I have been trying for 2 years, I missed one set by a day. The used parts stores say there are only occasional singles with out damage, most have hit curbs and they won't sell them.

they are not 15s. there 18X7s +45 with 225/55-18 they should be the 2005+ mustang diameter if not slightly larger. and prob much more efficient then 275s.
btw. if you dont mind me asking whats your budget? I can atleast help you source some 15s
Thanks for the offer, 18's are way to big for me. I live in New York state and I am afraid a chunk of missing road will break one without a thick sidewall.

I found a source for 15's Are you looking for car rims, custom wheels, performance tires, chrome wheels or black rims? WheelsNext.com is the solution! but their offsets are wrong. If you have another site I would appreciate it. My budget is $500 with shipping.
