New wheels

[biminiLX]

Finally got a chance to do a good wash on the car and snap some pics of the new wheels. These are SSR GT1 Integrals that are discontinued, its a forged lightweight wheel. The factory centercaps fit amazingly well and they have 215/45/17 Bridgestones. Enough babbling, here are the pics:








I love the hypercoat silver look on the wheels (better in person than pics), very classy.

Those wheels look "right" on that car. Right rear tire looks like it needs some air ;)

I appreciate that Bob, I am VERY picky on wheels and that was the reason I choose those. I like 5-star wheels and they can be hard to look good with 4-lugs.
I think it needs more sidewall (either 225/45 or 215/50) but I got these for $800 with 3000 miles on them and a receipt for $2000
And I checked the air pressure this weekend during the wash

Nice, now you need some cross-drilled and slotted rotors to complete the look.

Good call, got some H&R springs for it and brackets a guy at Ford made to use Cobra 13" front brakes (I got some Baer slotted/drilled/washed ones on the way) and plan on using a kit to use the front stock rotors on the rear. Probably won't do any of that until next spring though when a brake job is needed, my Mustang is the main money pit this summer :) .
