GT/CS Wheel Swap

Just recently got these new wheels and haven't gotten any pics of it up yet so here they are. Since I got my car I've always loved the wheels but just think they should have been black on the green car I've got. So with a great deal on a brand new pair from a guy on this site (stangguy1133) I pulled the trigger. Here are some before and after so let me know what you think looks best. No real nice pics or anything yet, just the basic. Enjoy

Also I guess I could throw in my most recent project I felt complimented these new wheels. Painted the calipers to give off a better look behind the new wheels and added a mustang decal the color is like dead on GHIG, I love it.. Don't have day shots yet of the new brakes in daylight as I just put on the wheels tonight but I'll get some. Again, before and after.

Looks good, I myself would love to have the GT/CS wheels over the gray that the Performance Package came with on my SGM. I think I will end up with the 302S Machined/Black wheels on mine though, that way I can put a 275/40/19 tire on.
I don't have pics but I did my Rotors in black also, the silver contrast looks good but I wanted mine to hide.

Thanks! I actually like the PP wheel on ingot silver or SGM, I think it's compliments well but then again black on either of those colors is very cool as well. & I almost did the rotors in black also but last minute decided to go with silver. I love the way it came out on both the caliper and rotor. The rotors really start to look like trash before touching them up.

Good job. Where did you get the Mustang decals? Btw I put black lug nuts on mine and the CS wheels actually looks better.

They are on eBay. I really thought about black lug nuts for a while but thought it might be too much black, do you have a pic of it?

Post more pics once their changed. It'll look even better if you add the matching black side and rear splitters. It'll make the car seem lower too.

Of course I will, do you have the black lugs from AM? 20 bucks sounds cheap but if you say they are nice I'll take your word. & also I plan to add those splitters here soon. There's a long list on this sickness I've got

No, I got the black lug nuts from my mod shop for free when I bought my Vossens. I just didn't feel like taking out the chrome ones when I mounted back ths CS wheels. I was thinking of putting spacers to make them flush but I was advised not to.

Cool thanks, I'll shop around and hopefully get some on there soon

Looks great! I'm glad you did your calipers those colors. Flows very well and is a subtle change!

Thanks krohn and your exactly right, very subtle but steps the look of the car up a lot. Preciate the kudos
