New wheels and tires now installed!

Okay, here are some pictures of my new tires. They are Boss Motorsports 336 wheels and Toyo Proxes 295/30/R20 and 245/35/R20. Just in time for the mustang car show this weekend!

Nice rims/rubber. I've also got 20" Boss rims and you can't beat them for looks/quality/price. Looks good!

VERY NICE!

I wish I could go with 20".... friction is more important though so I stick with my 18" OEMs

No, I didn't, I forgot to take my camera to his house when i picked up the wheels. He is taking a couple of his cars to the car show on Sunday. Unfortunately the 68 GT 500 is not going to be there, he is taking his 350GT and the new Shelby so I will get some pictures of them along with some other cars there.

Yea, 2 1/2 years of autocrossing has taken it's toll on them. They actually stood up pretty good for the mild abuse they took. I will still use them for autocrossing for the rest of this year and then over the winter I will be getting some proper R compound tires.

Where's the bling? They're very similar to the stock wheels on the Shelby.

Definitely not similar. The GT500 wheels are painted silver, not chrome. As for the bling, they are extremely shiney.

I just personally don't like shiny wheels (chrome)...cop does, and thats all that counts...as for the rest of his car,i think it looks great!
