No they were some blowout knockoff brand name wheels called VSR. They are 19x8.5 +35 and 19x9.5 +35. I used the stock 245/45/19s in the front and picked up 2 pzero 275/40/19s for $100 and put them in the rear. They have a nice concave look in the rear. I am prepared for a cracked rim or something because I am not srue how well they are made, but they are as light as stock wheels and were cheap enough to try out!!

Well, can't beat cheap right? Not a bad deal for some good looking wheels. I say they'll do for now...

I agree Bocefus iPhone pics don't do them justice.

Lol I absolutely hear ya on that one. That's the cool thing about spacers though - they make the stock wheels look so much better. Where'd you get yours from?

night and day difference. I bought them from AM. A lesson I learned the hard way, torque them down after 100 miles. Don't torque too hard or else

When my '00 was t-boned, the body shop sent it out to a local tire shop to replace one of the struts. I've never used that shop, as they most deal with big rigs (they're next door to Cummins). Well they thought it would be great to torque my wheels with the impact did the same thing to one of my studs. They popped it out and pressed in a new one, been fine ever since. Those spacers are now on my '03 too.

What suspension are you running? Koni Orange + Sportlines I'm guessing?

That sucks, at least they got you sorted out. I am running Koni Orange, BMR springs, BMR PHB. I havent gotten around to installing the BMR LCAs relo brackets and adj UCA. The parts are in my garage just waiting on the motivation.

Yesterday I added matte black hash stripes. I only added the drivers side because I don't know if I like them or not.

I like the wax it applies very easy, I used a buffer to take it off. It gave the car an almost warm look. Other wax/gloss combos have produced a more glass like appearance. I'm not sure if I will keep using the butter wet for the Mustang. I am researching black specific waxes. Dont get me wrong I like the wax...i just think I can get a deeper look from another CG product. The butter wet worked wonders on the white DD.

I think I might need to clay and just start fresh. I have never clayed before and am a little hesitant to do it. Anyone have any tips on what not to do?

side note The CG Glossworkz soap and Wet Mirror Finish Ultra Slick Gloss Magnifier gave the car a real nice finish. one of my favorite combos to use. if the car is already clean using these 2 products pays for itself after one look.
