Default New Rims & Tires! Yay!

Hey all. I recently got a nail in one of my rear tires which could not be plugged, and my other rear tire was low on tread, so I finally had to suck it up and order the wheel/tire combo I'd been salivating over.

I bought this set and just got them mounted today:

First off, I can say that compared to the stock 17" Pirelli tires, these things are monsters. If anything, I would even say the ride quality has improved a little. I'm very impressed. I'm really liking how my ride looks now too, compared to the stock rims, and thought I would post a few photos for you all as well. (Yes, I know they're a bit over processed. :P)

Thanks to AM for fast shipping and another great product!

Thanks for the comments! Red brake calipers is definitely something I'm considering doing.

I have such a long list for both appearance as well as performance mods, as I'm sure we all do.

I'm glad you like the stripe, drfister. Mine is the only Mustang I've come across so far with just a single center stripe, and I like it a lot, especially since most people go with either the GT500 or Super Snake stripes. Unfortunately, it is now showing some weather spots and starting to crack in a couple places which can't be seen in the photos. I'm looking at getting it painted on in the future, but it's money I don't have to spend right now.

I like those 2-tone wheels a lot. Nice choice!

Now get that dealer badge removed from the trunk lid.
