Just got some Axis wheels for my 5.0!!

Picked them up earlier, took a few mustang friends and Dreamtheory came to check them out too. Looked all over the web for some reverbs in black 18x9.5 and they are out of stock everywhere. only found grey ones. then i just randomly searched on craigslist for them and wouldnt you know theres a perfect set just for me! they guy wanted $1200 but I got them for $1000 even. So happy I got these wheels. Now I just need the hood, ducktail spoiler, and a few little things and paint and the 2011 will look the part to be the recreation of my last Mustang(the edmunds.com/insideline 2005 project mustang)

the 2005 Mustang I am basing the 2011 on:


and the wheels!

hollow spokes

the spokes are hollow so they come with plugs to keep stuff out of the spokes. you can take them out whenever

i had the 05 they built

They sold it to a guy up in fresno and he had it for a few years. He sold it to a guy in lakewood and he had it for about half a year and then I bought it from him. I kept it for a year and sold it to a guy from Eureka who then moved back to Finland and had the car shipped back with him.

I loved the 05 so I want to do a recreation. I talked to Edmunds at a meet and greet at the Irvine cars & coffee and they seemed pretty excited I was gunna be doing the project over again. they said they want to do a story on it once i am finished

Do you have a brand or model in mind. There is an endless amount of tire marks out there but if you narrow it down it will make it easier and Ill call you from there.

well i like the BFG KDs but they probably wont have them.

see if they have the goodyear eagle F1 GS-D3 285/35ZR18. found them kinda cheap on tirerack so if they can beat it then that would be great
