you should really consider 20"s. they arent too big. they fill the wheel well nice. i have them and they dont have too little tire. they fit well. you should see them before you buy them.

PLUS 19" rims are hard to find in general and even harder if you care about your tire/tread pattern. so consider that. try to find as many options as you can and then narrow them down. get what you feel looks best. IMO 18" is too small. 20"s seemed to fit perfectly to me. which tires matter alot too. mine actually cost me more than my wheels. (BFG KDWS (snakeskin pattern))

jrhykushi ... I think either the 18's or 19's would look good.  Like an earlier post stated though, with 18's you may have more choices.  Can you change tire size on Ponybuilder.com?  If so, that might make your decision easier.  Good luck with whatever you choose.  Post pics when you get it done.

I have a set of 18" bullitts that need to be polished or chromed or powder coated. They have Toyo tires 255/45/18 on them and only have about 1200 miles on them. They are milky white from a chemical at the car wash. I will let them go cheap 400 bucks plus shipping. I know you can probably get them chromed for about a 100 bucks a wheel. PM me if any of you guys are interested in these. Here are some pics.

funny...ricer's dont have 20's.  most of them have 17" or 18".   Muscle cars usually don't have 12 subs but Ricer's do.   


IMO means in my opinion, and i dont have 12 subs I have 2.  And if you want your muscle car to be ghetto go right ahead pal.  Everyone has a right to their opinion but there is a line between voicing your opinion and being a ass, and your strateling that line.  Thats the only problem with these forums


I sense a hint of John Wayne in that statement, Wickerbill.

p.s. to wickerbill. 20's arent ghetto. 22's are ghetto. 20's are a nice fitting wheel that gives the tire a firm sidewall, perfect for carving on any track or street. theyre especially not ghetto when they are a simple black 5-spoke racing wheel. no chrome. no flash. not ghetto.  ghetto $hit is a big chrome dish hubcap. thats ghetto.

I suggest 18" deep lip chrome Bullits, that I've seen on eBay.  I really love the Bullit look with that deep lip on it.  I can also do without the lip, I also like the 18" polished Bullits that come with the 08 California Special Mustang.  Like you, I still have not decided on rims and I will only purchase them till I'm 100% sure of which ones I wants.   To MOD, the journey never ends.............

I had 22's on my stage 1 roush for a few months and I never had one comment about them being too big, just the comment that they looked damn good
