Anyone have any opinions on wheels for the 08? A guy i work with wants to buy my stocker rims w/ tires for 600. Too good of a deal to pass up and not get new wheels.

I wouldnt mind goin against the grain and gettin a non ford type wheel but all the ones i look at are not wide enough. Anyone have suggestions?

Shelby CS69

18x10 for back, 18x9 for front. That'd be my first option if I had a black S197.

Hehe 20s are too much bling for me. :D

I'll probably be like everyother wankjob and just get me some Fr500's and call it a day :(



lol, you know, thats sad but true. Only because most of the wheels available for our cars are retro looking. Only the fr500's and maybe some cobra's are good looking non retro style wheels that are affordable. Dont get me wrong though, you can go with really nice aftermarket wheels like HRE's or BBS..etc... but those cost a pretty :2cents:.

stick with 18"s IMO, 18x9 all round if your not going to run a DR on the rear. 255/45/18 size is a great fit for all 4 corners.

as far as the wheels themselves it's such a personal preference.

I like these: CS69
