So far with mine i've just had a ton of thumbs up. I bet these wheels helped a bit in the equation.

Can you reuse the stock TPMS sensors etc or do you have to buy a replacement kit?

Looks like a copy of the HRE P40, which I think is used on the RTR-C. That would make sense.

Shaun, I thought the wheels were staggered. Am I dreaming that?



Oh, and on the subject of light weight wheels, the OZ and BBS wheels will certainly set your wallet back a few bucks. Track only for wheels that expensive.

These RTR's are a great price. You guys should try buying wheels for Sport Trucks. Just call up Alan Budnik and see what a set of 18" wheels will run, not to mention 20"ers.

I have 275/40-19 on all 4 corners. But I chose the widest 275 on the market (not all 275's are the same)
And that is????

What 'strategy' do you guys use for upgrading your rims? I'd like to get some RTRs, but I'm trying to minimize the hassle of installing the new ones, and then selling the existing wheels that will come on the new car.

I saw the RTR car and I think the rear wheels set out too far. The offset is wrong. I like the looks of the wheels but they don't fit as well as my Steeda Spider wheels not even close.

I agree the offset looks a little suspect....why, oh why, would they mess up such a great looking wheel by having them stick out so much?

Hello Guys,

first post on here. Will be getting my 2011 Performanc White GT with the Brembo Brake package. I have already sourced the RTR Wheels but want to look for that sweet body kit. I bet that isn't for sale as a separate item yet right?

Thanks

Not certain but it should be since the kit is going to be offered through dealers.

These are nice looking wheels but they are far too heavy and the offset is not correct for Mustangs. The stock brembo wheels have the proper fitment and are lighter. But the Brembos are not as nice looking, at least not IMHO.

Offset is not correct for Mustangs or not for you? I think Shaun can example that the wheel fitment is just fine. Might clarify because this doesn't make sense, especially since the wheels were built with the Mustang as the intentional host of said wheels.

The Brembo wheels do fit fine and it seems people have a love hate relationship with them.

How much to the stickers weigh?
And, just how much of a difference does wheel weight make anyway? I have seen articles that compared different wheels, with different weights - same tires/car/driver. The result - weight had nothing to do with the times.

This is even more of a "who cares" if it is a street car.

these are pretty much the exact wheels I was looking to get if I got a 2008+ E92 M3. You can find them all over like these pages below
