Default Time for a new set of wheels?

Well I think it’s time for a new set of wheels. I was going down good view in Bedford and caught the edge of the road and my tire slipped off bending my wheel and blowing the tire. Almost shat my self trying to keep things under control. My wheel and tire are screwed. It looks like the belt in the tire is bent from the flat spot and me being forced to drive it out of the grass onto the road and into a driveway, with no chance of recovery. Unless some one is a magician I would say the wheel is toast to. So I’m off to find some wheels and tires, don’t think I want to sink $500 into replacing 1 stock wheel and tire.

I'm really just happy that I did not end up in someone’s living room, the houses are close to the road where I was and it's curvy as shit, but I held her down.

It was one crazy ass day also my friends brother stopped to help and went in a ditch in the process so we all had to lift the front of his car out of the ditch while he backed out. (side note if you have a mustang then please for the love of god get a traction lock put on it.

I'm looking at some 18x7 Enkie RS5 with Toyo Proxies 4 tires. Now I just have to find the best price...

Now how would that work? You have a rear wheel offset?

No, just the 2 15"s I use for my drag wheels.
