When The P51 wheels arrived, I noticed that they felt really light, and the shiny black finish is super sexy. My P51 101RF gloss black wheels are finally installed and set up properly for my build! I went all out here and did 285/35/20 rear and 315/35/20 front Michelin Pilot Supersport tires, and ended up dropping around 6lbs in the front and 11lbs in the rear with these wheels over my previous ones, these weigh 23lbs front and 22lbs in the rear. The result is a much better handling car, and with the offset of +35 front and +50 back, the fitment makes me smile. Huge difference over my previous wheel, which wasn't bad but you could tell it wasn't custom tailored to the mustang (Asanti) like the P51s are.

Unrelated to the wheels though, if you want to use 315/35/20 in the rear, probably a .5" drop spring will be about the lowest you can go without lots of issues. I had to put a 1/4" spring spacer in the rear with my Steeda Ultralites, that Steeda was kind enough to update for me with the longer new cut version. Also, I had to get BMR toe rods to adjust the rear alignment properly. Let me know what you guys think, I was told that this is the lowest it can possibly go without rubbing :headbang::headbang::headbang:

Solid fitment, they look better quality.
How’s the finish quality ?
I’m thinking to get a set soon, but going to be patient this time around.

One of the main reasons I went with a 19x11.5 in the rear was the ability to stick a 335 back there.

The finish impressed me, I didn't know what to expect honestly but see for yourself!

Very nice that rear tire looks very beefy.

Looks great man. Initially I wasn't a huge fan of this design (even on the Ford GT), but it has really grown on me. I think this is a great choice for an attractive, lightweight, and relatively inexpensive wheel.

I had that same feeling about not initially being drawn to these. But after seeing a few mods, I think these wheels can stand out. Either painted calipers or the red center caps that another user put on really make these wheels pop. The price and light weight just add to the allure.

The P51s are one of the best upgrades I’ve done. Low weight and look killer
