rsb5772 Posted November 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 Thanks. I think piano black went well with the kona and the flat went perfect with the sterling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BA500 Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Don't shoot, but I owe it to this board. This is where I found the wheels after all, and a lot of help from others. Hi rsb5772, Just a few questions... 1. What size tires did you go with? 2. Did you have to do any modifying to get them to fit? 3. Are those 20x11 and 20x9? 4. What backspacing etc, did you have to tell them, or did you just say you had a mustang? 5. Did you get to check how much each wheel weighs? Thanks!

rsb5772 Posted November 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Hi rsb5772, Just a few questions... 1. What size tires did you go with? 275/40. 315/35 2. Did you have to do any modifying to get them to fit? Nothing. TXSTIG cut the Bumpstop pads off his, but neither of us are sure if you need to. 3. Are those 20x11 and 20x9? Yes 4. What backspacing etc, did you have to tell them, or did you just say you had a mustang? +40 front and +53 rear offset. I told them that I had seen them on a forum and he knew exactly what I needed. 5. Did you get to check how much each wheel weighs? I didn't check. Wish I had. Thanks!

steve-o-500 Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 where did you buy these wheels from? They look great on your car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsb5772 Posted November 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Thanks. I looked online for them and only found two places that sold them, but both told me it would be a long wait. Contacted Forgestar, and they had one set in stock. Their prices were the same as the others, so, they emailed me an order form, sent it back, and about a week later they were here.

frazierfreud Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 how durable would piano black be on a daily driver. easily chipped? polishing?...like with chrome? nice, by the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsb5772 Posted November 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 wheels look great on your car Thanks how durable would piano black be on a daily driver. easily chipped? polishing?...like with chrome? nice, by the way! I've had my stock wheels on my 4X4 truck powder coated for 5 years now, in gloss black, and they still look like new. They have had a few light scratches from mud and rocks, but they've always buffed out. I use regular car polish on them. Powder coat doesn't really chip, more like peel, but I've never had any problems. I have one small spot in the inner lip on my truck from mounting the tires, but it hasn't gotten any bigger or spread. PC is pretty durable. On a car, as a daily driver, I wouldn't worry about anything but curbs!!! Thanks for the compliment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwcallaway Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Man, love those black shoes. I'm very much considering those for my white/red striped '11 as the "extra" pair. I think the black would look awesome with the white. The Kona Blue 5.0 is what drew me back to considering the Mustang. I drove the 5.0 in the same color myself and really thought hard about getting it. But, I drove the Shelby and figured in for a penny in for a pound. Does anyone see using these on the SVTPP as a winter package as problematic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsb5772 Posted November 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 I would have loved to have gotten the 500, but it's a little more than I can do right now. That's why I didn't drive one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She hates that I put mine in the garage. You did good dude. A really hot car. I personally love the clean look of it. Thanks. I want to get someone to Photoshop red stripes on a pic. I love the Kona/ Red GT500, but not sure if it would look good on the GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
