HAHA, i noticed that too. Eventhough its not painted underneath. You should take off the kit just to see what it looks like, for kicks and giggles.

Ok...since NONE of you can "figure" out what's wrong..I'll tell you:

Waited 90 minutes for the shop to get the car in to mount. They mounted the tire on the rim, and they "let" me put it back on the car b/c they were backed up, and I couldnt get it on...They were like , etc.

They came to help, and THEY couldnt get it on Turns out that ONE of the rims was packaged wrong..it is made for a "Camaro" (as if). Anyway, got in touch with the seller through Joe, who by the way had NOTHING to do with the packaging... And let me tell you: the service was A-ONE!

He is having a new rim shipped today to receive tomorrow, and sending me a return label for the other.. He even offered to have me go to a shop he deals with about 40 miles from where I was to get the right one put on, but I passed since I had to get back to get my girls from their first day of school. He felt bad and apologized, but I said that "how you correct an issue is more important than the issue happening"...TRULY CLASSY!

Anyway, cant complain about spending $100 more on the REAL THING than Ebay Knock offs...Let's see an Ebay seller give you service like that (if you can even contact them)

Thanks Joe, Dave!

The ONLY reason I dont do that is that there is A LOT of double sided tape on there...It is a PITA to peel it off, and If I put it back, a LOT of work to redo it. If somebody would by the tri's, I can get a little more than 1/2 the $$ needed to repaint the front bumper.

I like them Paul.. You think I made the right choice, give the price range I was looking at (under $1k total, including mnting)?

The shop probably knew it didn't fit before they let you try. LOL j/k That sucks, but at least they corrected their mistake quickly. I had a similar experience with www.fourvalve.com and SPEC when my clutch was damaged when I received it. They were very helpful and I received the replacement the next day. It makes life so much easier when companies actually have helpfull support.

I think it would look perfect with 1/8"-1/4" spacers in the rear. Now, let's see some pics of the front!

You couldnt even tell they were wrong. The mechanic took his calipers and measured the holes at position 1 and 3. there was about a 1/3" larger spacing on the wrong one...
They didnt charge me to "redo" it. (phew)

No trust me these rims are shot my rear passenger chrome is pealing off really bad. I have a set of 17" gt rims the ones that came on the 4.6s waiting for my tires to wear out.

First, the driveway is awesome.

Second, you have to change your sig. The Rebels are no longer there, the Rebels are ON.

Third, get a set of 24" Rebels for the Navi.

Fourth, the car looks awesome! From the few pics you've shown, they are up there as one of my favorite wheels for a Mustang. I'm not a fan on aftermarket on a Mustang to begin with, and these are quite impressive.

You could slap a ET Street or Meaty DR on the Pony rims for track use too.

First: Thanks...It's a lot of work to keep that sucker clean and free of weeds! :OT:

Second: Ill change when ALL are on!

Third: Offered her 20's from Joe..but she passed (fine..Ill save the $$ for a Mustang Mod)

Fourth: appreciate the compliment. Obviously, we dont do things to impress others...only ourselves, but it helps if others like it, and it definitely helps if you impress a "judge" if you are in a car show..

Thanks

Yeah, what he said!

Also, what is the backspacing on those?

Very sweet, one of my favorite wheels.

I used the current tires:

255/40's in the front..They are PERFECTLY flush with the rims.

275/40 back...Very slight hang over ... Could fit 315's when ready.

I had lots to do today, and the weather was crappy..will put some more up on a different thread later.

Rick: We can wait for Joe to chime in for the specs..or you can go to

americanracing.com and look under Rebel (699) for specs
