2005 Wheel Options

[SVOMACH1]

Soooooo, seeing as my car is nearing completion I'm considering getting some new wheels to replace the Vossen CV2s. Would like to get opinions. Must be 20s and staggered. Would prefer Vossens again but open to other makes.

I love my Vossen CV3-R in gloss graphite. Front 20x9 6.2" BS +32 and Rear 20x10.5 7.5" BS +45. Likely to go Vossen again when it is time for a change. I have been lusting their CVT directional wheels also in gloss graphite.

FastEd has a set on his 16 or 17 Mustang. They are really nice.

Always a fan of 5 spoke on the 197.

X2 on the CV3-R wheels

I've never been tired if my Roush wheels. 10 years old and still shine up well.

Actually think the wheels your running are beautiful!

Same wheels either bronze like this or pure bright silver.

These are the ones that are on my 2017 demo, we did 19x9.5" all around. Unfortunately they don't do them in 20" in this version:

However they do offer the black version of this wheel in 20x8.5", 20x9.5", and 20x11" in offsets suitable for an S197.

Or their "titanium" finish:

Nice thing about these is that they are relatively lightweight for a one piece wheel, the 20x9.5" is just over 24 lbs. Pricing is quite reasonable too.

Go with HRE wheels.... You won't regret it!

[tulowd]

Pretty much all World Challenge and IMSA Mustangs incl the new GT4s run 18x11 Forgelines with 305 slicks, just FYI.
http://www.forgeline.com/
Can spend $4k or more per corner with these guys and HRE without even thinking about it.

I spoke to these guys a while ago; they are no Forgelines or HRE's but you can get into a semi custom wheel starting about $550 US with plenty of colours, styles and sizes. They are not the lightest, and frankly nothing in 19 or 20 comes close to the potentials of a 18 or 17 in terms of performance anyways.

Some standard Mustang hub specific models are avail at AM, starting around 300 USD when they go on sale. https://www.americanmuscle.com/2005wheels.html#shop-by11

20" wheels n tires are going to be 60 lbs+ each which is not exactly the bomb for ride comfort, handling or accell/braking performance.

These are very interesting, http://www.carbonrev.com/cr9/


as are the Ford Carbon wheels off a GT350R: They dropped the price on them recently, Uncle Ed will be able to hook you up - they are 19s tho.


Welds, CCW (owned by Weld) and a few others like Enkei are much better quality and stronger than the typical, but it's your car so you're the boss.

LOL every time I read your signature - one of the best sayings.....ever!

The 10k bill may induce some regret.

[tulowd]

The 20k CAD bill may induce some regret.

regret needs to be accurate, lol

These are Vossen VPS-301s in a copperish colour. Not sure I like the wheel but gives an idea of what a bright colour would look like

[dbovine]

These Black Diamond wheels are interesting, BD21, a little chunky but still concave. Im big on the concave

I liked the picture of the wheel, then I scrolled down to the picture of the wheels on the car..... ew.

I like the copper ones a couple of pics above.

i really like this look on a silver car . Love everything about Scott's car . Deep pockets , go CF .

[SVOMACH1]

Just curious as to what the widest 20" wheel/tire combo is that people are running?

[Uncle Buck]

I have 9.5 all the way around. I ran 275s on all four for a few years and recently went to 255 front and 285 rear. I'd go wider on the rear if I had more rim.

[Scrape]

I saw your car recently and loved the way the car looked and those rims looks amazing. Perhaps you may want to refresh them with a different colour perhaps?

Thanks Laurence. I think that's the way I'm going to go. Just need to find a good place that does powder coating.

I was about to post the same thing! I think the rims are just the wrong shade on your car..... a refinish would do the job and really set the car off IMO.

[ZR]

^ Agreed, great choice in rims color just doesn't work the best.
