New wheels for my car and my DD

[blacknblue2002]

I just received these on the porch today...pretty pleased w/ the 305's...just got to get some decent center caps to replace the 'cobra' ones that they came with...sorry about all the crappy photos...I got excited and rushed it:

And for those who don't already know...I've been sluggish on the mustang work for the past year...been getting my daily driver looking a little different from stock...but I'm pretty sure I don't wanna mod the jeep anymore because it has to get me to work every day...but it is nice to take to the mountains or out on the beach every once in a while...(and I wonder where my money goes???)

Nice . What was wrong with your old rims?

 

[blacknblue2002]

sold them in preperation to sell my car.......shortly after I realized it was a big mistake....I love my car, and if I sold it, I'd just buy something else to pour money into (probably a cobra)...so I made an executive decision and decided to keep the car and just start driving it more (only put 15K on it in 4 yrs)

quick update here...put the new wheels on the car last night....needless to say I was happy w/ the fit...the tires come out to the edge of the fenders at all four corners...may have to put some spacers on the front but not sure yet....I'll roll the car out of the garage tonight and snap some quick photos

trublue your car is sooo sexy btw.... but yea i wanna see pics asap.. his car looked good with the black saleens but im sure black bullitts would look sex. There is someone in my area who might want to trade me saleens for his bullitts.

***As promised...here's some pics of the last couple days' progress...I appologize for the crappy quality (camera battery was dying and it was raining)

To get things off...my border collie was very happy to see the MM coilovers go back on the car...they'd been sitting in the garage near his food dishes for a couple of months:

Here's a quick picture of the side view of the front wheels...very pleased w/ the 1" lip:

Here's a shot from the front...rain was starting to get harder so the quality is getting worse:

And the final shot from the rear angle...car is dirtyer than ever, but I'll fix that before the weekend is through:

after a good wash I'll snap new photos...then I have to get the suspension dialed in again and fix my throttle response problems before I shred into the new drag radials

only other appearance mods for the car will be black/silver '281' badges for the sides, and possibly tint overlays for the tail lights and black vinyl for the center of the decklid.
