New wheels & springs on 05 convertible (pics)

[Aipaloovik]

I've been trying to find a set of wheels I liked for my vert. And the OE Wheel shop is even in Riverside, right down the street from me. Oh man, I think you just cost me a lot of money.

Nice color choice BTW

Thanks.

Wheels just went on today and I haven't had a chance to get the alignment yet. I'm hoping they can get it aligned without caster / camber plates.

Also, if you look carefully at the pictures you can see that the rear wheels are just a shade closer to the drivers side, so it looks like I'm going to need to get an adjustable panhard to correct that. The Pro-Kit springs dropped it a little more than I expected, but I love the look.

Nice car man

Have you gotten the alignment done yet? If so, how was the camber? I've read several posts where people have stated that they had problems getting the camber in check. I just bought an 05 that had the suspension already done.....and I just happened to notice the other day that (at least to my eye) the camber appears to be a bit extreme on the negative side. So I checked the wear on the inner side of both tires and they are definetly wearing faster than the outer sides. I might have to take it in to a suspension shop...

No, I haven't done the alignment yet. There's a really good alignment shop near me but it's far enough away that I will need to take some time off work to get it done and I just haven't been able to get it over there. I'd better hurry though before I wear out those new tires...

Sorry about that...

Look at the bright side though. You won't have to pay shipping! Of course, you will have to pay tax...

love your stang. I'm planning on getting the same color GT but not a vert. I printed out your pics and they are pinned up in my garage till I get mine.

I like the wheels! Do they sell them w/o the chrome...say a polished or brushed finish?

Sweet! You'll love the car when you get it.

All they offer currently is the chrome finish.

I agree with you though. I think the brushed (just like what is on the GT500 prototype) would look really nice as well.

Very sharp car! I like the drop and I agree that it makes your car look more aggressive. Very nice color choice.
