Looks good. I know once my 295's wear out, I'll be switching to 275's. the 295's are too often rubbing.

Looks great Gabe. I am patiently waiting to catch up to the mods you have done. Suspension specifically. Enjoy that awesome looking ride brother. I can't wait to get back to mine and get on the road. I am on vacation back in the states with the family who also miss the Mustang.

Thanks Steve ... I think I'm done now for a while, rims were the last thing that "needed" to be done

Enjoy the vacation man!

Thanks and yeah they're asymmetrical, different tires for the left and for the right ... I like them so far, looking forward to the next 100-200 miles to go by so they'll be broken-in ...

Your wheels look amazing. I'm going to be on the look out for a set like that in 19 inch. Really goes great with Sterling Gray. I'm also a a fan of the Torq Thrust M wheels to.

Thanks ... I wanted the 19's originally, but ended up with a steal of a deal on these 18's and am very happy with them.
The 19's are about $450 each, new.

Finally got it dyno'd today, running a Bama 93-octane "hybrid" tune.

Tuner looked at the tune and didn't want to go for higher numbers since it was at the limit of safety, so we stopped there.

Ran it twice, first numbers 388/369 are in the video below, the second run was 390/370 ...
