Is that sweet black GT dropped or no? If no that wheel/tire package fills those wells and flares perfectly. Very nice. Good job!

If you want to hear some of the Corsa Exhaust sounds check out:
http://www.corsaperf.com/audiomenu.htm

or

go straight to the mustang exhaust sound clips towards the bottom of the page:
http://www.corsaperf.com/mustang.htm

Overall sort of the Bassani flavor with a lil SLP LM thrown in but not as obnoxious. Gets very aggressive when you want it to be and comfortable in cabin at crusing/highway speeds.

The wheels and tires got a package deal $1,460 for the whole shebang roughly $130 per wheel and $220 per tire. The new larger wheels and tires in combination with lowering springs make for a slightly rougher, abet better handling ride.

The Corsa Exhaust system was $695 out the door.

Thanks again for all the great comments, they are appreciated ;-)

wheel/tire package from wheelmax.com not too shabby but they sent me wrong lug nuts and tires needed to be rebalanced . . .

I rarely like other people's tastes in wheels, but yours are fantastic!
