    What size tires are you running sean? would help for reference.

    I think I would go with the 18s.

    whatever you can find thats cheapest and looks the best but like they said id go with 17's or 18's. I have 16's on mine off a base model 07 GP cause im on a budget so im painting them white. I wish I had money when i bought these to buy mustang wheels. Choose wisely! and good luck.

    It is always good to have choices. I would rather have 2 or 3 sets of factory wheels from different years and models than 1 set of new wheels. I changed my wheels fairly often. I put on 4 different sets of wheels in the less than 2 years I had my GP.

    I had stock sparkle silver painted snowflakes, 95 or 96 bonne se turbine style wheels (with the abs covers), color matched 1993 bonne sse wheels and my 16 inch steel winter wheels. I also had 2 wide 5 spokes that I would have put on if I could have found 2 others like them at the time. Haha.

    Mine are (not bullits) 225/55-17. Get compliments quite often actually.

    Craigslist, Ebay, or random mustang forums.

    Also if you go to the tires & wheels section in our forum, there are tons of cars that have used cobra wheels and/or the bullits, with pictures 17s and 18s... just to give you an idea of what to really shoot for.
