...when you try to find nice rims. I wanna have OEM rims from other brands but the only company I'm interested in is...Ford. I like the Ford Fusion sport rims from the first gen w/refresh but on my search, I've found some GT500 18" rims. Now, could someone shop theses rims

Into this for me please?

That would be great! And if anyone have any suggestions about other rims that could fit, that would be awesome! The bolt pattern is 5x114.3 and I can't go over 18". I'll give something in return for the service ;).

You'll also have to check offsets. Do you know the offset of your stock rims?

Tire profile might be a bit off since I don't have a way to check scaling.

The GT500 has like 9.5" wide rear wheels, I would be very surprised if those fit. You will probably have to run 4 front wheels

Looks like the GT500 rims offset is +45

RotaryLover > offroadkarter 03/13/2014 at 16:25

Damn...I knew it was too good to fit properly there. Do you know how bad it will stick out?

I'll admit I never thought of putting gt500 rims on a miata but they look really good on it. I always love a good M5 especially a BMW in white. I am slightly worried why he is launching into the sea though lol.

It really looks good! I hope it fits tho. You like cookies?

I know someone already gave you what you asked for, but I thought I would do a worse job of it anyway. MS Paint is fun.

Same here, it takes me much more time to reply to people...but boy it looks good!
Have a MS3 burnout!

The funny thing is that it kinda works.

offroadkarter > RotaryLover 03/13/2014 at 16:38

That depends on what your stock offset is. The problem is how far will it go in. If you were really determined and the offset was close, you could get them professionally narrowed

I almost suggesting the alpina wheels. But i cancel it.

Is it bad? I really don't know much about rims, except the bolt pattern.

Here's an even worse job for some reason. No charge.

Got me interested. What are the alpina wheels that you're talking about?

The current offset is +55 my bad.

Well, any alpina that has that rims.

Or maybe rims like my friend's Scirocco R?
I Love that rim.

Slow4o > RotaryLover 03/13/2014 at 16:45

Didn't know Miatas and Mustangs had the same bolt pattern. As someone else pointed out though those wheels are 9.5" wide. If you want to see other Mustang rims though, I'll point you towards americanmuscle.com.

Thanks! I don't think the rear fits, but the front one does. I'll look on this website, thanks!

I think that's way too big lol.

RotaryLover > MontegoMan562 is a Capri RS Owner 03/13/2014 at 16:55

Yeah they are probably bigger lol.

MontegoMan562 is a Capri RS Owner > RotaryLover 03/13/2014 at 16:56

Yeah. Most likely.

Look up custom Mustang V6 Wheels, smaller.

Aya, Almost Has A Cosmo With Toyota Engine Owned by a BMW. > RotaryLover 03/13/2014 at 16:57

Yeah, that's why i cancel it.

I Think they have a 18 version of the scirocco rims, not sure with the alpina..

Alpina's have some of my favorite wheels. The ones the put on BMW's just look so high end and clean. Sometimes tuner's wheels just look cheap, but never with Alpina. Must be the hidden lugs and valve.

offroadkarter > RotaryLover 03/13/2014 at 16:59

IIRC a S197 mustang SHOULD be around 45-50, so the offset should work fine.

Here's the thing that i would love to share.

I don't really like BMW. They are not ugly, but not that pretty as well.

But when Alpina comes in with sets of bodykits and rims and stripes, then put those things on a BMW, it's become one of the best looking car...

in teh wuuuuuuuurrrlllldd.

ill find u some tomorrow, remind me. I have ...quite the library of wheels.

I don't think I'll find them at a reasonable price where I live either.

RotaryLover > offroadkarter 03/13/2014 at 17:10

I found one...but the weight was too insane. Come to think of it, so is the GT500s. I'll keep looking.

RotaryLover > MontegoMan562 is a Capri RS Owner 03/13/2014 at 17:11

I just realised how heavy the rims are...I think i'll pass...

offroadkarter > RotaryLover 03/13/2014 at 17:15

I think those wheels are just cast, so yeah they'll probably be heavy

I couldn't agree with you more. My personal favorite is the Alpina B7 that was based on the E65 7-series.

Aya, Almost Has A Cosmo With Toyota Engine Owned by a BMW. > hike 03/13/2014 at 17:50

My favourite is the old B12, the one based on the 7-Series before the E65.

Z_Stig > RotaryLover 03/13/2014 at 18:14

I'm not sure about the MX-5 and what you can actuallly fit. It's only 10mm difference but GT500 rims might be to wide to fit without some fender modification.

Z_Stig > RotaryLover 03/13/2014 at 18:16

Another option is the 350Z Forged Rays. I have these on my Z, also a 5x114.3 bolt pattern.

RotaryLover > Z_Stig 03/13/2014 at 18:37

Interesting option. But expensive...

You're probably going to be more successful with someone like BBS.
