    Definatly too much wheel. I am against anything that hinders the performance of the car and anything over 18" is adding too much unsprung weight IMO.

    They probably used those wheels specifically so the brake manuf. could show off the brakes.

    "All that added plastic"? Most of the plastic is there on the OE car - there's maybe an added inch or so to the stock vehicle. Front and rear bumpers - plastic, runners - plastic, wing mirrors - plastic, wing - plastic. If that car's "rice" (ok, forgetting the wheels), would you remove ALL 05 Mustang "bumpers", since they have no functional value whatsoever?

    i dunno i like the overall car w/ the rims. My question though, what do you all consider "rice" these days. Im starting hearing people say that too much now when theres no legitimate reason. Not saying you all dont but i just want to know. Im not trying to start an argument or anything of that nature.

    Like everything else the opinion of "Rice" will vary from person to person. I think this car looks great minus the wheels. I don't think there is anything rice about this car including the wheels. I just don't think they work well. I agree that anything less than 5 spokes doesn't work on this car.

    The wheels are made by GFG racing. It is a company owned by Giovanna. The car beside it is a Lincoln Conti with the suicide doors.

    i like the paint design, it cuts down the perceived height of the car, but those wheels, some things I just don't believe should be put on a Mustang.
