Thanks for the compliments

I bought mine from a wheel specialist in the UK, but I think (could be wrong!) that they are now an American Muscle exclusive.

They also do a staggered version now, with 20x9 and 20x10, which I would have gone with, if they'd been offered when I was buying.

Nice video on the link, too.

Backed it out of the garage, washed it and then put it back in the garage.

Removed all old wax and detailed it from ground up. Then changed the oil and uploaded a 91 torque tune. Time to call it quits for the day.

Washed it and took it to a weekly car show.
Had quite a Mustang turnout.
My 2 buddies (red '11 GT/CS w/o decals and silver Roushcharged '12) plus 2 other guys that parked with us, plus a few others that I didn't get pics of.

Took my Mustang on it's first long road trip since I got it. It handled awesome. Took the corners in the mountain's 100x better than my Cobalt ever could and did really good on fuel. On 2 tanks, I averaged 25 US MPG! And that is even doing 130 KM/H on the QE2. Hills, mountain roads, and some in town driving. Over 1,500 KM's round trip!

That's a side reflector or blinker to make the car UK compliant. The importers do it upon entry along with some other stuff like the taillights.

Technically, I did this Saturday....

Lauren Renee was a very dirty girl. She was waiting for me in the garage, yearning to be cleaned. I pulled out my pressure washer and filled my foam gun attachment reservoir with Zep Blue Max car wash shampoo. I pulled her out into the street, keeping her a short distance away from the curb. I gently sprayed her with cool water from the garden hose to initially loosen the road grime she accumulated over the last week of driving.

I then hooked up the pressure washer and foamed her body with a thick blanket of cleansing foam. I let the foam remain on her surfaces for a few minutes; while that was going on I filled two buckets. One bucket was a car wash solution of Blue Max and other the other was plain water to rinse the wash media with. I gently cleaned her tire and wheel assemblies, using a Daytona wheel brush in the barrels and a microfiber mitt to clean the tire and wheel surfaces. An older soft brush was used to clean the fender liners. After the wheels were cleaned, I emptied both buckets and made a fresh batch of solution.

With a pair of clean microfiber wash mitts, I applied the wash solution, following the airflow over the curves of her body. I rinsed the car down, then refoamed her and rinsed.

I dried her gently using microfiber waffle wave drying towels, blotting her surfaces gently.

I then drove her around the block to get any water out of her nooks and crannies, blotted any water left on the surface then put her in the paddock for the evening.
