'10 wheels on my '09

One thing about the 07-09 GT500's I never liked was the wheels. My son bought these wheels that my buddy took off his 2010 GT500. When my son sold his Mustang I bought the wheels. The right side ones were curbed, so I got them refinished. Decided today to throw them on & I really like them. Especially on a black car. FRPP lowering springs are on the way from AM. I hope to get them on before I park the car for winter.

Yeah, the 10/12 wheels put the 07//09 wheels to shame

I LOVE those wheels. They are very hard to find, and I think they look GREAT!

Well, as far as I'm concerned Mcate, your whole car is incredible, not just the wheels my friend.

Many thanx, guys! Yes, it's amazing how a simple mod can do so much. They've been stacked in the corner of my garage for months. When my son curbed the right side ones he also blew out the R/R tire. I bought a used one with 50%+ tread left from Ebay for $99. Getting the wheels repaired was a bit of a pita. Couldn't get a paint code from Ford, & it took a while to find a place that would color match it. The place that did them did a great job. I'm really happy with them. I'm an old chrome wheel guy from the 70's, but I might just leave these on.

I love these wheels too! They look great on your car. I had to settle for the poor man's version, the cast 18's

I like how in the first picture you can see the old ones being shunned in the back of your garage.

Yeah, I noticed that as well. I didn't plan it that way, sometimes unplanned things have a way of coming out in pictures!

Thanx again! I've tried & tried, but still can't get the AM stem mounted TPMS sensors to train. I even tried letting some air out of the tires, then reinflating them. I called AM to make sure they sent me the right sensors, which they apparently did. To their credit, they told me on the phone yesterday that they'll send me another set if these won't train. And the tire place told me they won't charge me again to swap out the sensors. So it's not going to cost me any more, just the headache. Funny thing is the tire light on my dash isn't even lit.

Update: AM sent new sensors. Got them installed & trained, good-to-go. Tip of my cap goes out to American Muscle. They gladly sent me the new sensors, & set up the return. Excellent customer service as usual. I wish all vendors were like them.
