Default New wheels





So what do you think? Took me long enough to get them on, first time around I forgot about the stupid brake retainer rings and got horribly vibration, so I had to take the wheels off again to get those off. I like them and am very pleased with the tire I chose. I can't wait for summer now

Edit: Next project is to get those calipers painted.

Wow those look amazing, what kind of rim are those? I been leaning towards black instead of chrome to match my black racing stripe on my mineral gray stang.

Thanks! They are Saleen S-style wheels, got them from Mike over at Cruizin Concepts.

Looks good but that car needs to be lowered, quickly.

I agree, and I don't remember how much, $1300 maybe, all said and done.

If you do drop it dont do it by much...the tire already fills the wheel well nicely all around IMO
