see, one mod leads to another, its never ending! Now you need to do something with the brakes now that you can totally see them, lol. Be it bigger brakes, or some fancy rotors with painted calipers.

Yeah, I'm getting some new rotors from Stage3 and painting the calipers red.
Just as soon as the pads are done. Which they don't have much left!

Its a good look with the black wheels and black stripes. Sometimes it really works out with certain combos
Your right about all the amazing cars here.One after another and it keeps getting better.

Thanks for sharing, looks good from what I can see, but try not to take pics in the shade, especially when trying to get a black color in the picture

Yeah...I didn't have the good camera to work with. I usually have access to a Nikon D80, but I couldn't find it, so I just used a cheap little digital camera. The full sunlight overwhelmed it and the flash in the shade didn't really work, either. I don't know why, but I kind of liked the 2nd to last picture so I just threw it in there. I'll post better pics when the other camera is back.

Thanks a lot. Their grip matches the looks, too. It's amazing.

Those wide tires look amazing, but are they practical for a daily driver? Seems like the fenders are just waiting to get messed up from debris or over travel. Did you take a hit on MPG?

I guess I could see practicality if you're supercharged, though.

They are pretty wide. BUT, there is NO rubbing at all, even over big bumps. And I'm in California so they're fine for a daily driver, we don't have weather. Occasionally it rains, but they do just fine. I would have gone with BFGs or Nittos, but I wanted something to really fill the 10" wheel. Nitto has a 295/45/18 that I think is too tall and BFG has a 295/35 that I think is too short. Only falken has the 295/40/18, and its the perfect size. As for the supercharged thing, I'm not...unfortunately. But I drive...well....aggressively, so they are great! Oh, and MPG....maybe 1 or 2? I'm really not sure but not enough for me to regret it

Nice call on the tires. I may go with that tire/size next time around.

I can't recommend them enough. With just a CAI and good suspension, it's almost hard to break them loose from a stop. But that's not to say its impossible.

They're even better in the twisties once they have some heat in them. They let you do things you never knew a mustang could do. They'll be going to Thunder Hill with me soon. But really....get them.

But thats enough of that for this thread, its about wheels, right? Haha PM me if you have any questions.

......get them....

They DO kick up just about anything on the road, but that stickiness also equates to gripping the asphalt. I enjoy mine.
