I think that hood is the ****. Looks very aggressive and goes well with that car. Just my opinion.

Just to let everyone know, the rear tires DO rub under hard acceleration so I'm looking at my options there. I do know that 5mm can be taken off the back where it mounts safely as companies do that to this wheel to adjust the offset from +45 to +50 and I'll probably be doing that soon and see how that helps things.

Hope you do that whole thing with changing the offset...I think they stick out a bit too much in the rear. Otherwise...not mad.

Thanks guys!

Btw the passenger side was rubbing under hard accelerating but the drivers side wasn't. I pulled the fender on the passenger side some but it still rubbed slightly. I figured though that with the panhard bar the rear would shift slightly to the right under acceleration so i shifted the rear slightly to the drivers side and no more rubbing

Probably won't anymore since no more rubbing.

I've never heard of this wheel manufacturer before, but I love those wheels! Those colors go great together

Isn't your speedometer significantly off now? According to a tire calculator, it should be 6% off...

And another thing....has anyone seen the silver, unpainted versions on a mustang yet?? I am really considering these wheels.

That's when a tuner comes in handy

oh shi-

you can change the speedo according to the tires?? I thought it was just the rear gear ratio. Wow, one could easily cheat the odometer on these cars...
