1st mod...new wheel/tire...BIG pics
Congrats to me on my Stangs 1st cosmetic mod, thought I'd post some pics to see what others think
Just remember, they're already on the car so there's no going back (sold my original wheels)
I love 'em, next plans are: spoiler/antenna/emblem delete, suspension drop, limo tint...she'll be sweet and low and ready to go!

thanks...will look into the red calipers, that should be fairly simple to have done
haven't noticed a bit of difference in the 18s vs. the stock 17s, w/ a lower profile tire it didn't really change ride heighth or anything

RE: 1st mod...new wheel/tire...BIG pics
pics are back...There we go...that's better now
exactly Juntech, discreet is what I was going for...not too much "bling" but should look mean once I get the other cosmetic mods completed. limo tint, spoiler delete, suspension drop, etc... not sure about the blacked out lights, those can sometimes look cheezy/cheap IMO
any other ideas from this forum has would be appreciated

Wheels: Motegi DP12 Gloss Black, 18x7.5, cost about $170 per wheel, www.motegiracing.com
Tires: 235/50R-18 Kumho Ecsta, cost about $140 per wheel
Didn't shop around at all...just went straight to Discount Tire and picked them out, might could've found a better price but didn't feel like waiting.
Actually had the chrome Cobra "blades" picked out and ready to go, then I saw these and decided to go a different direction.
