New Wheels on a Budget




One of my least favorite aspects of my 2013 Mustang GT is the wheels.  I really like the American Muscle / SVE drift style wheels, and have been watching for a deal on them.  Although I like the look of 19" wheels, I don't want to add rotating mass to my car.  Also, I would like to still run the factory tires, as they only have 8,000 miles on them.  For these reasons, I decided to look at 18x9" AMR wheels.

American Muscle ran a special on 18x9" wheels for $69.99 a piece SHIPPED.  Regular price on them is $179.99, and the cheapest I had ever seen them prior was $149.99.  I pulled the trigger, and immediately their status switched to "Sold Out".  I worried that it was a pricing mistake and I would not get the wheels, however the following week they arrived!



It has become obvious that the car needs to be lowered, specifically in the rear.  However, I am very happy with the new wheels, and they have changed the look of the car to be much more aggressive.
