Cool New wheels are on!

This is the only picture I've got handy right now, I'll get another shot in the daylight at some point.

Setup, 18" x 9.5" +38 Rota Grids all around. 275-40-18 Nitto NT1's in the front, 305-35-18 Nitto 555R drag radials in the rear.



EDIT, more pictures...

Ok, took a couple of quick shots before heading out to work. As you can se they're nice and concave

Very stealthy looking. I agree, daytime pictures are needed but it looks good at night.

Those are some nice looking wheels, and that's a nice pic considering the low light.

Contact www.wheeldude.com they're the largest Rota distributor in the US and they have all the good sizes and offsets. They normally sell these wheels for WRX's and EVO's but the size works on the Mustang too. They don't normally deal with Mustangs so they knew nothing about fitment lol, I had to do my own research and tell them what would work.

I had some 18x10 rears on special order but after months of waiting it didn't look like it would ever happen so I got these. So far I like them so I'm not bummed anymore about not have the 10" rear.

Tomorrow I'll try and get daytime shots for you guys!
