    Question Possible Wheel Change? Need Help!!!

    What do you guys think about these Mach 1 black and chrome AFS 18X9's? Thinking about trading my bullitts, mainly cause almost everyone has them. Only draw back is no deep dish in the rear. But I sure wouldn't mind getting back to the Mach 1 look a little bit, but these would still be different than everyone else's.

    I like em, for stockers. I prefer a dish'd wheel though.

    Wheels/tires are one of the most important upgrade and the hardest to choose from, as you can see I have not changed mine yet, but I like the black deep dish bullitts and the Fr500 wheel also. They all look good, just your personal preference I guess..

    I too have yet to change out my stock wheels and tires. I've looked at lots of wheels and am still undecided. I keep looking back to the retro look of the 68 GT with the Halibrand mag wheel look. I've found that American Racing Torq-Thrusts look close, but I need to do more research and determine fit. From what I can tell, those tend to be 15 inch wheels. Comments?

    I still think for the retro look these are the best! Of course these are the original American Racing rims.

    Thanks Chris - I really like that image. Call me crazy, but I think those wheels and tires would look good on the new mustang. And thanks for the link to American Racing. Here's the wheel that most closely matches the image. http://www.americanracing.com/wheels/details.asp?wheelid=158&name=Torq-Thrust%20II%20Classic%20Custom%20Offset&style=CL20 5&desc=2-piece%20wheel,%20painted%20center/polished%20rim&section=A

    Well guys thanks for the input. Decided I'm going to stick with the bullitts. Just couldn't give up the DD.
