Does anyone know where I can find set of wheels and tires?
I don't want to spend more than $1000 for a set. I don't need anything fancy since I only drive my Mustang few days a year. My wheels are having issues and the car is due for new set of tires. I am looking for 18's.

Also car is silver so would black or chrome look better on silver Mustang?


Thanks :)

You can find used wheels cheaper and in good condition... harder to meet your budget with new wheels. Your money, though! Since your car is silver, go with black and a polished lip. It'll look great.

$1000 is a very tight budget to buy wheels and tires new. You will be best off looking at used to find a decent set.

I don't like used stuff on my car. Plus people tell you they are in good shape, but you don't know till you actually get them.

Since these wheels are having problems, I don't want to have same problem 6months down the road.
But even if I buy used wheels and by the time I get new set of tires it will still cost me the same? Cheapset set of tires I can find are $600

I like black more :)

Well, the wheels on my car were used :shrug: They were flawless, and a fraction of the price they were brand new. I wouldn't worry about buying wheels used, as long as the seller has many good pictures of them. I can understand not wanting used for things like cylinder heads, superchargers, stuff that has internals you can't really check out over the internet.

But, I doubt I'm going to change your opinion. But I've priced brand new 18s and tires before and I don't think I ever came up with a total under $1000. Even the package deals with more generic tires. Which is why I still have 17s. :bored:

Hmm, I am just worried about buying used set. If I could come across 17's for a decent price I wouldn't mind. I just want my car to roll on something :)
