Very nice look. I dunno if that lip is polished or cleared but i would wax them a couple times. i had issues with my polished lip on my boss's with water stains.

They are cleared, but I will likely wax them this weekend anyway, as the car was out in the snow on monday. I'd like to keep them pretty for a while.
Of course it's on springs. i know it might look low enough that I just decided to remove them alltogether though.
I had 17" Torq Thrusts on my old GTP years ago, and I waxed them like once a month.
Irony: I've already had this wheel style before.
Double Irony: I felt that the 17's were big back then, now compared to the 20's on the Mustang, 17's are tiny wheels.
As you can see I have a thing for Blue Cars.
I might have my torq thrust centers painted a darker and low gloss or flat grey. These don't feel so retro when the centers are **** near silver, rather than grey.

Nope. Heck, I didn't even get it aligned after I did the suspension. I marked everything when I took it apart, and the tire wear hasn't shown anything is off. Actually, I would like to get under the car this weekend and adjust the rear axle about a 3/8" to the right to get it perfectly centered.

yup.
Genuine American Racing Shelby Torq Thrust M wheels. 20x8.5 up front and 20x10 out back. Tires are the newly released Toyo Proxes 4Plus in 255/35R20 and 295/30R20. I really don't have a want or need to change anything at all appearance wise, just want to make sure stuff is okay, like wheel/tire clearance (possibly change the rear springs if it's going to bottom out)
I'm also glad I chose the anthracite wheels as they don't clash with the stripes.

it looks SO good. Don't change the centers. Looks perfect as is. If you make the centers darker, you will make it look like it's trying too hard to be retro. It looks perfect as is, trust me. The medium silver centers perfectly compliment the white stripes!

I kept the SVTs on my Cobra wheels. I wanted to swap to the tribars, and still might down the road.

so uhh..... 295/30R20's rub on big bumps. So far it's mostly been from the right side of the car.
I guess I'll be prioritizing the switch to Koni dampers sooner than later, and pairing them with Steeda Sports or Ultralites..

Odd it would rub on one side. How's it look side to side, does the panhard bar need a tweek?

it looks like it's off to the right by a miniscule amount. Like an 1/8" of an inch tops. I can tell the left side has rubbed too, but not that much.
