MAGNETIC S550 MUSTANG Thread

Personally, I'm using the PP wheels for Winter, and will get some lighter/higher performance wheels for Summer.

Thanks for the feedback, guys. I'd consider swapping out the summer tires that come on those black PP wheels, maybe even get the 50 Year PKG wheels they withhold when you order both packages, and put Winter tires on them. I think those rims look awesome with Magnetic.

not sure what you mean by the wheels they withhold when you order both packages. its not like both sets are with the car when it get to the dealer. the performance pack wheels trump the 50 yr AP wheels so it ships with the PP wheels only.

You understood me perfectly! I would like to have the 50 Year Appearance PKG wheels instead. The PP wheels are okay, but I like the others better. It's a shame they don't give you a choice.

What he means is that the price of the package presumably includes the cost of the wheels that you never see because you got upgraded wheels in the PP as well. So, he paid the price of upgraded wheels in the PP as well as the 50th pkg, and only gets one upgraded set of wheels. The only justification for this would be that the price of the 50th pkg isn't affected by the inclusion of the 50th wheels, which seems a bit far fetched to me.

The way they broke up the packages is kinda strange and made it entirely too easy for people to end up having to buy things they didn't want as well as pay for the same things twice. They could have done a much better job with the packages if they were trying to be consumer friendly.

Absolutely agree with what you stated. but this has been discussed already in other threads. it is what it is.

Very nice

Looks great...really changes the look of the car(for the better)...

Sweet looking ride, Velgen. Have the handling characteristics improved? Does the ride quality suffer at all? I like the look; it's a noticeable drop, but not as radical as some I've seen.

I felt when the car was stock height , just felt the car isn't stable " Stiff " as you said , but i can tell you , the drop is perfect and the boat feeling went away. I couldn't be happier.

I believe you. The car looks planted. One of the things I noticed watching videos of the stock car on road courses was a lean in turns and a pronounced bounce after cresting a rise. I can imagine your car sticking to the track like glue.

 

[Velgen]

The Wheels are on. What do you guys think ?

 

[dirty-max]

Looks badass man! I would love to see these wheels black as well someone with photoshop skills go for it

 

[RisingForce]

Those wheels would look better on silver or black mustang imo.

The factory 20's really match Magnetic perfectly if you ask me.

"RisingForce": are you missing your tonneau caps also?
