Just ordered up my set of Shelby Razors in Gunmetal! They're now discontinued... Gunmetal is almost impossible to find... Black there are a few sets here and there and same with Chrome.
I had to order one wheel from Jegs, 2 from Summit Racing, and found a "display" model on ebay for my 4th one. That display model has a scratch on its face and didn't come with a center cap so I got if for like 60% off the cost of a new one, but its in perfect shape otherwise, never been mounted to a tire.
I plan on using a two caps from my stock Brembo GT wheels on one side, and 2 Shelby caps on the other side for now, until I source that 4th cap somewhere.
I'm excited!!! Wont be ordering tires or mounting them anytime soon though. I want to do my suspension first... 20" wheels on stock suspension would look more 4x4 than the new Explorers given how ridiculously high the car is from factory.

Thanks man! who knows I may wait. $500 for tires, I figured I'd rather put towards the suspension for now. I wasn't planning on doing the wheels for few months, but due to the fact that they're discontinued and I wasn't sure I'd be able to find em' in a few months new (unused) I pulled the trigger.
I'm about a month away from being ready to do the suspension and maybe 2-3 weeks after that to do the tires. So I wont be waiting for TOO long. but yes a while at least. The question now, is do I get a second set of TPMS senors? Or do I have my OEM set broken down and the sensors taken out?
Usually (at least with honda's) I could get a full set of four for $100 on ebay... but when you search Mustang TPMS sensors all kindsa crap comes up because apparently 2010+ models used something different.
Anyone know what the appropriate thing is to search for on ebay to find the right sensors or the 2011?
