Default Rims are on!

Got my order from AM today, Staggered 18x9/10 2010 GT500 Black Machined Replica's. In the spirit of comparison, here is the car this morning.


The rims/tires new out of the boxes


And now after I finally got them all on and got the car set back down I took some photos. Sorry for the poor angles but it was night by the time I was able to do the swap so I had to make do where I could!










Next thoughts on the list are maybe removing the golden sticker along the bottom, I'd like to get body colored side skirts, and maybe a drop depending on my cash flow

You definitely need lowering springs to compliment the look.
Good choice of rims.

Looks great!
The stripe isn't hard to remove and the gold does kinda throw It off. IMO

Those look great and I think the gold stripe needs to come off. If you were to have any stripe I think black would look way better than the gold.

These look way better than the 07-09 GT500 rims IMO

Wheels look good! Are those the same wheels from the AM V6 project car?
Lowering the car and removing the gold decal would make your Stang look really nice! I am planning on dropping mine very soon! Impatiently waiting on my tax money to go into my account.....

When you get ready to take the side stripe off go get yourself some 3M adhesive remover. They sell it at Napa and it works great on the residue after you remove the vinyl.
