I like them, I have always liked the bullets. But I will admit I didn't notice them last night, bit oversight.

I think they look good John, I was kinda like you when I first put them on my car, but fter you get use to it they will look better. what's ricey about them is the low profile tires, Im not a big fan od low profiles though. I was gonna put a little bit taller tire on the front, and was gonna put a 28" drag radial on back. I believe it will look alot better with a lil more rubber. but the black wheels look good on you silver car!

I think its looks really good. Its gonna look even better with ur smoked headlights and i would probably even black out my tail lights. If u wanna see what the blacked out tail lights would look like the i have my set here that u can throw on real quick and see what it looks like.

Ok now I can finally see 'em. Of course I like 'em.

I went with 245/40 Nitto 555 and 285/35 555R. The back tires weren't enough rubber!

Thanks guys! I have to admit, every time I have pulled in the driveway today and saw it in the garage the more I think I'am diggin em! Hey Evan, what type of springs did you have on that Cobra that has the bullitts? I think I'd really love it if my ride height was just like that. You guys know if you can cut already lowered springs? :?

Not "ricey" at all, those wheels were made for Stangs.

They look sweet

Looks great....Terminator has the perfect size tire on his car. 275/35/18 front and a 305/30/18 rear...fits great and looks sick!

I've never heard of anyone cutting "lowering" springs, only the stockers... you'd have to ask one of the guys that have actually done it. But I went with the same springs I have on this vert, H&R Sports, and of course no isolators. Drop was about 1.8" all around.

I have cut lowred springs. My 96 cobra vert was on the ground. It had the Eiback Pro Kit and then i cut a coil off.

See - everyone likes them =)

As for the springs: DO NOT cut lowering springs. You CAN cut the stock springs...but not lowering springs.

Lowering springs have progressive spring rates, so if you cut them you are eliminating crucial coils.

Stock springs are not progressive. This is why they can be cut.

A lowering spring will add to the look of these rims.You would be amazed how different the attitude of your stang will look visually just getting a bit more of a drop.
Just take out the spring iscolators.Those add roughly 1/4 inch of height,so pulling them out,will get rid of that extra more,and drop her.LOL!
It's a freebie mod to try. ;)

If I remember right I think I did take those out but i forget. What kind of suspention are you running again? I might end up changing out the springs again.hmm, i might just eventually change out the springs then.

I'm running the Eibach Sportlines.Had them in my old 5.0L for 3 years,then swapped them into my '03 when i purchased her new.So i have had them for a long time now.Never had any issues with them.

I'm running stock shocks out back,and foxbody Lakewood 90/10 struts up front.Reason for foxbody struts is because of the redused right height.The SN95 struts have a longer shaft,so once you lower the '94 plus mustangs more then 2 inches,they start to bottom out in the strut housing.
