FRPP 19" Black Track Pack Wheel pics?
 
Considering these from Late Model Restoration (package with Nitto 555's in a 275) , but would like to see how they look on a 2010 or 2011....hopefully an angle shot. Need to know if the 45 offset has the wheels tucked in too much for my liking. I really like the wheels to fit flush with the body....or as close as possible. Thanks for any help.

You're in luck, kinda. Just received my order from LMR yesterday of my black track pack combo. I am working on getting them on my car this week. I don't have the right tools considering new Mustangs don't have a jack and LMR didn't have the training tool in stock. I will be visiting my dealer to have the new shoes put on. For the mean time, I have a few poor pics of the wheels taken at night when I got them. These wheels look great. The pictures are just awful cause of the flash. Will have pics of them on the car soon.

Lovely. Now just swap the standard running pony center caps in and you'll be golden!

+1, you beat me to it. Those FRPP caps look out of place on those wheels. Can't wait to see them on your car though.

Need some tire black to counter how black the wheels are! I am considering a pair of these to mount drag radials on since I have the factory (grey) 2011 Brembo Package 19's on my car.

+2

you can find the pony tribar center caps on newtakeoff

Can't wait to see them mounted on your car. Did LMR add TPMS before mounting?

Stick 3/10/11 08:13 PM

LMS did put the sensors in the tires. They come mounted and balanced with the TPMS in them. They didn't have the Training tool in stock (back ordered from Ford) so they gave me the choice of taking that off my order and sending everything else. I'm having the wheels put on tomorrow morning. Until then another shot, but during daylight hours...

Those will look amazing. Can you post some shots on an angle so we can see how the wheel offsets look? Thanks!

GRAYPNY 3/11/11 06:44 PM

if those are 2.25 snap on caps I have a set running pony caps that I will sell you shipped for $40. LMK if interested. I have to go to the post office tomorrow anyway.

Re:
 
Finally got them put on today at the Dealer. :D Ran me $108 with install and TPMS training. I don't know if its high or not, but they took care of it and got me running so I'm ecstatic. That was a long 48 hours of having these things sitting around staring at me. I absolutely love them! These are gorgeous. I need to get them cleaned up and some better pictures. I thought the silver cap and the silver lug nuts would bother me more, but not too much so far. Maybe a future change. Definitely turning more heads.

I tried to get the angles requested. If there are more you want, let me know.

@GRAYPNY I am very interested if the offer still stands, just wondering if they are the ones that will fit and if they are the ones I am thinking about. Are these the ones you are talking about? http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/item/M1096A - I do know these fit when I talked to LMR about them.

If they are inside dia. 2.25 inch caps that snap onto the wheel mine will fit. Pm me if you want them.

Stick 3/11/11 09:58 PM

UPDATE: I have noticed the tires are now rubbing under complete turn of the wheel. The inside of the wheel is rubbing against the inside wheel well. Not too happy about. Actually extremely irritated. Going to contact LMS to figure this out.

crescent_wrench 3/12/11 05:00 AM

Hope you get that straightened out. I'm considering these or the RTR's from LMR with 275's all around, so I'll be interested in what you find out. They look AMAZING on your car!

Digital_Synapse 3/12/11 10:11 AM

The RTR wheels are +33 offset, and the Brembo wheels are +42. Assuming Ford went the economical route and just stopped the painting process at the first stage and called them Track pack wheels then these too are +42, not +45. The offset should be behind the spokes.

The RTR wheel can run a slightly wider tire because they are slightly farther out. The difference in offset happens to be the difference in tire width as well. 275 should rub the inside well mounted on a Brembo wheel, not an RTR wheel.

Stick 3/12/11 11:32 AM

Thanks guys. They look great I just wish they didn't rub.

Wish I would have talked with you first Digital. I just assumed everything would be good. What are some of the various solutions? Spacers? New tires? Just trying to explore my options. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

theACE 3/12/11 08:23 PM

Just get you a set of spacers, then the rubbing will go away. I read someone had this same exact problem and solved it by just getting spacers.

pcanno167 8/18/12 09:58 PM

Stick that is a nice set up. I hope your problems are fixed by now. I had to reactivate the tread ask if there is anyone out there that can tell me how best to paint my brembo package wheels. I am considering painting them black but I do not want to the paint to chip or deter.

I am open for any suggestions.
