They would look even better if I had gone with my original tire size of 255/40/20 which I will change to when these wear out.
Like everything!! Keep the spoilers off.

Also think your other cars were tastefully done as well

Thanks if I do put a spoiler on there's only one under consideration the RTR flat black alum love the way it looks just like a nascar spoiler only smaller. If I put that one on it will be after I do a brake upgrade so its down the road* I don't think it will be available for a while yet anyway. I would also probally do some kind of side exhaust to go with it and a supercharger or turbo kit. Otherwise the car will stay in its current iteration of spoiler free

This is why I asked about the spacers, you said $675 included center caps and hub centric spacers.

So you're saying there is no spacer between the wheel and the rotor and that's provided by a 20mm offset? Just trying to make sure I have all this straight so if/when I get around to ordering new wheels I can get it to sit where I want it.

Thanks for your input and again, nice car.

^sorry the hub centric spacers are required on our cars with some after market wheels as the actual hubs on our braking systems are a different diameter than other cars. So a hub centric spacer is a small composite ring that just slips on over your disc brakes center hub so that the wheel fits snug to your hub ensuring it doesn't wobble or vibrate. Hope this helps and thanks again for the props
And yes these wheels are not running spacers at all pretty much any offset less than 30mm's in an 8-9" width on the S197 body mustangs is going to be aggressive, which is why you see a lot of guys run the 94-04 offsets which is in the low 20's.
After lowering it I could still go with less offset say 10mm would actually be perfect, so in the future I may do spacers to get them completely flush
I agree on the gt500 look alike spoiler looking good but just like on the 05-09 cars I feel it will get played out so to speak, or another words everyone and their brother will choose it just because its cheap and available.
I would guess after a while the RTR will go that route to which is why I'm only thinking about it currently not commited 100%
edit check out the second and third links below for my 2010's running aggressive offset wheels&lowered

Is this your third 2010/2011 Mustang? I thought you had a White 2010 V6, then a Black 2010 V6, now a Silver 2011 V6? Couldn't you have bought a GT with all that buying and selling?

^those are called headlight splitters btw thanks for the props as for the sound clip I just got back from hilton head and after that 600+mile roundtrip the exhaust has broken in nicely sounding even better but extremely mellow while cruising I think those resonated tips helped a lot on evening out the factory rasp&popping on decel. Anyways if anyone was curious I got 29.4 mpg or I used 14.4 gallons of fuel to go 425 miles at 70-80+mph with the a/c on two people&luggage in car not to mention around 120 of those miles we're actually stop&go in city/town driving not bad ford allthough to be honest my 06 tuned 4.0 got right at 27mpg on the same trip a couple years ago so not as big a difference as I originally thought on the highway. Normal commute I never got much better than 22.5mpg out of the 06 whereas I've averaged over 26mpg with the 11 so it seems to be better in town/traffic mileage wise
Some pics of me/wife/car next to some real american muscle F4C Phantom enjoy*sorry for including my pic guys wife insisted*
