Default bitchin' new wheels. 56k suicide is an option.

Forgive bad pic quality, they're done on my phone.

Yep. I have a MM Torque arm and Panhard bar so getting tail pipes out the back is a little more effort than I wanted plus, I hate the look of visible exhaust. I used to get away with passing as a riced out v6 with the 4.6 and I'd have hondas revving at me all the time but the 5.4 is so loud people just figure it's best not to rev at me. Makes for fewer but more interesting light-to-light races.

Selling to the first person with cash. Also looking at partial trades for anyone with v6 wheels and tires in good shape. My rims aren't perfect but they're straight and 17x9. the tires are all good, 1 is near new, all are 275/40/17. I'm including a 17x8 01 cobra rim with a good 245/45/17 tire as a spare with the set.

I'll take 300 and v6 wheels or 400 straight or any good offer.

I'm also looking for a bumpsteer kit, racing steering wheel and hub, or pretty much anything else.

Let me first say, your car is amazing. That 5.5L you built is probably the most bad *** **** ever. But I do have some suggestions appearance wise. The wheels are awesome, i think they look good with your color. I like the wing, but it doesn't seem to go well with the rest of your car. A Cobra R hood, or a difference front fascia would probably do the trick. If not, I think a Steeda Wing would do the trick as well. It provides the same functionality. Also, i'd take the stickers and "SCT" emblem off. Stickers just aren't my thing. :-). I like the v6 bumper with the dumps, looks clean. Another thing that i hate but i think would go well with your car, is complete emblem removal. You don't got a GT no more! haha.

Otherwise, that **** is balla!

So I can go out and tear up 39 dollar tires instead of 240 dollar tires. Plus... how surprised would you be to roll up on a 03 GT rumbling with LOUD but looking like a V6 with a wing. It's all about picking on peeps that don't pay attention to the details before picking a race.

Thanks for the compliment. There are many way more interesting cars but I'll take the props anyway.

The steeda wing is nowhere near as effective as the R wing. The R wing is nutty aggressive but with my suspension it's great after 80mph. Really settles the car down and makes it a pretty comfy ride. As for the stickers and emblems... well I only use stickers for stuff I use and only for stuff I really like. Besides... if you want contingency money you need contingency stickers.

That **** would be so sick if you got a cobra R hood and bumper.

the R splitter actually sucks *** aerodynamically speaking. The Roush front splitter is much better at its job.

The R hood is too tall for me. It interferes with my visibility but when I do the 4v upgrade in a couple years I'll have little choice.

I'm going to lower it a bit today and give it a bath and take some good pics.

Although your car itself is beautiful (esp with the upgraded brakes stabbing me in the eye) I am not fond of black wheels. Plain Jane.

google? seriously... call up Ken at www.speedconcepts.net and tell him r3dn3ck from Wildhorses sent you, or Call up emilie at American Muscle and tell her the Mustangboards mods told you to call.

Expect to pay about 600 or so for a complete kit with everything in it. I lucked out and got mine as a freebie.

Yeah Codiddy, I put 20s on the stang.

I have 2 other sets of wheels however, to put on or remove at my leisure.

Perhaps you would be interested in putting these 20s on your very overlooked ride?

if you want to make it look better without the huge cost of tires, try just lowering it with a set of Steeda Sport springs and Tokico HP shocks and struts. Then your 17's will fill out those wheel wells and look 10x better. You can even swap some schmo your 20's for a set of deep dish 17's or 18's.

DO NOT FORGET: Bigger wheels and tires = heavier = longer braking distances + slower acceleration
