. All of them. Put them on while you go for that free hp oil change at the beginning.

And eventually all my IRL cars too..

[clevernickname]

thanks for all the pics!

like the rtr and 2nd pic of the velgen wheels but not sure if i like gunmetal and even matte. was thinking polished..or w/e the word is..black.

[thumper]

if polished, get something that has some sort of protective coating because if you are a daily driver you are going to be polishing them more than driving...
