Default American Muscle Wheels

I was just wondering if American Muscle was a good place to order wheels and tires, I found Black Bullitt Wheel 94-09 (17x8) at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping http://www.jegs.com/images/photos/397-M-1096-A.jpg with those center caps

I was going to go to Tire Rack but AM was a lot cheaper. I always like outside opinions when ordering something over 150 dollars and this is well over lol

But yeah are these good Wheels and what can I expect from shipping time

Very good wheels. I've been running a set for a couple of years. PM AMNick and you can get a forum discount!

I just wish they came in 16's so I could use my tires that came with my car, I got brand new tires when I bought my Mustang, oh well the new wheels/tires will be free so I'm not that worried XD

thats a great price on those rims. i did the same thing, i have all new tires on my 16`s, but there no 16" rims available and hardly any 16" tire size options. so i`m going 17`s. keep my bfg`s for winter.

Check with AM, I don't think that center cap will fit. I remember hearing the non-Ford wheels have a different size center cap.

One more question
How will summer tires do in the winter? On average here in Arkansas it gets down to the high 30's with hardly any snow or sleet.

Be careful. My summer tires get a little squirrely in rain. We got an early drifting of snow before I changed to my snow tires and it was a "white knuckle" drive home.

Just put on your stock rims for the winter. And I agree with STL, your car would look great with black bullitts.

I bought a pair of duplicate wheels off of ebay and also some Blizzak Snow tires for winter. They recommend those tires all around but I thought that was overkill and they just want to sell more tires. All season just don't have the rubber compound of a rear winter tire and I want to retain control and traction when it comes down.
