Post pics of your rims
 

Need wheel ideas.

everyone show off your aftermarket rims!

I just picked up my new rims today! Need a few days to get them mounted, and then I will post pics.

See my media gallery for my Bogart D-10's...

Ok. Here are photos of my new wheels. Let me know what you think. You can open my media gallery or I am going to try for the first time to put a photo in this thread.

I went with 17x9 's in front and 17 x 10.5 in the rear. Tires are 255/45/17 and 285/40/17. I used Kuhmo Ecsta Supra 712's.

Let me try again. File was too big, I think.

Here is another. Angle shot of the rear. You can see the "deep dish".

One last one - front wheel. You can see the rest at the Media Gallery.

They look great! I love how the deep dish Bullitt's look!

You were right the dark wheels look super. I would have thought chrome but those look great on the dark car.

Calipers look great too. Still have not painted mine yet but the weather is getting a lot better. 76 and sunny here today.

Thanks guys...I value your opinion. Sorry for the screw ups with the photos.

Awesome rims, told you nothing looks better on a black Mustang!!

mustardjohn...whats the best way to paint the calipers? i dont know why but i never thought about it and now i want to do it.

stanger9219, xxxBLAKExxx is the expert. There is a post on this board called Painting Calipers from a while back that you ought to read. It tells where to get the paint, etc.

Select posts from the last year and the post will be about half way down on the 1st page.

I don't know how to give you a link to the post or I would do that.

Was this the thread??

No. There was an entire thread that I think I started that gave more detail. The thread that you took us to made reference to that when John mentione dthat he got the paint.

Let me see if I can find it.

Orange: Thanks!!! You the Man!

Your wheels look really nice, and the brakes too - now just drop in some lowering springs to get rid of that 4x4 ride height :)

This the thread

Stang_Crazy: seeing you post the thread made me think about it is done thanks.

Red:

I was waiting for someone to say that! Lowering springs are in the works soon hopefully.

Thanks, though...glad you like them.

buying some 17 X 8 polished '04 Cobra wheels for my 98 GT on ebay

Harold:

Be sure to post some pics. They should look great! What kind of rubbers are you putt'n on?

Won the bid!!! $595 for brand new polished Cobra rims! I am mounting them on the Capital Negotiator NH700's the car already has, I put them on right after we bought it in November, they have less than 5K miles on them. They should be in this coming Monday, will post pics.

Check this out. Got the wheels mounted yesterday and got some pics today!

Nice coupe! I don't think you're anywhere near 300hp though.... :confused:

Nice car especially for such a young dude. Treat her right.

A word of caution, avoid putting hp data without dyno results. The reason is that other owners pay close attention to this stuff because everyone is always looking at mods and how they work together. It is also useful information for when we are making useful decisions on our own cars. If you don't have dyno data, you can always say that.

For example, my car has never been on a dyno, but I suspect that it has about 260 rwhp. That is different that making a statement that it does.

I feel your delemma with this car. It looks so nice in the photos that it seems a shame to modify as it will be a classic soon especially witht he '05's comming out. These cars are getting harder and harder to find...especially nice ones.

If I were you, I think I would only perform common, desirable mods that keep the virtue of the car intact. Things like exhausts, rims (which it has already), and gears (which I think I saw it had 3.55's) would fit that pattern.

The exhaust options that you listed all sound like great ideas for the type of sound you want.

Good luck!

New picture, both the 97 GT Vert and the 98 GT, the 98 has new Polished 04 Cobra Rims and new Steeda Sport springs to lower it 1 1/4 inches, the 97 has new 17 X Polished Cobra R's. I am getting the Steeda springs for the 97 soon, kinda looks like a 4X4 next to the 98, I can't let my son outdo me.

What is that on page 2 of the cardomain link with gigantic wing on it? Please don't put one of those on the LX.

That's a Capri on page 2. A Capri that I feel very very sorry for. It doesn't deserve that wing. Donate the wing to your local park so the people can have a bench to sit on.

Park bench...that's a good one. You know, as long as there are guys willing to make their cars look silly, just makes mine look better.

New picture with the new rims and the Steeda Sport Springs. :D

heres mine. the matted silver cobra R replicas, 17x9.. 245/45/17 falken ziex 512's all around.

if you are wondering why i didnt spring for chrome cobra R's, i feel that since the car is 16 years old, chrome is too flashy
