    sand. paint. paint. paint. wet sand. buff.

    why does everyone think painting the stock wheels is the best thing since sliced bread? stock wheels look best polished (stock).

    That is unless you have the crappy gold twisted cross-laced wheels... Otherwise, agreed!

    all mustang wheels fit. you just have to watch the offset. the lower the offset the more they will stick out and the more chance youll have of rubbing. you can get down to the mid 30s offsets without rubbing issues.
