Tell me what you think of these wheels going on Lucy. 17/9 fronts and 17/10.5 rears. Im trying to find out offset specs on them but dont know at the moment. I have 245/40 - 17's that would go on the front and I would likely buy 275 or 285/40-17's for the rear. I think they would look totally sick on Lucy, and a big upgrade from the 17/7's with +48 offsets that came on the car when I got her. They are going to cost me about $600 shipped and then mounted and balanced with my tires.

If someone wants to photochop them on Lucy they can snag a pic from my build thread. Im too busy to do it right now.

Just say no to the mustang wheels

There are much better looking wheels out there.

Black wheels would look good.

Well, show me a better looking 17/9 - 17/10 deep dish wheel that I can get for less than $600 shipped and I'll take a look.

Oh and Im thinking Mustang Wheels look better than my Hyundai Tiburon wheels ( shhhh...thats supposed to be a secret)

Ahhh..Tiburon wheels! I could never figure out where the wheels were from, but they did look fafmiliar when I was looking at your build thread. BTW, I think the new wheels will look very agressive.

mustang rims usually have a lower offset so they will fit on the inside, but stick out some. They might not work if you are dropped low.

For that price its a pretty good deal, and if you like them, get them. I personally don't like that style, but you seem to. They are definitely better than the tiburon wheels.

offset? you'll have a hard time fitting a 10.5.. maybe a 35 offset might work..

Im double checking but I do believe they are +35 rear. I could get them in 17/9 all the way around but I just dont think that would look as good. Im prepared to roll the lip is need be.

Anyone else running a 17/10.5 +35 offset with a 275 or 285? Anyone? Anyone? ...Bueler? ...Bueler?

Personally... I think your should spend some money and get some wheels that won't make your car slower.
