Opinions on these wheels??

I originally wanted SSR GT3's. But I keep hearing horror stories of them being soft and bending.

So.....I'm thinking about these BBS's. Let me know what ya'll think.

They're ok, but they just don't look like a Mustang wheels.

Wanna buy your 10th anniversarys back?

Personally I don't like them. I'm not sure what it is but they just don't look agressive enough.

I don't like em either, but I don't like any wheels like that. I gotta have chrome.

I don't like chrome, myself.

I'm just fishing around for different styles right now. I don't want the BBS RK's because they're too much like what I already have now.

I'm planning on spending in the 550-600 a wheel neighborhood. I just don't want to go any hogher than that.

Its a nice looking wheel but like someone else mentioned, it may not look right on a mustang.

Well...the reason I even looked at this type of wheel is because how some road racing mustangs I have seen use that type. And they look pretty good.

As I said though...I'm just looking around.

I like those kind of wheels. They may look better with a little more lip to them.

I think the would look great on a BMW or Benz, but I don't think so on a Mustang. Have you looked at any CCWs Fiskes. They have some good looking mesh wheels. I don't like CCW classics as much any more but they have other good looking wheels.

Yep, I've looked....and they're rediculously expensive. Fikse, Forgeline, iForged, HRE are all about 900-1000 dollars a wheel.

I haven't really found prices for CCW's but I'm guessing they're about the same. And a lot of their wheels are polished and not clear-coated. Therefore you have to continue to polish them. Unless you get chrome and I don't do chrome. And I refuse to pay that kind of coin for something that you have to continually polish.


Alright guys.....I'm open for suggestions for a non-chrome wheel with a nice lip in the 550-600 per wheel range. In 18x9...18x10-10.5 sizes. Anyone have any suggestions????
