I finally took the plunge and bought new wheels/tires. Shelby Redline 20x10 on the back and 20x8.5 on the front. 275/35/20 & 255/35/20 Nitto 555 tires.

Sweet!

I was curious to see what those look like on somebody's ride. Car is lookin great, are you planning on lowering it? It would look down right mean if you did. The SHR louvers are a nice touch as well.

Looks good bro. I'm thinking of going with 18 inch anthracite in Shelby Redline wheel.

Good job on the Louvers as well.

Yeah, I would love to lower it but I'm afraid of the scraping everywhere. My front bumper is already tore up from driveways.

Will do. I just dropped $500 on rims for my wife's 07 Quest. Nice respectable 16 inchers to replace the boring hub caps. I've been spending so much on mods for the Stang, I had to take a break and get her something to dress up the new mini-van.

I can't wait to get the Redlines though.

No to hijack CJ's thread, but I just ordered my new wheels a few days ago! I see today they took the money out of my acct so hopefully next week I get them, but have to wait until the last payday of the month to get the tires
