Eww...eww...eww...to your buddies car and those rims.  Sorry bud.

I'll be the one to say it cause no one else will...people compliment him in person because they are being nice, nothing more.  Sorry...unless your name is Eminem or you're trying to be the next Eminem...It looks trashy.  And if you are trying to be the next Eminem, then I am sorry.

I guess my only question is...now that you got your rims coming, when are you going to pick up the Hummer they belong on?  I love my car and wouldn't put those rims, or any 22"s for that fact, on my mustang if someone paid me $10,000.00.

But anyways, no offense intended, to each his own, I just wouldn't do this to my car if someone paid me.  There are so many nice 18 or possibly even 20 inch rims out there that look so nice, there is absolutly no need for 22s.  Enjoy replacing those tires every 6,000 miles at probably 400 a pop.


nice first post... you seem like the type of person we all want around in our community [;)]


Oh there you are! You're the guy who gets to decide who "we" do and don't want in our community, aren't you! [8|]
back on topic -- no matter the description of the rims, I think we can call agree that they will look out of place on a Mustang. (That is putting it nicely).



LOL...ya know what, it's funny you say that, because I was considering not posting it because it was my first post...

I've been a member here for about 1-2 months...and you're right, I don't post much, I typically like to read discussions and just stalk in the shadows, I'm not much of a poster...but that makes my post here even more validated...because...

If after all the posts I've read here and not said a word...this is by far the most god ugliest thing I've ever seen done to a mustang, so I had to comment.  I'm not attempting to be mean or hurt someones feelings, but he asked for an opinion, and I gave an honest one.

If this forum is just about posting what you're doing to your car and wanting people to compliment it...then here...

"Wow, that looks so good." - And trust me, if thats the way this community is...this will be my last visit to the forums here. You don't need to even ask me to leave.  I'm not a big fan of sitting around stroking each other's you know whats with false opinions just to be nice.

Thanks for your time, and again sorry I don't agree with gaudy, ghetto, white trash things being done to beautiful cars.

i dont think that i have seen one positive comment about this whole topic.... these rims look like they need to be on an escalade.
question though, is your friends car bone stock with 22" s on it? hope not

Seriously, good luck going over ANYTHING that's not flat. I had a blow out in the rear going over train tracks on 295/30/20's and they were at 32 psi. Here's my current car with 20" (255/35/20 in the front and 295/35/20 in the rear). As you can see, it's a tight squeeze and just barely fits nicely. Oh and BTW, that mark on the rear is from the camera.

SumterBoy -> RE: Just Ordered My Rims Today (5/12/2008 4:59:25 AM)

I pretty much expected the flood gates to open when i made this topic,

and to SemperFi789 besides a Ford intake and Flomasters everything else is stock on my buddies car.

When I purchased my stang (used) the 20" wheels came with it, so I did not really have a choice.

Ideally, I would have gone w/ 18" Bullit wheels. Suprisingly, the 20" wheels grew on me, plus I am able to purchase tires on tirerack.com very inexpensive!! I paid less than $110 per tire!! :-)

Sorry, but even those 20's look like wagon wheels. 22's would look like a cartoon.

I have 20" Cobra replica rims on my stang and really like the looks and feel of them!! :-)
The 20" rims fill out the wheel wells nicely and makes the car look a lot beefier!! I've had many compliments from several mustang enthusiast!! On a downside, I can really feel the potholes and debree on the ground w/ my tires.  I'm not sure I would go up to 22".

Good luck w/ your decision!


ODDYSEY -> RE: Just Ordered My Rims Today (5/12/2008 7:33:42 AM)

Here is a picture of what 22"s would look like on a Mustang.  It is just comparison so you can get an idea of how silly it would look.
