Chrome wheels on Kona Blue LE??

[Martman GT]

be sure to post lots of pics please! Ive been looking at those in chrome myself

Will do. The wheels are on truck for delivery today. Going to take them to Discount tire to get them installed. I'm going to take the 275/35/20's off my foundry wheels and mount them to the new wheels. I got new TPMS sensors with the wheels so I can mount my factory Pirelli's back on the factory wheels.

Opinions..... you know the old saying. I personally like the wheels and I'm not fond of many of the styles out now.

Perfect!
When are you going to mount the wheels?

:(

i dont think you're going to be happy with them. sorry.

I'm not.... I'm in LOVE WITH THEM!!!!!!!!!!! Woooo Hooooo

As promised, here are some really quick pics I took after the install.

Not for Mart. They look incredibly cheap in MY opinion. You know what they say about opinions though. I love a clean polished/chrome wheel those just look too busy.

All about what you like.

Not my car but I've always loved this C5 Z06 wheel setup.

I realize this is an old thread, but for the life of me I cannot understand why someone would pay the premium price for the LE car and then start swapping off the LE parts, especially the wheels! I love the look of them. Unless one wanted to save the wheels from curb rash and abuse. LE's are beautiful from the factory as delivered. It would be hard to fight off the mod bug if I had one.

Wert?

Well that will teach me to stay at home on muscle relaxers all day and post on the internet! LOL!!!

I guess what I was trying to express was, it would be tough to resist modding an LE, but I would.

I think LE looks best with machined... but that's why we are all different! Here was my old LE with machined wheels. Shelby CS70s. They look good on my current Black GT too.

Yes, please. What sizes?

I didn't know the CS70 would fit so well on the S550. I almost bought a set for my '07 GT500 when I had it. I'm partial to the style since I have MagStars on one of my old cars.

20x9 and 20x10. 255/35 and 285/30. Purchased them as wheel and tire package from AM for my S197. They bolted up nicely to the S550.

The reason we bought this car is because it is kona blue. DIB is nice but I really prefer the kona with all the black flakes in it. Plus, the LE is a fully loaded performance pack Mustang with all the options. I like the way the chrome trim brings back cues of the classic Mustangs. And the two-tone interior really breaks up the darkness of the all black interior.

Any more chrome on kona pictures?

The stock wheels are a decent design but they are too narrow to put 295s. I have these that I bought for our last car. I know they're not chrome but the polished aluminum looks great in the sunlight. I'm really hoping they'll fit. Anybody else put 20" Alcoas on a S550? These look HUGE next to this car!

Thanks. I'm hoping that they will bring out the trim & 5.0. The offsets are:
front: 24mm
rear: 36.7mm
I'm hoping that they don't stick out too far.

Yes, also on CMC. Lots of fun times with that group. Look forward to seeing you at some of the events!

Got finished fitting the wheels after dark. At least I know that they fit without rubbing in either front or back. Just have to get some new tires on the back & we're ready to roll.

My wife likes that we have the Shelby 50 years wheels on the Ford 50 years Mustang. I just like them cuz they're shiny & match the trim on the car.
