New wheels, new pix finally!

Well after buying these wheels in January, I finally got some tires put on. The wheels are from Mustang Tuning (American Muscle) and are 18x9, chrome deep dish bullitts. I have to give thanks to Dave (Burke0011) for the inspiration behind these wheels- THANKS DAVE!

The tires are 275/40/18 Nitto 555's on all four corners. I have to say they ride well, have excellent traction, are fairly quiet, and have ZERO vibration, atleast up to 85mph. I love the look on the car...... here are some pix:

Looks great Tom! It was something that I thought your car needed to complete the look. Can't beat chrome bullitts IMO~ Not only does it run good, but looks good!

Like the "meaty" look of the wheel/tire combo.

Thanks alot guys! I appreciate your compliments..... The pictures do the wheels justice, but not so much the tires- the tires look much wider in person than they do in these pix.

Question for you guys- I have lowering springs ordered and should have them on next week, atleast for the rear of the car. I'm thinking about the SSE center foglight grille and a GT500 spoiler for my next (appearance) mods. How do you think they'd look on the car? Would it be too much or would it fit with the theme I've got going?

Thanks for the opinions!

I think that SSE grille and GT500 spoiler would fit right in with your car. But, I could be a little biased...

I think they would look good Tom. I am one step ahead of you as I have a SSE center mount grill in already (V6) but have now got to the GT500 spoiler yet (it's coming did the GT500 rear fascia first). GMTA!

Almost perfect. Needs a shorty antenna desperately.
