Those wheels look great. The black was definitely the way to go.

I like how these wheels are offset more so the tires are closer to the edge of the fenders. They are also enough room between the spokes to 'hand wash' the inside of the wheels with them still on the Mustang.

Also: Ken did you say i could use two of your new wheels and tires to do some performance test? Or did i dream this

They're just wider. The wheels still have very high offsets. I really don't understand why manufacturers design their cars/wheels with such wimpy looking offsets. Why don't they push the wheels out more, which makes the car look so much more aggressive??

The front 19x9s are exactly the same size and offset as the Track Pack 19s, the rear 19x10s are like +51...the fronts should be at least +35, if not +30, and the rears at least +40 if not +35. The Mustang wheel wells can easily accommodate this.

I agree...they really compliment the SGM. I toyed with the idea of replacing my Boss wheels with GT500 wheels, but I decided to hold off. I think I want a fat square set-up but can't justify tires now. I'd stay with 19" and go 10" wide.

Besides, I really like the way my Boss wheels look.

They actually do stick out almost 1/2 inch (12m), looks a bunch better than the 50mm offset 8.5

Thanks. It's dropped 1" and think that helps. I hope to have silver stripes on it soon and I'm anxious to see how that ties together. Also have a GT500 style spoiler in the wings (pun intended) and that will hopefully make it appear more aggressive.

I love the yellow fogs, but I'm biased haha. Does NJ have any custom plates that aren't **** golden yellow though? I hate the standard NJ plates - really ruins the cleanliness of the car, especially with the front plate. When you do the stripes, you should look into the hidden front plate mounts that flip up. Not that you have much room from your driveway, but that front plate is just yucky! Hey, CA has the stupid front plate law too, but I'm taking it off again when the new lip is on. Idk if I'm even going to be able to make it up my driveway once I get the Roush chin and coilovers on lol. If not, I'll save up for airbags and sell the coilovers

The fogs are that crappy yellow film. They look good from 5' away, pretty poor any closer.

NJ is pretty boring with it's plates. And I'm not tempting fate with the driveway. I still want to look into personalized plates and maybe they'll detract from the ugly.

I'd like to do the first one, or some variation of, but the second one is a possibility too....

Haha I like both. But NJ doesn't have any other plates available than the standard color? Texas has the best plates IMO. Check out Lamin-X - they make really thick, high quality tint. I've bought a lot of cheap tints, trying to find that golden yellow/amber tint, but haven't found it, so I'm probably going to have the body shop mix me a custom clear coat with some orange and yellow mixed in until it's just right for me.

I want the lights to look like this Jeep GC concept...

We have specialty plates...USS New Jersey, Jersey Shore, and some lib-tard hug-a-whale kinda stuff, but they're all on the cream colored background.

Here's two for you....

Its more of a **** stain yellow, and on top of that they're so poorly made that the yellow fades and the black chips off.

And the new ones like mine aren't even raised letters anymore...they're just printed on. I guess it's easier for the convicts to make them that way.

I just stick with my American Eagle Plate

Tennessee does have a couple of cool plates other than that one also.
