My baby got new shoes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[IA_Chiefs_fan]

I just got new 20" Black Chrome Bullitts for my 'Stang! The pictures don't do them justice. They are actually real chrome with black dye added to the chrome mixture when it's made. The front rims are 8.5" wide and the rears are 10" wide. No more spinning when I launch Tell me what you think...

Unless you get better gas mileage with them, who cares, anybody can buy wheels for their car. Dosen't do anything for me.

I probably reduced my gas mileage by about 1 MPG. I rarely have to pay for my gas though unless I'm going on a trip so that's not a big deal to me.

What's the big deal about wheels? Is it just a looks thing, or is there some performance enhancement that I don't know about?

I was at the Porsche site the other day (yes, I'm compensating). Go there http://www.porsche.com/usa/models/cayenne/ and click to build your own Cayenne. Do the regular one, not one of the upscale versions.

So you start to pick the vehicle, which starts out at under $44,000. Then you get to the wheels, and they give a dozen choices, which start out at $0 and go up to an astounding (to me) $7,490! If you asked me to pick amongst those wheels, I don't think I could identify the free one versus the one that costs more than a small motor home. Seriously, what's the deal?

Leave him alone. He's stimulating the economy. And you wonder why you didn't get a stimulus check.

I assure you I gave no where near $7490 for my wheels/tires. And you're right, I did it for the good of the country

Personally i thinkthe 20s fill the guards out nicely on that vehicle - not too big to raise the car too much (like 22s would) and minimal gap b/w the guard and rubber.

looks good.

Rain man - for me rim purchase is somewhat analogous to expensive suits. WHy spend two grand on a suit, when the marginal quality increase over a a 300 or 400 dollar suit isn't anywhere near 1500 hundred bucks. Cos you feel good in it.

Thanks, I actually wanted taller tires but there aren't too many options for my car when you get to 20's.

LOL - perhaps if it was a V-6 it would be a girls car, but this is 100% American Muscle ---> Man Car

exactly. lighter/strong wheels = better performance

Nice rims... I'm not a ford guy at all though. I don't like the tires on it though, too tuner car looking.

Cars are slow. Get a bike
