    Looks nice. Those tires look like they'd do well in pretty much any weather, too.

    yeah they are supposed to be really good all seasons. they arent cheap but they aint cheap quailty either. the rims are gonna be way better looking than what the car currently has which are these eyesores:

    Nice choice in tires. I'm not big on the wheel design but I am a 5 spoke kinda guy so it fits. Lol, it doesn't matter how much you paid for those tires, I coulda got em cheaper I cheat though, I go to church with the western division manager of kumho tires. Back when I had my 02 neon with my ADR 17s on it I got 205 40 ZR17s in the ecsta supra (712 series, now discontinued I think) for 216 bucks for all 4 brand new. My dad got 4 new 265 70R 16s for his 98 ram for the price of 260 bucks...sweet tires too. So yeah, for future reference I've got a bit of a discount lol

    IMO too many people have 5 spoke rims. Yes, they look good, but in my mind they are just over played. But for a Mustang they should do well.

    When I had my 95' Stang, I had the Konig Villans with Nitto 550's. They were a sweet setup especially with a 2" drop (Steeda Springs).

    I like those rims, tire haven't heard much about, been out of the 1:1 cars for awhile....wife and kids will do that to some of us.

    why do people say "rims"? the whole thing is called a wheel. this is a rim

    dude wheel refers to rims that have the tires mounted on them. also it is common to say that the brake parts are part of the wheel.
