Black Steeda Pentar wheels?

[GRAYPNY]

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.

I think the bullet's fit the look of your car perfectly IMO

I liked your old shelby's...

I've got them on my car. I'm running 275/40/R18's on all four corners:

And the car I got the idea from (EX1's GT500):

And here are pictures from user 'Random Asshole' on here:

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.

Do NOT put those wheels on your car..............IMO.

What she said!
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 just don't like the look of the wheels, that's all. JMO. To each their own.

I thought about getting Pentar's once. It's a decent wheel. But it doesn't catch the eye.

 

[Vapour Trails]

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.

Man..no black pentar love?!? lol. j/k

I'm kinda glad, actually. Means chances are good I'm not going to run into any "clones" out there.

It doesnt catch your eye because you might be blind ...got rid of my lame ass fr500's .....dime dozen and got some Black pentars after Ive seen them on asshole's car !

The bst 219.00 wheel you can buy ...plus they look great on any color car !

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. 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:

Now, those 2 pictures above look nice.

I'm thinking the black ones against the grabber orange would look nice....
