Oh good!!!  18"s.  It seems like everyone does 18"s on my car.  Plus it's stock so I think it would look odd with big ol' 20"s and nothing else.  You guys rock!  I love all your input!!!!!!

Norm Peterson -> RE: Blonde in need of wheel advice (5/1/2008 9:24:06 AM)

IMO, 20's are a little outsize on that chassis.  Appearance-wise, they'll make stock brakes look sort of puny, and cost-wise it'll be more difficult to bring the whole set in for under the $2k I saw earlier (assuming that you want to run tires that are at least comparable to the wheels, $100 no-names need not apply).

In 18" you'll have a more subtle change in the car's appearance relative to what I think was optional back then, and FWIW there will be better tires available down the road from the performance point of view in 18" than will be left in 17's.

Agreed, imo the only mustangs that should wear 20's are '05s and up.

From your first post, it seems that you are looking for name-brand bragging rights. Which usually equates to high priced stuff.


Ever look at Konig's offerings?

hotproperty94 -> RE: Blonde in need of wheel advice (5/8/2008 9:14:38 AM)

My objective is to find quality wheels from a reputable company.  If my intentions were to seek bragging rights, I would just buy the most expensive wheel I could find, but that would not necessarily deliver me quality. 

I did look at one of the "killers" at my wheel shop and they are way too thin (too much brake pad etc showing)....so my search continues.  I promise to pull the trigger this week, and I won't bother all of you about it! 

I've heard of Konig and I think I have looked at what they have to offer, but I will check them out.  Thanks for the suggestion!

You can see a lot of wheel options there as well as a gallery with some pics. Good luck in your search!

These would look pretty sweet on a '94...
