FYI- I got these rims because I got a great deal couldnt pass them up! I purchased them the second week I got my car they were all mint! This happened b.c firestone cut me a check $$$ for scratches on all of my stock 2008 oem 18's wheels, It all happened while putting on my blizzak tires. So pretty much they were free, would you not put on free rims? By the way it looks much better in person...

Maybe painting the lip black will work

Sell the wheels and save for something else

ok, im just gonna be honest and somewhat blunt. even if they were free, i would take my old 17" enthusiast stockers over those. it doesnt go from looking hideous in pictures to looking good in person. it really wasnt free though because they ruined a perfectly good set of 18" inch wheels and in return you bought those things. hey, if you like them that's all that matters.

Your front tires are still taller than the rear...Hope you don't have VDC on your car

Edit: Also your speedometer is going to be off by 5.5%

Not my taste, don't like the wheels, they look like cheap junk, the offsets are lame IMO , and the color just doesn't work.

Just my thoughts, but if your happy, its OK.

Try some spacers and then lowering it. You may like that even better.

Very wise decision. You might want to try mustang forums as well to sell those rims.

A great deal would've been gettin X amount of $ off of a nice set of rims, not **** rims for free.

Man this is the first time I have seen a thread turn someone's decision fast. Way to go guys

OP g/l with your next set up.

Its always going to be a trial/error before you like the way your car looks.
