I have the Brembo package and I want to get black wheels. It's tough to find wheels that fit the front brakes. Any suggestions on where to look for black wheels?
And they look great black.11stangGT said:Get urs painted like I did! Cheaper than buying new ones and you don't have to worry if they fit..
Yea I have considered doing that cause try do look nice black! I just need to find a place here in El Paso, TX that will powder coat.11stangGT said:Get urs painted like I did! Cheaper than buying new ones and you don't have to worry if they fit..
My wheels, FRP Cobra R's, are painted black and cleared. Nothing wrong with it to test the idea of black wheels, or a black out panel. Just not my idea of a permanent solution at all... It's heavy, compared to paint. When you add weight to the car, that's bad, even worse when it's the wheels. To each their own, I wouldn't put it on my 6k car, and no way on my 40k car... Just my opinion.Blackcat said:There's nothing wrong with plasti dip it's actually good if u don't like it pill it off try it you will be surprised in the results I have mine done
Really, weight? Come on... if you leave a grocery bag in your car it would make more of a difference...deadsp0t said:My wheels, FRP Cobra R's, are painted black and cleared.

Sorry man, but do it right or don't do it at all. Yeah weight, do a little research on ANY added weight to rotating parts and sprung and un sprung weight. :rollseyes:DaBluedude said:Really, weight? Come on... if you leave a grocery bag in your car it would make more of a difference...
How much did u get charged to paint them?11stangGT said:Get urs painted like I did! Cheaper than buying new ones and you don't have to worry if they fit..
My factory brembos were chipping so was able to get the dealership to repaint them under warranty instead of replacing them..LMNO said:How much did u get charged to paint them?
19's suck for many reasons. I have seen some very tasteful 20" set ups. FastLane has a sweet set up on the owners car(GT500). Like 20x10 up front I think and 20x10 out back looks insanely good.. I'll try to dig up a pic of Melvin's car for ya.Srohda said:AM doesn't really have anything I like that will fit the brembos. This would be much easier w/out the brembos.
Agreed that 19s suck. My car came with 19s and I upgraded to 18s, but if I was going for looks more than performance and ride quality I would have went to 20s.19's suck for many reasons.
