I am trying to figure out what to do...

I believe my tires and rims are the 16" Factory ones...

See Car: http://www.rpm3dmotorsports.com/MustangPhotos/After/images/IMG_0287.jpg

Any suggestions on a cheap but good looking set of 16" rims?

Or should I just bite the bullet and get larger rims and tires? (really hate to spend allot of money right now though, since the car is only 2 weeks old (to me)... and as you can see I already spent some $ on the body kit mods (front end, hood, side cowls, and side window louvers.

This is my first Mustang, so I really want it to look nice, and I plan on taking it to some local car shows and stuff... but at the same time, I can't afford to put $$$$ into the car when it won't increase the value of the car... know what I mean?

I would honestly just say go for a good set or Wheels and tires. It will make the car look a lot better overall. Because in my opinion with the body kit that you have on it the Rims and tires that you get can make or break the the look.

Yeah, you definitely need larger wheels, 18" takeoffs with tires would be the cheapest route.


And remove the door ding strip!

18" Takeoffs (is that a certain type)?  Obviously 18" is the wheel size, but do you mean Takeoff as in the name of the wheel, or simply that you can "take it off"... 

Yeah, Door Ding Strip is coming off.. LOL

BTW, where is the best place to get the rims or shop for them for Mustangs anyways that is cheap but good quality?

I like the Chip Foose line of Mustang Wheels, but man they are expensive... $280-$350 per rim? Ouch!

take offs as in origional GT 18" wheels Bullitts or fanblades someone has taken off and is selling.
You can find them for a good price with tires already mounted. 
eBay or maybe even in this forums classifieds.  500-600 bucks.  A decent set of aftermarket 18"s and tires will run 1000-1200.  Benefit there is a wider selection and you can go with a bigger tire.

Found some "True Eleanor Cobra Rims"

OE Performance Cobra RIMS and Cobra SC

Seem pretty reasonable in price.
