That's good to know. Any tips on good places to find buyers? Also, I found a rim I really like at carid.com, made buy Forgestar...have no idea what kind of rep they have, but I think they might look nice on a Magnetic 5.0 with the Steeda lowering springs I'm putting on
you're on the largest Mustang site in the world... There's Facebook market and craigslist too.
I prefer these wheels myself but they haven't been on sale for a while now. If you like the basic 5-spoke design then try VMR V705. However the cited prices are INSANE!! I bought my set for $120/wheel a year ago when they were on sale. Call up VMR and see what kind of deal you can get dealing direct.
Given he referenced the CJs video, I’m assuming he bought the 25mm set. I have those with my factory 8.5 inch wheels. They would be too much for most 10 inch or larger wheels with the “standard” offsets discussed in this thread, unless you really like poke.
I think I’ll do that thanks for the advice. I reeeally like those 5 spoke VMR’s. Much better than the Forgestar. Wonder if I can find those in 19 X 9.5 gloss black?
People really don't respect the used PP1 wheels/tires with "new car" low mileage on the used market. Feels wrong since the tires are so expensive but it is what it is.
Yes, Black Friday should be the next sale period, if previous year trends follow.
Sure, but you'll have to custom order them ($100/wheel upcharge),
Lol I just saw the comment about being on the biggest Mustang site in the world. That’s funny. I thought I saw a buying and selling area! Oh well I’m new here and not the most observant bulb in the bunch! Btw, those hub spacers are 25mm. I think I may go with a 19 X 9.5” all the way around. That way I may still be able to use the spacers. I wonder if the VMR’s have the recesses between the the lugs that are required to accommodate the spacers. The PP1 factory rims do, and some aftermarket but not all.
Yeah it kind of like driving a new car off the lot. Soon as it hits the street you’re already down 20-30%
Those are cast wheels, by the way. Same as OEM, meaning they will still be heavy. Their site doesn't show a gloss black option.
just want to give you information since you said you aren't familiar. Shedding weight from the wheels helps the cars dynamics in every way. The PP1 wheels are notoriously heavy, and using a lighter aftermarket wheel allows you to get more tire under the car for less total wheel/tire weight in most cases.
You don't need spacers if you get the right wheel offset for a given width. The right way to do it is buy a wheel with the correct offset so you don't need spacers.
@shogun32 might know since he has them it sounds like. You could also search around and see if anyone else has used that brand on the forum.
Thanks for that advice spaz I’m getting a real education here! If I go with a 19 X 9.5” I wonder if I’d be ok with the spacers and no poke?Those are cast wheels, by the way. Same as OEM, meaning they will still be heavy. Their site doesn't show a gloss black option.
Wheel brands such as Forgestar, and most SVE wheels (along with many other aftermarket brands) are Flow Formed (you'll also see rotary forged, and other similar variations of naming used). Flow Formed wheels are lighter and stronger than cast wheels, while being only marginally more expensive, generally speaking. These are the best value point for most people, and generally what you'll see recommended on this forum.
Lastly, there are True/Fully Forged wheels - these are very light and strong, but very expensive ($1000/ wheel starting typically).
Now, you can buy whatever you want for style/price/etc - it's your car after all
Ok got it. I didn’t see this until after my last post. Well I guess I’d need to know more about what offset I’d need. I already know I don’t want to move up to 10”. Instead I think I’d like to go with 9.5 all the way around. I’d like the tire and wheel to come out to the very edge of the fender well with no poke.
The bay link from earlier shows an offset of +33. I'll have to pass to someone else, I haven't actually checked that out before, and I'm more familiar with 10 inch wheels to know off hand. @NightmareMoon ??
