oh i am well aware this is so much more that can be done. but i have to say at this point i'm pretty much satisfied/content with my car. i've also got a new radio and speakers but that pretty much is it!
i mean, i've already spent, what, close to $5k!! (i know, that's nothing compared to some of you.) i'm done until further notice!
thanks for all the compliments!
i had been planning to go with the black color of these rims and was about to order them when i saw these with the anthracite and it immediately made more sense to me.
as far as the wife, my big mistake was not telling her how much they cost ($1480 to my door) until after i bought them. i always tell her how much i am spending but for some reason i didn't do it this time and when she found out it kind of floored her i guess... so, she's kinda pissed right now. but she's slowly getting over it.

SO just looking at your sig is that all that is done to the car? I dont mean to tell u what to do in any way but there is sooooo much more that can be done with little money? A mustang is never finished IMO.
Wheels n tires look great btw

Lol, it reminds me of back in the day, me and the wife went to Vegas on vaction, she hit the 1st slot machine for 2500 bucks.(On my money of course.) Figured it was a good time to lay it out that I had ordered DSL (high speed internet) for the house. This was when high speed internet was very rare.

she's pretty much over it at this point. but she really resents my car and to a lesser extent this forum!
here is the info on the wheels:
size:18x8offset: 40mmweight: 23.4 lbswhile filling up with gas at costco the attendant was DROOLING over my wheels and we were talking about my car and stuff. he was a nice guy but he couldn't take his eyes off them and i started to think about wheel locks?are they worth it? do they do any good?i understand that if someone really wants them they will get them, but would they be an actual deterrent against an amatuer or someone who doesn't know better?[/align]

Your rims look ok but I think they aren't compatible with the Mustang's lines.
