Exclamation New wheels!

On my fiance's car.. lol

I have been trying to track down some wheels for a couple of months for Jessi's car and finally found these from a local SVTOA member. I think they make the car looks 100000% better.

That was a picture before I got her the GT skirts, took the rocker stripe off and I just shortened the antenna last week.

Sorry for the Cell pic, but you get the idea! It looks so much better now. We've got some more plans for it in the future, I think we're going to do the billett upper grill with the tri-bar pony on the side also probably going to have my body guy take the door dingers off soon. She wants to do C-pillar louvers and some more little changes. She realizes that it is a V6, so we're going for more asthetics ATM.

The wheels are 18's with basically brand new (less than 1,000 miles) Goodyear Eagle F1's. 285/40/18's on the back and 255/40/18's on the front.

I have to agree 100000% better! The louvers will look great too.

very nice! Follow through with those plans for sure they will work very well with it! I would add those little color matched mirror covers too.

Yep, they're OEM from a buddy that had an '08 GT500!

Thanks guys! I'm not sure about the mirror covers, we'll see. They seem a little bulky in some cases, especially the full covers. Plus, I think the mirrors flow better with the dark tint on the windows.

Nice! Now if you could only remove the door bar and it'll be set. When did you guys paint the skirts?

Car looks a ton better. Just needs a Procharger and it would be a nice and decently quick DD.
