Quick shot with my phone.. it sucks as a camera.




bad news is one of them, the one for the drivers side front was the wrong bolt pattern. 50resto is shipping me a new one.

I am drooling. Seriously, this makes me want to go out and buy my stupid tires and TPMS now, but it just hasn't been in the budget the last few months. Sorry about the one wheel.

What brand and size tires did you go with front and back? I really love how yours looks on the K-Springs. I also have those, but I've noticed they seem to make the car look a little more laid out than coupes due to the extra convertible weight.

This excites me.

I bought mine from 50resto, they came with Nitto 555s 255-35/20s in the front and 275-35/20 in the rear.

I know a lot of people like 20's these days but to me they are out of balance with too much wheel and not enough rubber. Too ghetto. IMO

Finally, we agree on something.

I love that color. I always think it's black when I first see it. Then it 'sets in'

Sorry to derail topic My apologies

Coming from a 2001 with deep dish Bullitt rims, I don't think the 2010+ body style lends itself well to that rim, or any deep lip/dish. The new edge however really rocks a deep dish type of rim.

I love the Deep dish TT rims. I run 18x10s because that's what I could swing.

However, Those 20s look great though.

unfortunately for me, none would clear the big Brembos except for the 20's. :-(

Wheel sticks out a hair, you sure you got the panhard centered? Wheels look PERFECT and now I'm excited to get mine on, but now I wonder if I should REMOVE my white side stripes and leave the body ones on. We'll see.

Also can you take a picture of the brake clearance up front? Just curious if one could run a square setup..

But it does confirm to me that I need to/should run 295's or 305's out back.

For what you went through to get those stripes... You better leave them on. Lol

About the same is sticking out on both sides..

and yes the wheels could use some wider tires on the back. they almost look like they aren't wide enough.. lol

Heres the clearance. Way more than the Brembo wheels have.
