calling all BLACK mustangs!

You ran 13.59 with LCA's, exhaust,gears, and short shifter? $hit man...not bad

But honestly, how much slower are they compared to 17's?
I can definitely feel it off the line. Pretty much feel like they're harder to get spinning. I'm getting a set of Drag Radials put on my GF's 15" v6 rims, so we'll see how much they actually affect speed. Wish i could mount her 15's on the front, but i upgraded to 13" brakes, so no dice :(

^^are those 17's or 18's?

Guys if I want 18X9 will I need 275/35/18 or can I go with 40 sidewall? Will 18's rub if I lower it like 1.5" ?

The black FR500's look SICK on that black stang:nice: ! So do the Black bullits...I'm so confused as to what I want now:(

18s. I have 265/35 its not bad and doesnt rub at all. Im looking to sell these and get silver 2000 Cobra Rs.
 
to sum up the saleen question, you wolnt find 17" saleen wheels. at least in over 8 months of looking at wheels i didnt. 18" wheels are the best fit for mustangs, imo of couse. the whole wieght speed thing is very true, but ifs its a dd you might as well run what looks best and get separate track wheels and tires

Your right about getting the DR's/slicks for the track. It's my daily driver...

nice find.. but look how much they are :eek: .. go ebay and look into o.e. wheels if your thinking about any chorme or polished replica mustang style wheel. their quality is very good and the price is unbeatable.. even when compared to americanmuscle with the discount.

do we have a discount with americanmuscle.com/mustangtuning.com????

and i have just got some black FR500 (replicas) for mine, just need tyres!

i have 18*9 for the front and 18*10 for the rear? im hoping they wont rub? or will i need a certain tyre? and will i be able to lower the car ok?

noob questions i know and sorry i took over your thread dude :D

Yeah.. I don't know of any places left that sell smoked taillights, but some places sell tint that you can put on the taillights. Some people on this forum have done that.

Only place I know of is stangmods.com.

They do tint, it is actually sprayed on with a clearcoat type material so it will not fad don't know how much it cost but i'm considering getting my tail and head light done.

i love the all black rims on the black cars. actually, if my rims finish goes down the road, im powdercoating them black. then i will paint my break callipers laser red.

i use ice wax...i like it, it can be a pain to get off somtimes. easy to put on though.:D
