i'm just old i guess, but i like how it looks now better.

Thanks.
I polished the crap out of every one of them.
They had scratches and brake dust all over them.
They look almost new now :)

Tomorrow she's getting a 2013-2014 GT500 2.3 blower installed, along with '13-'14 GT500 56lb injectors, new NGK TR6 spark plugs, and a new CAI.
She's gonna need the traction of those DR's even more than she needs it now.

Awesome, Let us know how it goes!

Call me crazy too, I prefer the OEM rims over the Alcoas. If they weren't so heavy and were just an inch larger out back I would still be rocking them. I'm still pondering just sending a set out to Weldcraft to be widened and dealing with the extra weight. They look soo good.

Oh, you know me by now, I'll definitely post about it, hopefully I'll have pics and video too :biggrin:

How wide can the SVT 18x9.5 rims go? 10.5?

Went to a mustang dyno with my Saleen. 662hp/699tq. Not bad for a Saleen SC.

I've seen 11 with bump stop modification, 10.5 without. I think 10.5 is plenty.

I really like my wheels, and the 20x10 out back only weigh 28 lbs

Honestly, I purchased it as an investment piece. I love E46's but I found out this is a 1 of 4 total made in this configuration and I don't plan on doing much. Probably exhaust, Michelin tires, and Brembo brakes will be about it.... (probably not, but I'll try to keep it limited lol).

Congrats on the brakes, Rick! You beat me to them :)
Maybe I can find some new takeoffs soon, as mine are 10 years old now!
