Anyone running these and if so post up a picture. What size tires on the 18/9.5 wide wheel? Will 255/45's be OK? I'm wondering how these might look on my car. I would like something different the the Bullets.

Be a man and step up to these! Personally, I don't like the look of the Steeda Pentar wheels on the mustang. They look too modern to me and my head is stuck in the sixties.

Yeah I think the all black wheels look the best on a black car.

I've seen a picture of them on a white car and I thought they looked pretty good.

Also, Steeda recommends that you run a 275/40 tire on these rims.

Also, I wouldn't go any narrower than 275 on a 9.5" wide wheel...unless it's a trailer queen! At that point, you're asking the tire to perform near or past its design capabilities! I had the 255/45 on a 8.5" wide wheel and that seemed like the perfect match.

Thanks Longhorn for posting some shots in the light as well as mine. I saw this thread on my phone while dicking around at work, but later forgot about it. But man, you gotta drop that thing a little bit! Not slamming it, but at least 1.3-5 in.

And just why the hell not? If it's just a matter of taste, then whatever..


These wheels will look bad ass on a gray car with black stripes. It will totally go with the theme you got going there. Go for it.

Pros:
Cheap
Fit big brakes
Not common (unlike your DD bullits and FR500s)

Con:
A tad on the heavy side, but so is every other wheel out there for 200 bucks a piece. So you get what you pay for.

My tire size up there is 275/35/18 btw.

I like them in Silver. I've been close to buying them several times.

The original steeda ultralight is another nice wheel, it too can accomedate large brakes, and is a few pounds lighter than the pentar.

No problem! And yea, a drop is definitely next on my list of things to do. I'm thinking Steeda springs with Tokico D-specs. :thumb2: I just need to decide on a panhard bar and what LCA's I want to put on as well.

Also, here are two more pictures I found that were posted by presvt over at SVTPerformance.com:
