Big E! Thanks man!

Not much scraping really. It's a very mild drop with these springs, but you do need to be careful pulling into parking spots and out of steep driveways.

The bottom of the Boss splitter will take the impact.

wheels look great!!!! Just for my insight, what is the difference between a drift wheel and a non-drift wheel?

Hahaha. Drift is the name of the wheel.

It's not a wheel made for Drifting specifically.

Looks great! Are these wheels heavier/lighter than the factory 19's?

Sixty pounds each?! That just doesn't sound right to me...

Maybe with the tires on them... I'd guess 32-35 a wheel.

I love the wheels. Just one question, where did you get the "5.0 V8" grille emblem? I'm looking into adding the Saleen grille but I didn't want to get the matching badge.

S197,
Great looking car! What do you think of the black wheels on a DIB 2013 GT?

I ordered mine today with just the stock silver wheels, and I've been thinking of getting the SVE black wheels for it. Will anything else need to be done to the car as far as calibrating the speedo, or do you just bolt on the SVE's and take off?
