Those rims are strange yet I like them.
I would say drop her, smoke the headlights, and call it quits exterior wise.
nice

I don't see anything wrong with those wheels. just polish them up and their good to go
what would be sweet is to have the centers painted to match the car and lower it to take up some of that wheel well

Thx guys! I'm loving the ride...every change i get to drive it I'm on point. I actually like the wheels b/c the main part almost matches the cars color and there isn't any i've seen like it in town. That is the color i wanted too, so i really lucked out w/ the price and miles. WOOT I'm a man obsessed!
-kiljosh - I'm not sure if i'm going to drop it, and i may look in to smoking the lights. How much does that run?
-Chrissy - I say the sig pick before I posted and was like "Sweet someone else has the best color out there!" LOL
-hottcobra - agreed! I need to polish those puppies up for sho!
-n8r - If i can get to the Markuz house the weekend after Christmas, I'll bring her up and show her off.

Atomic Performance - TA Performance, Pro 5.0, SCT, C&L, JLT Cold Air (one of our sponsors BTW...gives a discount to M.E.com members) ... Mustang Parts & Performance - American Muscle (another one of our sponsors I believe)... and also Lethal Performance, Performance Parts for Ford Mustangs, Cobras, Chevy Corvette C6, LS1.
You could check out steela, but their prices run a bit more than normal. AP seems to have some decent prices, and Lethal is always competitive and has great customer service.
EDIT: Here is the thread from Atomic about his discount....$10 off to any evo member... Mustang Evolution Member Discount @ Atomic Performance |

Also, if someone down the line points you to RPM Outlet, avoid them like the plague. Their prices are tempting, but you are playing russian roulette buying anything from them.
