Title: wheel opinion
Post by: turbopinto72 on September 17, 2003, 09:23:39 PM
Hey Guys, what do you think of this wheel on my next Pangra project. I think it would realy set the carr off and would be unusual to boot.

I think they would look very nice on a Pangra.
Who makes them and in what sizes?

I like them too. Would you have to swap to 5 lug to use them?

Nice rims but it would look nicer with white letters on it like BFGOODRICH TA or somthing.

These wheels are made by PS Engineering and come in a good range of sizes. The tires Im thinking about using are, Front- 205/40/HR16 Sumitomo HTR + and Rear- 245/50/WR16 Yokohama Es100. The car will be all black so Im not inclined to use a raise whit letter tire on this car.

I say nothing looks better than some slot mags with wide ones in the back. I've got a set of ET unilugs on mine.

those are pretty slick. for your given tire sizes it might be worth it to look at a set of stock 05 mustang rims. they are very similar in appearance, available cheap and you can add the spinners. Current model rims have very little outer lip and in a 16 or 17 i prefer the look it provides as it helps the car seem a little beefier and less pinched at the bottom. If you can ignore the girl there is a rim there somewhere...

5 spoke or star makes anything look good.indy mags(referred as kidney bean mags) are a close second.
