2011 Ingot Silver GT with CS66 wheels

Already posted these pictures on another forum, but I decided I would share here too.

Just purchased some CS66 wheels & tires for my 2011 ingot silver gt. They are 20 x 9 up front and 20 x 10 out back. 255/35 front and 275/35 back, Nitto NT 555s.

I went from the stock 18s to these 20s... needless to say, there is a difference in ride comfort. However it is totally doable, and I've only had them since Monday - I can't even notice anymore.

I'm really stoked about them - they look better in person than in pictures, as with many things.

Going to get tint soon, so one of the attached pictures is a photoshop of what it would like tinted.

Those look really good! For tint, I'd go 72% on the windshield, 50% front sides and 30% rear 3 windows!

Thanks!

I was thinking 20% on all three rear windows, and 30% for the driver and passenger side window. This is based on how my friends race red 2011 GT looks (it looks sick).

I'd really have to debate tinting the front windshield - it would look awesome, but even at 72% I'll get less visibility at night. I'm also thinking it's technically illegal... not that the dark side tint isn't, but I assume that police would be more inclined to ding you for a front windshield tint than anything else.. but don't know.

They're nice wheels, but I think they look too much like those similar stock wheels that come with some the Mustang. I would have gone for a different look personally. They go nicely with your silver paint tho.

I see what you're getting at they are similar..but these look much better than the stock machined/painted type wheel, IMO.

I am also surprised at how much better these wheels look on this body style versus the '05-'09 cars.

Where do you live? My buddy got his new Audi S5 done with 72% on the windshield and 50% on all the other windows. Looks perfect! He also has a glass roof though. It's a perfect darkness that isn't too obvious, but looks smoked.

I think these wheels look better on the 2010+ due to the hips matching the radii of the curves on the spokes...

I'm in Atlanta. Would love to see front windshield tint, though I'm still hesitant about doing that (plus it would cost more $$$).

I ended up getting tinted. Love the look now, and it *really* helps with the sun. I went mostly legal 32% on the front windows and rear quarter windows (here in GA I believe its 32% +- 3%). The back is 20%. In all honesty, it looks really dark with the black cloth interior. Overall, very happy with it.

Smart of you to go without the spoiler. I also have a 2011 GT Ingot Silver spoiler delete. Congrats!

Looks good. Thought about blacking out the roof?

Looks great I am thinking about the CS56's for mine. That parking deck looks familiar... North side hospital?

CS56s do look good. Nope, not Northside hospital; think university.
