Not to be mean but at a glance they look alot like the stock rims. Up close the detail sticks out.

Do they rub, and what size are they, 20"x ?

20x8.5 in the front with Falken Beta FK451 255/35/20's and 20x10 in the rear with Falken Beta FK451 285/30/20's. I think that I will wear out the rear soon enought and go with a taller and wider tire in the rear. 295/40/20's if I can find them. Still more room to work with and as an added bonus, the combe raised the car off the ground about an ince while still filling the wells up. Now I no longer bottom out on things I used to after installing the Sportlines and FFRP struts / dampers.

i'm sold on those nice wheels

RE: New pics of the Foose Gray Wheels
 
Thanks for the kids words also by the way. It was hard for me to decided which ones, Chrome, Gray or Black. But I figured with the car being balck then it was too much black, the Chrome would be too much bling for me. I was unsure how I felt about them once they were on the car at first, but in the last few days I decided that I really like them.

Pardon me for being a dick but I like our optional rims better. You know opinions are like assholes everyone has one.

RE: New pics of the Foose Gray Wheels
 
Looks Great. I saw those wheels last year down in L.A. on a Chip Foose car and fell in love with them then. I have the chrome version sitting in the garage waiting to go on.

Great choice.

By the way does anyone know if a 295/45/20 will fit on the rear and a 265/50/20 fit on the front? Or are these tire sizes to big for the car. Sorry for these types of questions but this whole car tire size things has me a bit coinfused as I am use to dealing with Truck tires.

Very nice complement to the car, and the offset is just right out back!

RE: New pics of the Foose Gray Wheels
 
Are your wheels the same color as this one or are they painted in different lighter gray? Or could it just be how the light hits them?

They are the same. Its just the different lighting in the pictures.

How much did you pay for those wheels? What size are they? Where did you bought them?

If your car is not lowered than I do not see any issues running those on the front and rear. However, I used the Eibach Sportlines and I think that a 295/40/20 would be ideal for the rear and I plan on getting a set soon. For the fronts, I know that up to a 275/40/20 would fit well with a drop, a taller tire would fit well if your at stock height.

Those wheels look GREAT on the stang.

EDIT: How much do those cost? I can't find the price online

nbk13nw 05-04-2006 04:48 PM

RE: New pics of the Foose Gray Wheels
 
Thanks all for the kind words...

As for the pricing. I got a really good deal from a guy out of Phoenix. I paid less than $2500.00 for the wheels, tires, 20 spline lugs, mounted, balanced and shipped. Took about 6 weeks due to a shortage of the front wheels.

Wheels : Foose Nitrous (Gray) - They call them "Silver" but more gray than silver.

Fronts: 20x8.5 (2" lip)
Rears: 20x10 (2.5" lip)

The lip really loks like a 3 to 4" lip, but I had to go measure to be sure. It really surprised me that they were not that deep. But I love the lip as it is...

Tires: Falken Beta FK451

Fronts: 255/35/20
Rears: 285/30/20

I really like the look on the front of the car, but there rear I think would look much better with a taller / wider tire. Maybe a 295/40/20.

Doug sent me a set of 20 spline lugs as a gift for taking so long to ship. Usually they go for around $60 to $80 a set.

Doug can be reached at... 480-580-4169 or by email at dougp23@cox.net

Let him know I sent ya.. I promised I would pass the word on his products and service.... all of which are and have been great from day one!

RE: New pics of the Foose Gray Wheels
 
Thanks for the reply. I am going to be ordering my GT on Saturday. I am now seriously considering getting a hard top instead of a vert, going with stock rims (instead of the 18" upgrade) and with all that saved $, getting these rims. Wow, so nice.

Those wheels are sweet. I have the same ones but mine are black on a black GT. I know alot of people dont like black on black, but I love them!

06GT4RAD 05-04-2006 06:57 PM

RE: New pics of the Foose Gray Wheels
 
I know the 20's run around 1700 and most places i checked were selling the 18's for around the same amount.

So do you rub up front with that drop?

nbk13nw 05-06-2006 05:48 PM

RE: New pics of the Foose Gray Wheels
 
No rub at all... I finally went in and got the alignment done, again..., yesterday. All it took were the Spec EZ camber bolts and they we able to dial it in.

nbk13nw,
Those wheels look sick on your car. Made my decision much eaiser. Was going to go with the Chrome Foose Nitrous Wheels but now looking at how the grey ones look. I'm going with the grey. Thanks for posting the pic's.
