Quick Pictures With The New Wheels

[NewSpeedSteed]

Finally after waiting all winter I got my wheels and tires on (I was waiting to install my axles before my drag radials just because I feared I'd break something) I had time to take a few pictures- not the best quality but I'll get more this weekend. Enjoy!

[ZEE]

Take some pictures that aren't so close so we can get a good overall picture.

I think you got the veins of the rotors going the wrong direction for best cooling.

This is what I recommend:

i like the 2nd pic the best...sweeeeeeeet offset on them bitches. lmao

[s13kid]

haha thats what I was thinking. At first glance I thought the 2nd picture was for real.

[Domestic Disturbance]

I've never seen the brakes face the other direction. Mine have slotted reliefs and they go the same as his.

When I got em they all came in their own separate boxes with front left, rear left etc labeled on em so I just did what the instructions told me to. LOL I know the pics I tossed up are a tad lame- I was pushed for time and had another project I was working on. I pretty much put the wheels on in the driveway and put it back into the shed I'll get better ones today.

[Domestic Disturbance]

oh btw, wheels look good nate. bring it out next weekend, a gto and I have some work to do.

[FiFdYnUtZ]

looks great!

[stangvortech]

looks good.....

[JacobS]

[NewSpeedSteed]

Thanks man, your gonna have to introduce yourself sometime- I'm horrible with meeting people. I just kinda hang with people I know (in my own 'lil world haha).

[JacobS]

i drive a lumina, its hard to miss when its in the middle of nice cars haha. next time i will for sure though.

[Drifte]

Bad news, I was at the track yesterday and I saw a red mustang just like yours with Im nearly positive the same wheels!

Looks good though.

[TbTalon94]

Was it a cobra Colton? I raced that same guy friday night and he broke something...must have got it fixed. He did have the exact same rims.


Lookin good though!!

[Drifte]

^ he didnt get it fixed, its still sitting in the parking lot.

[96ranger]

looks good man, must be nice to have a new set of wheels i've really been wanting to get a set similar to those for mine(chrome) instead, just haven't scraped up enough money

Thanks man, it is nice... however I waited a long, long time from the time I got the wheels and tires originally to when they got put on. So I think I paid my dues, and I think chrome FR500s would look nice on your car, maybe check out the gunmetal color too? If your looking at wheels and tires check out latemodelrestoration.com thats where I got mine.
Did a quick search and found 2 chrome FR500 wheel and tire pkgs for your car:
http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/whe ... V-386C8912 (http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/wheelpit/kit/REV-386C8912)
I found it odd that they only offer them with 18" wheels but idk.

Looks good Nate, I considered those in various colors cause they are lighter than the 03's, in the end just bought the rear 03 10.5's as it looks mo stock to a noob or leo. Oh btw gotta heat those nittos up pretty good, I gave up on those but they are a fair all around tire and can last a while. I never broke nothing w those on, never got enough traction. You'll see. Adam ran the nittos also, never broke the rear w spray and 28 spline even at the track. 1.8 60ft 12.4's and 12.5's. Be last thing I'd worry about w those tires.

You ever get around to a clutch the spec 2+ be just right. What Jeff's sprayed 4v 420 whp ran. Very smooth and light. 03 cobra oem be ok but man it's 50# of pedal there. Then u need to go to a gym and build up the right leg. Not telling you what to do just from ppl I've talked to and know. Lot of pulley cobra guys use the 2+.
