I already did. They're sharp, to be sure, but just not my cup of tea.

@AttiS550 @bigred90gt Thank you for the photos. They're very helpful and both cars are super clean! :thumbsup: Seeing a nice clear shot of the silver PP wheels on DIB now, I have to admit that they do look too "busy" for my personal taste. There's just far too many spokes in what I'm sure was a...

That's a damned shame about Pirelli. Then again, it's getting tougher every year to buy products that aren't made in China. I will definitely look into Goodyear and Cooper the next time I need tires. I really like the Continental Extreme Contact DW summer tires though, and it does appear that at...

Mid-30's and married in NC. Been with GEICO for a decade now. No accidents, tickets, etc. since 2003. Paying ~$950 total every six months for $300k injury and $50k property on my 2015 GT and my wife's 2014 Jeep Cherokee with $500 deductible. Also have coverage for mechanical breakdown, towing...

:thumbsup: I think charcoal/gunmetal wheels look so good on this color (or any S550 for that matter) because they perfectly match the front chin and side skirts, which are not pitch black themselves, but more of a charcoal. Throw on some carbon fiber parts and/or charcoal stripes and that would...

That would be very helpful, thanks! I also think you'll like the silver stripes on DIB if you go that route. It's not a common color combination on the S550s, so it really draws peoples' attention! I haven't worked with bigwormgraphix.net stripe kits before, but I can say the MMD V Series kit I...

I have the OEM 18x8 wheels and the standard 4-piston brakes. I know for a fact that those wheels will not fit the 6-piston Brembo setup. However, there's several 19" aftermarket wheels that won't fit them either, so it depends.

^Bummer. Make things universal, Ford!

http://www.ford.com/cars/mustang/specifications/ Scroll down just slightly to the Wheels Available section and the info is right there. All the wheel options will be square setups with the exception of the Performance Package, which has 19x9 in the front and 19x9.5 in the back and the GT350/R...

Right before buying my Mustang last fall, I had a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4 with the Off-road Adventure Package, chrome package, heated seats/steering wheel, etc. Its MSRP was almost exactly the same as my S550 at about $38k. The biggest change I had to get used to in the Mustang was the ride...

I totally agree! I absolutely LOVE the ass-end of this car! :love: It's a good thing it looks so nice too, because that's the view most other drivers are accustomed to seeing! :thumbsup:

Interesting. Are there some discrepancies in manufacturing or poor quality control going on at Pirelli? Across a specific line of tires, there shouldn't be such wide-ranging mileage before the end of tread life. Some deviation is expected, like one person getting 16k miles and other getting 18k...

The poll is fairly close, with charcoal/gunmetal edging out silver 17 votes to 11. Thanks to everyone's input, I think I've got it narrowed down to just a few choices now. Still not sure yet on size though. I've got four options in various price ranges for each color, depending on how much I...

At stock suspension height with stock 18's the car does look slightly bubble-like at certain angles. I think after you do some mods though, it'll start to grow on you more. I have the same OEM wheels you do and will be replacing them in the not-too-distant future, but I will say that as soon as...

Well, other people are free to do what they like with their money. That's the beauty of the aftermarket parts marketplace. It has something for everyone! As for me, I'm going to try not to add or swap out any parts on the car that don't provide some sort of function or benefit. A month ago, I...

I could see root beer looking good on an all black Mustang. The other two colors, not really working on a Mustang at all.

This would depend on how the car is driven. I just had my 18x8 OEM wheels/Pirelli tires rotated yesterday for the first time at 10,900 miles and there is a good amount of tread left on them. In fact, 11/64" according to my digital caliper. That's exactly half the original depth of 11/32" and...

The price varies mostly based on the materials used from what I've seen. The Heartthrob H-pipe I bought from americanmuscle.com is made from "aluminized steel" and cost me just $150. By comparison, a full stainless steel H- or X-pipe costs about $100 more depending on the brand, but is less...

Years ago, before everyone carried a cell phone everywhere, I had a tire completely shred on me at 1am on an empty highway while coming home from work. Having a donut spare got be back on the road in under 15 minutes and I made it home safely. I can't imagine how long I would have had to wait...
