about attachments, I have no idea... but here is a trick that will help you, it just takes a few minutes to set up.

create a new (free) account at blogspot.com, and upload your pics there. then right click the pic you want, and copy the address from 'properties'. come back to your post here and use the img button and paste in the address, and your pic will show up.

hope this helps! here's an example:

mine looks like that too. thats the inevitable mustang design flaw. the rear tires/rims always look smaller than the front. what you can do to aleviate it is go with a 19 or 20 in the rear and a 18 in the front. that usually solves it. or just lower the car in the rear.

I had no problem with mustang tuning. I got my verde bullet rims and lug nuts. Mine worked out fine.

When I called them they talked over top of me speaking and would do nothing about it!

STEER CLEAR of this outfit!!
Any chance you ordered the stuff with an American Express? I have one and whenever stuff like this happens, AMEX is super quick to rectify the situation and get me a credit when its justified which it seems like it is here

FYI....I have not ordered anything from these guys but it so happens one of the guys who works there goes to a game server a freind of mine has set up for some of us older peops that game. Anyway, I am talking with this guy one night and his nick has SVT in it and I ask if it is Ford SVT and he tells me all about him working there and I should go there and I should get a cold air intake for my Mustang. I kinda stopped there with him as I recalled a while back a thread or two about this intake and it being a useless POS. He is a nice guyy and all and I see him now and again but I have decided to refrain from buying things there...a fool and his $$ are soon parted.

my momma say'd I's ain't no ful.

anyway... gots me some kickn tires now!

In the process I found a great local shop that does a ton of the local Corvette club work, very straightforward pleasant guy with great equipment and an excellent reputation. At least now I have a really good local place to get things done.

Here are the revised pics of my baby for comparison:

Nitto NT 555s, 275/40 18s front, 295/45 18s rear

Chris from MustangTuning.com called me this afternoon and was extremely kind and apologetic about what took place.

He offered to take the tires back, even though he didn't have to, and I appreciate that immensely.
However, I did not take him up on that, mainly since I gave the tires to the guy who aqcuired and installed the Nittos for me.
He was so friggin careful and took probably an hour longer to do the work than he quoted, so I didn't mind.
I already have a stack of oem wheels in my shed higher than my head lol, so I didn't need more rubber hanging around anyway.

Nevertheless, Mustang Tuning.com gave me a 10% refund and I got an email confirmation that they sent out new lug nuts.

After talking with Chris (the MT.com owner) I am convinced that they will take steps to keep this from happening in the future, so I accept his apology completely, and I'm satisfied with the results.
As I said before- they ARE impressive wheels, and I'm glad to have them.

So now I apologize to Chris for the tone of the first post in this thread, though I am still very glad this forum is here to support me and you when something like this happens.

I have contacted the Webmaster and requested that the title of this thread be changed to "UPDATED: MustangTuning.com resolves issue"

Good to hear they took care of the problem, and the tires/rims look good now!

Do you think he called cuz he read these threads or it just took him awhile. Just curious. That is awesome though. Something like that would definitely make me be a repeat customer. you gotta wonder about the idiots who don't offer any resolution.
