Today my wife and I did some exploring around uptown Charlotte and got this great picture in front of some street art.

It looks good. I've been waiting since the beginning of May for mine to arrive.

I installed this today

Feels real nice and looks great. A bit of a bitch to install the switches though. I might change the stitch color to black. Gonna live with it for a while before deciding. I also ordered the Ford Performance GT350 strut tower brace.

I had it in my black 19 and loved it but couldn't find it when I bought my 2020 Magnetic Metallic
This is a pic from my 19 Ford bought back from me

What a great passenger! Doesn't talk back, get hungry, or ask to stop for a pee.

I love that steering wheel and really like the red stitching personally. It's nice accent color and goes great with a black interior in a white car. Some people have changed the seat and console stitching color to red with a fabric marker. Here's an example: https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/dye-stitching.74146/#post-1684271

For that kind of price I hope they are forged or at least flow-formed. I looked all over their site and 2018 catalog and no mention of how they make them. Can you shed some light?
Good question, apparently they are made using a proprietary process with either magnesium or aluminum. I know their F- series are flow forged so the classic series might be cast and machined or forged (my guess is cast and machined). Flow forged wheels are still made from a cast wheel and the barrel stretched under heat making them lighter because the material is stretched under heat resulting in a larger wheel using less material. I suspect they are cast and machined as forged would cost at least 2x more if not 3x more.

"Blaque Diamond wheels are made with a proprietary technology developed that parent company Hipnotic Wheels calls ULW, Ultra Lightweight Wheel. This technology results in a wheel that's as much as 25% lighter than a one-piece cast wheel. In spite of their light weight, these wheels are intended to be used on larger passenger cars, bigger SUVS, and performance cars that demand the best combination of strength and light weight."

Looks great. But it feels extremely off to me. The rim isn't round. It is kind of squarish. The outer portion of the rim is pretty flat. Just doesn't feel right to me. I will give it a week to get used to it. If I can't it comes off and am gonna get the GT350 wheel which I was originally looking at

If I end up getting used to the feel of it I will color the wheel stitching black. The factory wheel is black stitched. Although I agree with you that red stitched on black leather interiors look bad ass that would be an awful lot of stitch dying to accomplish

Which company did you buy it from?

Took it to the track! Track Night in America at Heartland Park. Even had my own hype team. Former co-worker and a few of his motorcycle buddies rode out to watch. And my aon with the Camaro came along and took some pics.

I'll try and post some video later.

We're both going back next month to do it again. Had such a good time.
That's awesome!!! I work as a coach for the SCCA TNiA events at Thunderhill in CA. I'm glad you had a great time and would love to see your pix and footage!

Hit up my youtube (link in signature) for some track footage too.
