Just picked up a 96 Mystic and would like some opinions on wheels that would look good on her. I like the staggered look. Thanks

Chrome Saleens look great on a mistic! I personally went away from the average "mustang wheels" and got custom 3 piece wheels. Chrome FR500's don't really look all that good in my opinion. The good thing is that the SN95 looks great with almost any wheel...as long as it's not 4x4 looking with an oversize wheel

Thanks guys, fastferndog, I would like to go with an aftermarket looking wheel also. Could you post a pic? I'd like to see your set up.

Not the best shot, since the wheels where in poor shape.

I just had them refinished but haven't mounted them yet.

Yes! They are HRE's!! 540's to be exact! Apparently we do! I'm itching to get them on already, but the car is at the body shop getting a few things done, so I have to wait.

Chrome saleens for sure. Just not the ones you always see ;)

And yes. They are staggered. But they don't come like that!

Best looking mustang wheel I have seen on a Mystic is the chrome 2000 cobra R wheel. Replicas and not produced anymore, but they look great on the SN95's..... Not a big fan of the FR's in chrome and the saleens are around every corner. I too am searching for a wheel right now that you don't see every day, not an easy find unless you want to spend north of 2K in wheels lol.

I like the look of a polished or chrome Saleen wheel on the mystic paint. Have an 18" wheel widened to 11 - 11.5" and an 18x9 up front would look excellent.

I'm still looking for a good wheel too... 5 spokes are the only option for me but I can't really accept the idea of running something everyone else has (like Saleens).

Where can you get the repro 2K R's in white?

I went away from the usual mustang wheel and got platinum XXR 531's...I'm told it looks pretty nasty! My instagram is nightmare_svt if you wanna see pics

What size and specs are those 531s? Those are what is was thinking but not sure what tires to run. Maybe 315s on the rear. What size are yours?
