I imported a set of Chrome wheels from the USA for our Mustang

Wha do ya recon.......

17" Rims, 9" wide front with 255 tires, 10.5" on the back with 285 tires. Tires are Z rated American GT which are made by Michelin (Y) , No spacers or rings needed, had to bend back a bracket for the hand brake cable each side but the fit and clear fine. It drives real well with a bit more feel to the steering and that should get even better as they get scrubbed in

Ive waxed them with 4 coats of Gold Class liquid wax inside and out to give them some protection from the winter. Only thing is the Calipers are looking a bit sad..... a job for next year I think

Blue paintwork and shiney wheels work well together Finlay.
It makes the car look lower and longer to me.
