Wheels are everything, its like you can a nice suit and some fugged up azz shoes it messes the whole outfit up.. Ijs

I'm just saying I haven't seen many people with stupidly expensive wheels on here. I'm all for affordable wheels, it was just a remark. I just know that import guys like to spend more on wheels than most guys on here, as far as i know.

Fuck you ass hole!! Im not talking about 22's only bitches I mean wheels in general, wheel can make or kill a car thats why we buy them cause they look good. we all have our likes and dislikes, as always you have some bitch ass wanna attack you for voicing a opinion. I like good looking cars because to me most cars are not fast when you ride a 8.5 second motorcycle with a top speed of 221MPH. I like my kit wheels and my Mustang I paid cash for, Some of you guys are some real bitches and I don't hide behind a PC to insult someone for a opinion.. l will be at Mustang and MRT's open house if your local and have a problem that needs to be dealt with in person.. :kma:

Car has a nice stance and like the gold on black.

It's not that it's limited on the 19, it's that people don't want to pay a ton of money for non-mass produced wheels. Also, if you thinka bout it, there aren't even that many wheel designs to begin with that look all that different.

A mesh style looks like any other mesh style if you dont look carefully. a 5 spoke will be a 5 spoke, so on and so forth. On top of that, the fitment sucks on the mustang, we have to run high offsets.

You nailed it with this one!!!!

Wouldn't necessarily say fitment "sucks", just difficult. Lol! It takes a lot of time and effort to find the right setup. Then wheel selection becomes a bit more limited. I've been down that road... Ended up going with a custom offset wheel which might look like another 5 spoke but i'm really happy with the results and is totally worth it!

All that said, It is easier and cheaper when one can just buy mass produced wheels (typically not 19s anyway) with an offset that is made for our cars... That's probably why you see a lot of the same wheels. Having different wheels from the next guy just isn't important to everyone...

Now let's see more pics!

Will post mine when I get them back from powder coating. Hopefully tomorrow have not able to drive the car for a week now and it is killing me.

Those look really nice, but I'm still not convinced that a TRUE real coilover is needed on this car. Putting all that pressure on a shock mount that isn't made for it just doesnt sit right with me

A true coilover does have its benefits, however I agree with you that putting all the force on something that was only intended to be a shock mount doesn't sit well with me..
In fact, it doesn't sit well with racers either....if you look in the back of a race prepped mustang (specifically a Boss 302S) that has real coilovers....you'll see this....

Yep, I think the Saleen Heritage wheels are a really classic look. I picked up my set when Saleen had their fire sale after the bankruptcy. They only had a few sets of the Gurney Edition wheels and I figured they would be a unique wheel to get. Other than my car, I have only seen a picture of one other non-Saleen Mustang with the Gurney Edition wheels.

Well, how about I make that 2 pictures? :rock:

I happen to agree with you...when I saw the Dan Gurney car for the first time (saw it on a show room floor) I fell in love with these wheels....Better pics in the future, but for now

Setup:
factory "Brembo" lift kit
19x9 all around, running the stock 255/40 Pirelli's....going to 275/40 next...

Have any better pics from the side profile? Hows the ride with those springs?

Looks really nice from that angle.


I'll take a picture of the side profile tomorrow and upload it. The ride is significantly improved and overall looks way better.
