ok so i found my shaking problem with my 3k....sry i havent posted, ive been really busy getting my familys shopback up and running, but now ima focus on my car. ok so one of the wheels is mishapen sorta. i was cracked when i bought em (i bought all 4 with tires 4 60 bucks). so i got it welded and it holds air butttt it is kinda wearid shaped, i can see it on th ebalencer when i spin it. all the other r fine. im thinking about just geting new rims altogether....any suggestions for good wheel sites???? there seems to be infinite of them, lol. ima want 17x8.....and wheel max has only 17x7's. wil that be to small???? i think so, anyways get back at with yall thoughts thanks.

Stock wheels are 8" wide. You need at least 8" wide to maintain handling. 7" wide wheels are meant for Hondas and Jettas.

i got mine off ebay for ~ 500 shipped...17x9, +25 offset. Just make sure the seller has plenty of feedback and that it's at least 98% positive. The only issue i have with them is that wheels weights dont like to stick for more than a month.

Aluminum tape is your friend. It has nothing to do with the wheels. The weights just dont like sticking to anything.

Something most people dont think about is searching for Mustang wheels. Thats how I found mine.
