i was thinking about getting some black saleens for the notch but im undecided if they look good. What do you guys think? Also, I kind of wanted FR500s but dont want to hassle with the back orders. Any suggestions? How do they look?

IMHO! I think all black wheels look like SHIT! If it is going to be a black wheel then I think it looks much much better with some sort of polished lip like the 2nd pic. All black rims just look cheap IMO [patriot]

Posted by 94gt (Member # 3060) on :

I say go chrome, or polished. I dont think black would suit your stang. [patriot]

Posted by 1990Silver5.0 (Member # 6210) on :

The all black saleens look the best. I would rather have chrome but every1 has there own taste so get what you like

Posted by boostin1.8 (Member # 868) on :

FR500's powder coated black with a polished lip [patriot]

Posted by Procharged2Kv6 (Member # 1563) on :

yah man, I think it's TOOO black.. it needs a polished lip.... did u check crossroadz if they have the fr500s???

Posted by 02GeeTee (Member # 5905) on :

SydeWayz, you might want to block out your house #. It'd be a sad day, if your notch got jacked. [Frown]

Posted by SydeWayzSix (Member # 2222) on :

thanks for the heads up...thats not my house though [Big Grin]

I think I'll be getting a set of black w/ polished lip rims. I like the FR500's but not sure about them...getting kind of played out [Frown]

I may go with something a bit different, but I think that color combination is the best. [patriot]

I've never liked black rims either, on any car. Find some nice chrome wheels to put on that bad boy.

Yeah nice chromies would look sick with the two tone scheme you have going.

Could win some car shows with that bad boy. [Whoo Whooooo!]

I dont see how you guys think chrome rims would fit that car so well.... Im sorry but chrome rims are played out and everybody and their mother has them. There is nothing chrome on that car so how is chrome going to make it look better???

Posted by 89point. (Member # 6078) on :

i like the saleens i always said if i get a notch i wanted black ones on there, but i seen a white notch on the black fr500's and it looked hella sick.

Posted by Jdub07 (Member # 2728) on :

All chrome I think there would be to many things going on, to many colors for that car. All black looks good if you get the right rim I think. Black with polished lip is everywhere like already mentioned thus the reason I didn't powder coat my center caps black, but it does still look good so you can't really go wrong there.

Try to think...less is more. Car looks mean though [dance]

Posted by losbadgts (Member # 4394) on :

u should photoshop some of those cobra r dip dish, i think those would look sick on your car.

Posted by Quick 88LX (Member # 1950) on :

I love the "SF Giants" edition. HAHA! That is great!!

Go Giants

And FR500's are sick

yeah...i think you offered them to me, right?

as for the rims, I went with something different. I stuck with teh black with polished lip look, but they're not Fords. They're ADR's and I got a staggered setup. The front has about a 1"-1.5" lip, while the rears have about a 2"-2.5" lip. I'll post a pic of them when I get them installed. I decided to go with these because te guy gave me a great deal, they look good, and they're not very common [Cool]

Posted by SydeWayzSix (Member # 2222) on :

do the ones i got look ricey because of the silver "screws" that go around the edge? That was the only downside about them, although they make them look kind of sporty [Confused]

I liked them because they look somewhat like the Steeda wheels and have a nice lip.

I can also exchange them for these...they have a really deep dish, about 2" in front and 4" in rear. I think they are the black version of what Shaun had on Purplenotch...

Which ones look better??

Posted by SydeWayzSix (Member # 2222) on :

heres a quick photoshop job that I did to get the idea of how they'd look. Tell me what you guys think....

Posted by Procharged2Kv6 (Member # 1563) on :

stick with these ..they look good, unique!

Posted by SydeWayzSix (Member # 2222) on :

ok cool....thanks for the reply bro! I was thinking the same thing: unique [patriot]

Posted by BlackNGold (Member # 655) on :

Yeah, I like the ones with the "screws"...Are they fake screws or are they actually multipiece wheels?...I've seen the new American Racing wheels and even FOOSE has those screws on his wheels...It seems to be the "look" lately...

Posted by SydeWayzSix (Member # 2222) on :

the "screws" are fake [Frown]

ah well

Posted by Jdub07 (Member # 2728) on :

Posted by SydeWayzSix (Member # 2222) on :

i'm glad you guys think I made the right decision. I hope to get them squared away by this afternoon and I should have some new pics up (non-photoshopped) soon [patriot]

Posted by RiddlerGT (Member # 113) on :

I have to say that is one bad ass ride, I love the colors...congrads again on the car and on the rim choice...now keep it locked up tight!

Posted by 92coupe (Member # 1957) on :

have you thought of black chrome? i think that would look real good on the saleens.

I like both i eveen like 03 cobra anniversary wheels but i think if you wanna go 17' some nice 03 cobras would look clean and classy [patriot]

Posted by SydeWayzSix (Member # 2222) on :

NavidR: I didnt buy those rims...I bought the other ones. If you want them, theres a guy from milpitas that sells them.

Heres the pics. I got a good ass deal on some tires (used) and had them mounted and balanced. threw them on the notch and here she sits. Tell me what you guys think...sorry for the crappy pics, it was raining outside and kinda dark in the garage [patriot]

the rears are 9.5" wide and the front are 8.5" wide.

thats basically the reason why I went with them. I could have spent a little more and got some FR500s or deep dish Bullits, but I wanted something out of the ordinary. Dont get me wrong, but FR500s and black Bullits are sick, but I think mine will surprise a few people.

Off the car they seem a bit "ricey" or Euro...but I think they fit right at home when on the car [Wink]

i think that will get done this weekend [Big Grin]

if I paint the calipers silver or black, what color should I paint the rear drum cover? same color?

I was thinking if i paint them all silver, it will look stock, but a lot cleaner...any color suggestions?

I think black will look a little cleaner. Silver would stand out too much, especially with you black rims. Don't forget to paint the rotor hats, and the drums too.

sorry man, not me...didnt even know there was a San carlos airport [Smile]

That MF..is hella clean. gold star for being different and having a clean ass ride. I dig when people step out the mold of the normal stang rims.

Are those spacers in the rear?? thats a thick ass spacer if so.

[ March 10, 2006, 11:40 AM: Message edited by: n8y8 ]

Posted by SydeWayzSix (Member # 2222) on :

Actually, the spacer in the rear looks thick because it blends with the drums [Big Grin]

I am actually only using a 5/16" spacer.

thanks man....no I dont think they come chrome though. they have silver, but not chrome [Frown]

Posted by Jdub07 (Member # 2728) on :

Nice choice in wheels...sets the car apart from the rest...although I think that paint sceme already set that car apart from the rest. The rims are just the 'nail in the coffin' per-say [Big Grin]

Posted by Luke87GT (Member # 21) on :

the rims looks good!

Your brakes on the other hand are the most hideous brakes known to man.

sure thing...sorry about the tiny paint dots...don't know where they came from but I think you can just use your finger nail to chip it off. The mirrow was pulled from a donor car I had.
peace
