Wheels for 24 GT performance pack.

[RonnieMac12]

We are looking to go with a wider wheel setup for my wife's 24 gt performance pack car with a stage 2 Whipple. Hard to find picks of these Chrome GTD wheels on vehicles. What's everyone's opinion on how they will look? The car is lowered, and we are going with 19x10 on the front and 19x11 on the rear.

I think they would look good, I think a grey or graphite would accent the stripe. I’m not a chrome person so I went with LMR DHP1 19x10/11 gloss graphite. I also have a 24 performance pack but a stage 1, lowered on BMR Handling springs. I went with the 325s for the rear tire. Good luck on your choice.

Are you looking to look good or be safe?

You are adding power, are the wheels going to take that power without breaking?

SFI 15.1 certified?

I made this with ai not perfect but you can get idea of the colors

We do not plan to drag the car, just a little spirited driving. I will say we fall into the "way more power than we will use" category. Your definitely making me think about it differently and I need to do some more research.

Stage2 Whipple is a lot to never drag the car and engage in "a little spirited driving."

Imagine telling somebody in 1972 . . . wait, let's examine what the "5.0" could do back then . . . The same size engine in the Mustang, 302, produced 140 horsepower in 1972. Wow, I got a V8! You could upgrade to the 351 with 177, 266, or 275 horsepower <-- the top dog in 1972. I am sure that buyers thought they were "fast."

Imagine telling somebody in 1972 that in the future you can buy a Mustang off the showroom floor with 480, 486, or 500 horsepower (or a 4 cylinder with 315 horsepower!).


But, oh, to engage in some spirited driving we need 875 horsepower!

Car technology has definitely come a long way.

Be careful with all of that horsepower out on the street, please.

Chrome is a little bright for me. Here's pics of my white S550 with charcoal gray and "titanium" wheels. I like your color scheme. Did you add the stripes?

It's your Mustang and money! If it were me....................I'd lean more towards a darker color wheel to contrast with the white.

Let us know what you go with!

I see you have the Nite Pony package too. The NP package as you know is all about black/dark accents (Nite....slang/informal for Night). Nothing wrong with asking for others opinions. Prior to my opinion.... It's all about what you and your wife like (it's that simple).

Unfortunately my opinion is going to make your parade get wet.

For me chrome wheels on a white NP Mustang is a no go. White is one strike and NP another. If you guys are set on getting away from Black go with Graphite or Titanium as @MidwayJ recommended. The strip color looks good coordinate w/stripe.

Not a fan of chrome. But its your car.

Both look nice, ive tried to find something to match the silver. The MHP1 is nice just wish they were a little lighter silver. The stripes were on it already. It is the color combo we were looking for though. Actually more like yours. But we saw this with the black pins on the outside and loved it.

I think i followed all of that. And thank you, yes we are very careful. The great thing about it is that its a great daily driver lol. Its a nice change of pace from my Shelby. Kind of nice to hop in an automatic once in a while.

Tastes differ, they're not to mine, but it's not my car. I also think darker wheels suit light colours better

I dont disagree with any of that. Ive been trying to find something close to the silver of the stripes. The MHP1 is nice but it comes in graphite so its a little darker. I have chrome on my Shelby and it looks nice but it is Vapor silver.
