Hey All,

I finally got around to getting some wheels and tires, here are some pics:






What do you think? I know the car is dirty but I haven't had time to give her a good wash yet.

I went with 255/35/20's all around. I got the wheels, tires, lug nuts, mounted & balanced with shipping for under $1800 from Tire Rack, not too bad if you ask me.

Thanks for the kind words guys. The next cosmetic mods I am considering are:

CDC Ducktail Spoiler:

Cervini's Window Scoop:

Cervini's Side Scoop:

and Some Type of Rear Black Out Kit:

Do you guys think this combo would look good? Thanks again for your input.

God, I wish I could find these wheels in black. I've seen pictures of them in black, but can't seem to find them anywhere other than shelby performance parts . com.

I do have the stock 17's they are the "Bullitt" style wheels. How much are you willing to pay for a set? They have less then 10,000 miles on them and absolutely no curb rash or anything like that. The also have the stock Pirelli tires 235/55/17 on them. Let me know.

They are American Racing / Shelby wheels. The car is already lowered using Eibach Pro Kit springs, hence the look. If it wasn't lowered, it would look like a 4X4 with 20" wheels. The ride is still great and it handles well. Obviously it doesn't feel stock, but it is far from harsh.

Looks great! Same wheels I put on mine and now I was thinking about the same side scoops you were and the blackout panel so you have my vote on those. Funny thing the other day is kids were walking by and ran up to my car and kept arguing if it was a Cobra or a Shelby...then they took some pictures of themselves with it. Funny how 20" shelby wheels can effect a car

Is that a Shelby GT???

Common questions I get frequently are:
Is that a Shelby GT?
What is Steeda?
Are those stock wheels?
Is that an Eleanor?
Is that a Ford GT?
Gotta love them all!!!

You guys are on the right track as far as adding cosmetic enhancements

Wow. Not to be rude, but make your own thread. 1 or 2 pictures is fine, but if you're going to put up your entire cardomain album, please make your own thread, as this is 01blowngt's "time in the spotlight".

You both have great looking cars guys.

Love that red interior. Of course I have it too with a torch red 2007. We need our own crimson red organization.
