looks nice..Those wheels look just like the american racing casino wheels that I have. I have a set of 18s that I was going to install that are brand new and now have decided to sell them for a more "retro" looking wheel..They do look good on the car though...very nice job

That car looks fantastic! Do you find that the side scoops create a huge blindspot though?

slowjoe & 05GT - I didn't want to do this (advertise) and I REALLY don't want to step over the line here but this will be the last time I mention this website (for Brad's info.) www.crossroadzdirect.com

I know the sponsors on this website pay $$$$ to put their businesses up here, so my apologies to all.

That does look sweet. My torch is in for a stripe job and I can't wait to get it back. It's going to be the 3 stripe style but all the way down (painted). Like the wheels as well but I agree, the 20's might be a bit much for this car, but it still looks great. As far as lowering it, I'm not sure what everybody else has run into but I checked with the dealer to see if I had to re-align the wheels after the lowering and here is what he said "Yes, you will need to do an alignment and probably will also need aftermarket camber plates according to Joe Biniak our Service Manager." (Can anybody respond to the service manager's remarks)?

I like the side sill stripes....I would keep um.........breaks up the red and looks great.

I say keep the wheels ans forget the lowering. It sits low allready, and those rims really stand out.

The only rims I would rather have would be the 17" CHROME bullit wheels.......those are a very close 2nd for me!!

Great job!

definately need an alignment. Mine goes in on Tuesday for one. As far as camber plates, I hope not because I have not ordered any.

I say lower it. I love the looks of my car now that it is lowered and it handles a lot better. Sure it is a little stiffer but I can live with that.

Wow Matt, looks great I don't really like side scoops (versus louvers) but yours look really, really good on the car.

Love the tires and rims but......I guess you know what's next.......it's got to be lowered for the ultimate killer look your car deserves.

So good luck with your decision.....I know it's a hard one.

Mark.

Hey Matt - in the end, its what's best for YOU - I sure ain't paying the bills on your car so... (wait.. I'm NOT am I?.. whew... two musdtangs.. that would hurt... )

Do what makes ya happy - end not not liking them, see if ya can trade them in on something different....

Said before I liked that hood scoop and do - just seem to like it mORE and more each time I see it!

Hey pittperson, I'll p.m. you with the info on where to get them. Comes with 3M and adhesive promoter. They didn't come painted had it done for $60.00 at body shop.

Just got them put on today so I really haven't had a chance to see what I can broadside while rollin down the highway.
Any chance you could tell us all?

i think thats the problem with chrome they stand out so much that u end up looking at the rims not the car, i think u shoulda got 19's max but those are pretty sweet
