Coladin's Mustang

[Catman]

Saw it in his sig and I thought it looked super nice with those rims.  What do you guys think?

[SaleenS7]

The rims are nice

[giant_mtb]

The rims are nice

Deffinitely.  The tint makes it look even sweeter.

[Why?]

The car is great, but the rims dislike me.

The car is great, but the rims dislike me.

I think they should be an inch or two bigger and fill up those wheel-wells more and make the wheel size more proportional to the rest of the car.   Have you ever noticed how small some wheels look on cars?!  It's crazy.


Here's an example...(to me it looks odd...)

[Fire It Up]

I dont like how the spokes expand as the move away from center...but its not that bad.

[Fire It Up]

Whoa...I just found out that the Mustang can fit 22" wheels.  :o  

[TBR]

Just so you know, his name is "Coladin", not "Colodin".

[The Phantom]

I like the car.  But I'm not a fan of SUPER-huge wheels like some guys here.  I don't see a need to fill up the wheel wells with nothing but wheel and an inch of tire.  Along with great handling, you also get scratched wheels, torn sidewalls with nowhere to go, and crappy ride.

So I'd always go with a somewhat smaller wheel (17-18"--19" at the largest) and some sidewall for comfort.

Anybody who puts 22s on a Mustang or GTO should be shot.

I actually agree there Troy that's why I like his with the 18's on it.  it doesn't seem overdone.

It also depends on the car.

Ever see how ridiculous an RSX looks dropped with 19s?   <_<

Something that you were considering doing?    

the mustang seems to ride a bit  high off the ground though but then again, that's how muscle cars are I guess.

HA!  Hell no.  I did give a kid a hard time about it on ClubRSX a long time ago, though.

[Catman]

The Mustang has huge wheel wells that swallow up big tires so they don't look as annoying as others might.

This Dodge Ram looks fine with those dubs.  Probably because it's a truck.

Oh, if you thought I'd want 22''s, I woudnt, I just found it  :o

I really like his car.  The rims are very tasteful.  The interior on his car is a very nice black and red theme.

You know, if my car would've shown up with the red seats, I wouldn't have complained.  :)

:) Red seats are really nice in cars.  

[280Z Turbo]

I like a nice red leather interior with silver/gray/black.

Nice wheels help conceal the high beltline, but it still looks weird to me. I'm not a fan of the new 'Stang.

Well, I've seen the red interior on the GTO, and I really like it.  It's available for the red, black, and silver models.  Basically, it would be red seats, black dash and black doors with red accents.

Of course, that blue has blue seats available, and that's pretty cool, too.  Thinking about it kind of makes me chilly, but I like it.

I'm not complaining about my all black interior, mind you, but red would've been cool, too.

[coladin]

How nice to see my car being discussed...I am flattered!

Have some more pics here:

18 x 8 wheel (American Racing Casino, polished) wrapped with unfortunately noisy Falken FK451, but very sticky and excellent wet traction.



This image shows the lowered effect thanks to the Eibach Pro kit.  It simply looked too hich and with the small wheel, this did the trick with a moderate effect on ride, though.





I initially wanted black, but happy I got red which looks especially sharp with the Aluminum trim.



Another look at the aggressive stance and nice looking treads.



Thanks for your feedback, Saab Turbo gave me the heads up and I look forward to posting here!  

[Catman]

Stop your bragging! :angry:      The lowered suspension does the trick as the car looks perfect in my eyes.  I showed my wife and she actually took a second look (You have a winner!).  She rarely even looks once.   Anyway, welcome aboard and enjoy using software that works properly.

I'd take the house too.  :D  Yeah, sweet car. That's one car (along with the GTO) that I'm seriously consider for when I get out of college.

[Catman]

Saw a GTO at Dunkin Donuts yesterday.  It was a weird blue/grey color which didn't look great.  But, the car is handsome and has a solid loook to it with no real cheapness about it.  What really caught my attention was just how sweet it sounded.

[coladin]

I love my car, but these bloody tires are giving me fits.  In 4 weeks, they have been balanced 5 times.  the last time was Monday and it felt awesome.  now again today they are vibrating at certain speeds!  Unbeleivable! Either the tires are a bad batch, which happens, or the rims are bent.  Either way, something is wrong here.

Falkens, from what I have read, are a good value and compare favourably for a lot less money.  Well, these ones are not working for whatever reason.  Amazing wet/dry grip.  Horrific tire noise which may be a tipoff to something wrong with these tires?

Wow thats odd...perhaps they are bent?  Do you have a warranty on the wheels?  Try changing the tires and if that doesnt work, assume the wheels are bent.

[Catman]

If the rims were bent than I don't think they would vary alot after balancing.  It would be kind of hard to balance out a bent rim with wheel weights I would imagine.  It could be the tires wearing funny, belts shifting, etc.    

Before I would blame the tires try a "road force balance" if you haven't already.  That machine balances the tire with a load on it and does a much better job than does traditional balancing.  My 2001 Pathfinder always shimmied until I started using the road force balance.  If you can't find a shop that has the machine than go to a Nissan dealer, they all have them.
