Best types of wheels, appearance wise?
 

Hey guys looking into a new suspension set up around Christmas time, along with a new set of shoes on my baby. I would like to point out that I drive a 3.7, not a nascar and i accept that. I'm 18 and insurance on a 5.0 was to insane for me to own currently, so with all things being said, I would like to make my car LOOK better for now. I would like everone's opinions on wheels/tires for daily use all year. I'm leaning towards some SVE Drifts or RTR wheels... mainly because i like concave wheels that look good, but open to suggestions :hmm:

Look into the XXR wheels or Avant Garde, or Niche (MHT) wheels

I've heard that the RTRs and SVEs don't "concave" as much as one would think. But I haven't seen them in person. You can daily drive any wheel you want. Obviously some wheels are built stronger than others and thus, cost more expensive. So it comes down to what you feel like chancing more on the road. I'd choose something cheap and readily replacable that looks good, unless you can afford to buy $900 wheels on the fly.

I run the sve drifts in silver on my daily without issue. Square setup and can be rotated regularly. With that said they are not the most unique wheel, but they are very affordable and give a subtle yet defined concave look.

Remember black friday is on the horizon, if your gonna buy a set of wheels that's the time to do it.

With the amount of stock Mustangs on the road, that spider design will always look unique.

Dont get me wrong i love the wheels, i said that lightly because sve drifts tend to get labeled as "too popular" "standard" etc etc.. you catch my drift.

Definitely understand. I think the people that make those comments forget that for every modified Mustang, there are like 300 stock ones lol.

While that might be true when talking about driving around with the general public but when you attend shows, meets and gtgs with other enthusiasts there are certain wheel choices and a look that are very common among the performance crowd.

I know I'm abit of a wheel snob and make jokes quite often about it but I don't hate the common wheel selections as much as I joke about it, I'm just not crazy about the "murdered out" look.I think the silver Drifts/RTRs etc look great on some cars! Black wheels done well, with the right accents can look really good. It just drives me crazy about some cars with all black wheels photograph. The wheel is solid black, the tire is black and the fenderwell all seem to blend together and it looks like a big void.

Don't be afraid to think out of the box either. Look at Merlin's car as an example. A few years ago you would only see bronze on imports. But with his wheel selection and accents the bronze looks amazing on his car!

What it comes down to you have to do what YOU like and can afford. You're the one who has to dish out the money, has to look at it everyday and clean it.


Good luck in your search!

This is true, thanks for the input fellas. I work at Discount Tire in Weatherford and we get MAJOR benefits on buying personal parts if you catch my drift. I've seen both RTR and SVE Drifts in person and they look like they would help give a meaner stance with my sixxer once dropped on Eibachs. DirtyD i will for sure look into those wheels, always good to check other options :)

Thanks for the input Slowgreygt, i agree, sometimes i'm lost as to what color, chrome, silver, charcoal gray, or black wheels. I own a Sterling Gray so i'm lost on that idea aswell.

The answers you get will be subjective, an opinion on what is considered "better". Having spent a lot of time with wheels companies you learn where these wheels are made, distributed and so on. There are reasons I sell the wheels I do, a lot of the wheels I sell (including suspension) will last just as long if not longer than the car, for those who daily drive them.

The RTR wheels are nice and I still feel very unique, many have them and there is a reason for it. I just so happen to like the Avant Garde M310's a bit more, color is a bit darker (dolphin grey) and the color will not fade, as I've seen on similar styles and brands. Hope this helps a little.

Jay as requested by DirtyD i was just looking into that wheel on a Mustang my color and fell in love with the look, it looks phenomenal.. just like a RTR in a way, but obviously a tad bit different. I will be checking into pricing on these wheels from my company. Thank you for you're .02!

This looks so good! But maybe a powder coat on them to make them even more unique!

It's a big decision. We've all had to make it at one point or another so we understand your frustration with it all. The right stance and wheel/tire selection/fitment makes or breaks the look of a car. The fact there are so many options out there it doesn't make it any easier to decide either! haha.

I've also got a Sterling Grey car. It's a tricky color for sure. I wrestle all the time wondering if I should do some body mods or not. I like the simple lines and the muscle car throwback look it has stock. But I don't want it too "busy" or "cluttered" looking either. I love the wheels I got though, now I just have to decide to if/how to compliment them.

I think ALL car guys suffer from this though. We're constantly fussing over our cars wondering if we got it just right or not and cannot leave shit alone. Haha.

EXACTLY! Couldn't have worded it any better myself :) I like the M310's in the Dolphin Gray actually. Now just to save for them :whymewhyme: and find the right tire combinations as well. And i know what you mean, seeing as i have a 100k warranty i'm not touching the engine mods besides maybe looks, so might as well turn heads while cruising Your 5.0 looks fantastic as does everyone elses posting in this thread, makes me constantly wanna push forward and make mine just as unique as y'alls! A very expensive hobby to have that unless a car enthusiast, most don't understand that we're always having to change something up. Oh well :)
