Ok need some wheels for racing. I'm going to throw a few up tell me what you like, none of them cost a lot and not going to buy $$$ wheels. Most are like 15x4 and 15x8"

I have that summit fast five series rim. Nice for just over $100 a rim. Not sure how big the caliper is on the mustang but on my rx7 with 4 piston calipers, most generic drag skinnies hit the caliper. Make sure your front skinnies don't hit the brake caliper before you mount the tire. As long as you don't mount the tire, summit will let you return it.

These weld rts rims are good for clearing big calipers, double the price but i'm sure its a better rim anyway, made in the usa

the race star industries wheels would look pretty good too (maybe a little taller front tire too)

I love the weld pro stars despite them being used on a lot of cars, but they are nice and work on a lot of applications.

yea I don't think those are super expensive. I don't have brembo brakes but they are big up front. I have a 15" spare and a spacer see how that does.
The back a sway bar bracket no big deal there. If I have to get the 17" narrow race stars up front just they are like 225.00 each

Went w 2 17" narrow race stars it will work on 03 also and the reg 15" dia 8" wide w 5.5 bs star wheels. I looked at the caliper on the 11 and it is huge not like the 2010 or earlier reg gts. It'll match good enough and I saved 120+ doing that. 125 x2 and free shipping lot less than 2 at 175 apiece [racestars] w discounted shipping of 10%.. Front ones were the expensive ones @ 229 apiece. Maybe get the 03 in the 10's w a 5k launch, idk.
So these
