Here's first pics of my Redfire GT. Special thanks to Adrenilin. His generous, detailed posts made my wheel & tire selection a whole lot easier.

Wow, I watched the SCCA race this past weekend and completely made my mind up that I was getting those rims, and now you come along and just confirm it. Hope you don't mind, but you won't be the only one in Phoenix with those rims, although mine won't be chrome.

Just gorgeous!

Glad you like 'em dude! They're a tad too bling-bling for my tastes but all that matters is that you're happy with the investment!!!

Funny...I expected that. I guess that if bling-bling is OK with the guys racing '05 Mustangs in the Grand-Am Cup, it's OK with me.

BTW...Sorry about the poor photo quality. When it comes to computers, I'm really good at Etch-a Sketch!

There's nothing wrong with a bit of bling. To me the wheels just have too much exposed chrome. It seems to lead the eyes away from the awesome lines of the car. But its all good...

Not bad. I'm not too crazy about that style of wheel on Mustangs, but it doesn't look bad. Just not my thing.

You can tell you have Eibachs....I'm not sure the 18s would look as good on stock springs, but it works here.

Now me....I would have gone to a 19" or maybe even a 20", but then again I like my rims like I like my woman....big and.....oh wait that isn't right.

Nevermind.
