Outstanding job. Car looks great, and of course I like the color. :clap:

I was looking at these very wheels for my own car. I have to ask though, why 8.5" up front?

Thanks man, I was worried about the finish too, but they said they have improved so I got them. What happened to yours?

The silver is flaking off in several areas revealing a black undercoat. The finish is thin in several areas, and they chip/pit very easily. Whatever their process is, the silver just doesn't stick to the black undercoat.

I should have warrantied them, but I kept putting it off until it ran out anyway. I figure once they get bad enough, I'll just have them properly powder coated. As is, I keep touching them up with a silver I mixed up.

I went 8.5 up front because I really like the staggered look on a mustang.

Thanks for replying, Ill let you know how mine hold up with the so called "Improved Finish" .

Your car looks great. I love the white with the dark tinted windows. I have to say those are one of my favorite wheels as well. Really looks sweet on there. At first I thought the wheels were white also. That would be a pain to keep clean but it'd sure look sexy.

Those are huge!!! That spoke design really makes the wheel look huge.

Yes I do agree, since the spoke goes all the way to the lip it makes the wheel look bigger.

Those look fantastic!

Thank you

Thank you, that one pic does make the wheels look white. It is hard enough keeping the silver clean i don't know if I could keep up with white.

Love the look of your car. Its amazing how the Saleen grille transforms the front of the 10-12 Mustang.

The grille is a American Muscle retro, at the time the saleen grille was on back order and wasn't available or I would have bought it.
