bpmurr Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 I heart the OEM wheels. I can't really tell you if your new ones look good or bad. I need some shots farther back showing the whole car. Regardless it's about what you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justindewoody Posted September 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 I'll get more shots of tomorrow in the daylight. It was getting dark so I ran out of time tonight. I'll post em sometime during the day tomorrow. They are 20x8.5 in the front and 20x10 in the back. The tires are Pirelli P-Zero Nero with 255/35/ZR20 in the front and 305/30/ZR20 in the back. I'm super pleased with how it turned out. And MUCH BETTER TRACTION than those shitty stock tires! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironpeddler Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Those are Ruff racing wheels or the alcoas? They look like the ruff racing wheels that i was looking at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guessed correctly. They are the Ruff Racing Wheels. I saw them in pictures, but pictures don't do them justice. They are friggin' SWEET in person. You would totally love them!

Bababouie Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 No Sir, I Didn't Like It! Just kidding. Not too bad.....spokes too skinny, delicate looking, but do look like Super Snake shoes. These would look better I think... http://www.shelbyperformanceparts.com/User...arge/101222.jpg Just my opinion, but your's is all that matters!

justindewoody Posted September 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 I like them. ---------------- Now playing on MediaMonkey: Metallica - My Friend Of Misery via FoxyTunes Thanks for the compliment. I really like them too. The spokes are actually wider than they look in the pictures, it's just that the very front of each spoke is machined, and the rest of the spoke is black. You can't see the width of the spokes in the pictures. They are really friggin sweet in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inyadreems Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 I like em, can you change the center caps? Maybe insert a Shelby Cobra insignia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbr1000 Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 I think they look great. Looking at your list of Mods I didn't see any suspension changes? Your new wheels look like they fill the wheel well. I've been thinking about doing some of the Mods you have listed...pully and tune from evo. Did you run into any problems with installation and are you happy with the route you went? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burning Blue Star IV Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 I second the "Sad Panda" from Bpmurr. I don't really care for the look - just not doing it for me. Of course it's your car...so what makes you happy is what should be on the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you run into any problems with installation and are you happy with the route you went? Thanks! I think they look great too! No, I have NOT done any suspension changes...yet. But it does seem like the new wheels and tires fill up the wheel well a bit better. But they are just about exactly the same overall diameter as the stock ones. So, it must just be an optical illusion. As far as the mods, I am VERY, VERY pleased with the results. I did all the work myself and it was not particularly complicated, but it was difficult to get the stock pulley off. You gotta put some serious elbow grease into getting that damn thing off. Other than that, easy squeezy. And the results are SERIOUS power and torque gains. You should look into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justindewoody Posted September 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Not too bad but how much did you pay? Are you selling the factory set? If so, what can you get for them? DaFreak I paid $1850.00 drive out for these wheels AND tires. I got a really good deal. I have already sold the stock set for quite a bit more than the new ones cost. Sorry, they are already gone.

SmellSoGood Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 They're growing on me. Maybe if the spokes were a tad bit wider (a little more volume) it would pop more. I'd like to see a distance shot from about 100 ft away. FYI - your garage door looks pretty close to her tail. Do you have a tennis ball hanging to park the car perfectly?

justindewoody Posted September 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Liking em more and more with each pic. Do you get a much better hook up with the tires? DaFreak I just took my nephew and brother and sister in law for a ride around the block, and I was just noticing how much better the hook-up is. It's a night and day difference. Those stock tires suck compared to these. Also, I went with a 305/30/20 in the rear. They are a bit wider and they hook up MUCH BETTER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentIan Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 I think that they do look good on your car, I can really appreciate the appearance improvement in these pictures that you’ve posted today – it was a bit harder to judge with the pictures that you posted yesterday. I think that the match with your car in particular is helped due to the inset color in the spoke matching the black of your vehicle. A small amount of lowering would cement the appearance solidly in the awesome category! Also, I bet those rear brakes look small now! Regarding the performance difference, have you noticed any difference in acceleration due to the larger wheels and tyres? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding the performance difference, have you noticed any difference in acceleration due to the larger wheels and tyres? I agree with everything you said. I need the Baer brakes (front and rear). The big ones. Also, I am definitely gonna put a suspension package on it. Maybe the FRPP package. As far as acceleration, there's no difference cuz the diameter of the tires is exactly the same as the stock ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mach1fever Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 I like em, if you lower it, it would look perfect. Respectfully, Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
