Default UPDATE Installed w Pics! Look what the UPS man just dropped off!

i ordered my new wheels the week of New Years and they came in today! i was honestly expecting them next week! Man they look good, sooooo glad i went with these instead of the foose speed wheels in black. If the guy that sold the foose wheels had answered the phone i woudl have bought the wrong wheels.

these wheels look so good, the finish is exactly like what the 11 GT500 with SVT pack had on its wheels and these look so much like those GT500 wheels that i bet TSW makes the others for Ford. Man i love these! I hope to get them mounted up tomorrow! I'm not sure what these weigh, but they are much lighter than the redline wheels on the car now. the upos man lugged the others to the garage last time, this time he carried them two at a time lol





i also ordered up soem other stuff a last night. I ordered one of those upr polished billet catch cans, the souther mustang parts pony emblem in black with a grabber blue skeleton painted on it, and a CHE k-memeber with torque limiters to cure that shift bind at WOT.

i bought new sensors the first time around, picked up a kit on eBay for $150. this time the tires have to come off the old wheels anyhow so I'll reuse them. Cost my $48 freaking dollars for the stems alone though. those you can't reuse apparently.

My boss is a jerk, I'm self employed. i tossed them on the bathroom scale and they are 21 pounds each. the redlines i ahve are 26 pounds IIRC
