they look great..

i'm actually set on the avarus av1 vercelli wheels.. they're a little different from a lot of the ones on here but i think they'll look pretty good on a mustang. where'd you get em and how much? i found mine online for $2374 with nt555..20x8.5 fr and 20x10.5 rr. also, did you move the tpms sensors?

Also I ordered the Shelby Center caps but they were plastic while the AMR ones are machined Alluminum. Also, they are a completly different design and I don't see how they should even fit. I'm returning them. I've included the pic of the 2 different designs side by side too.

One more thing I'm ticked about. The Rims already have a chip in the paint. Don't know how that happend so soon.

Could you post a close up picture of your wheel and tire. I would like to see how the P265/35/20 tire profile looks. I was planning on going with P255/35/20 in front and P275 in the rear until I found the P275/35/20 cost twice as much. I figure the P265/35/20 would be a good compromise. I just want a little taller tire in the rear to close up the fender gap to make the car look even with the Eibach pro-kit and keep the tires tuck slightly in. Hopefully the 40mm offset will do that. I have a 89 Mustang with staggered tires and even though they are very wide they sit in under the fenders giving it a tubbed look. I hope to get that look with my 07 Mustang.

Does anyone know if 255/55/18 tires will work on all four corners? Salesman said the 55 would be too tall and would hit the strut.

It would be pretty ugly even if it did.

I don't really like the low profile tire(skinny sidewall) I want to cut down on the gap between the top of the tire and the fender well opening, with out having to lower the car. I figured I could do it with a little more tire. I have lowered the rear end , to make the car set level. A little more sidewall might improve the ride also .

This is what I'm doing but powdercoating them black. Sexiest wheel for the S197 Mustang IMO

I know this is a photoshop car. But are there wheels that look like this anywhere around?

Hope this helps a little better. If you need another angle or something let me know. I just got that camera and enjoy playing with it.

Thanks for the pics. I finally got to see what they look like in person with P265 tires at Atlanta FFW this past weekend. As soon as the 40mm offset is available that is what is going on the car. I also got to see the new Roush Roadster 20" wheels which are sweet but at $900 a wheel they can keep them.

Very Nice RIMS

One of the best looking wheels I've seen!

Pretty expensive but worth it!

No problem. I'm glad you got to see them in person. The pics don't really do them justice.

Since this is the main thread for posting wheels I wanted to repost my pictures here for reference purposes. I think these are some of the best looking wheels on the market for the mustang. I got mine at www.wheelreplicas.com

Here is my 2006 Tungsten Mustang with Chrome FR500 wheels (18x9) and 255/45/18 Nitto 555 Tires

I have lowered the car with an Eibach Pro-kit and painted the calipers.

future exterior mods:
Remove antenna, chrome Mustang letters on rear, mold the rear ducktail to the body, and paint the billet grills black. After that, the exterior will be done for a while.
