What are you running instead?12800 miles and not a problem here on the R wheels. Stuff happens, though and to each their own. I thought about swapping them for a moment but I bought an engineered package, I'd like to drive it that way, or as close to it as possible (minus sport cup 2s!)
Based on your earlier post you mentioned being a collector on a couple of occasions and also brought up a concern with respect to a depreciating value for some of these cars thus I took your response of being more than just a "pseudo collector" but obviously I was wrong on assuming your intentions.
Right at $5,500 total to include replacement OEM TPMS, mounted and balanced with MPSS 4S 325 rears and 305 fronts. One CF wheel only replacement is $4,200 +. The CF wheels don't make an R an R on the commute to work or around town. They make an R an R on the track. I would argue that daily commuting CF wheels is a gross misuse of them for which nothing good can happen. With my set up at home, swapping back to the CF wheels is not a deal. I can do it in under 15 minutes...by myself. If I ever go to C&C or a some other sort of get together, I'll probably swap back. I'd also like to point out that the Signature wheels I got are forged obviously and very light weight and track tested. Not trading in 18 lbs wheels for 30 lbs wheels or anything. There might be a 2 lbs difference per wheel. And the titanium lug nuts from Terrance offset the heavy OEM lug nuts. Lets just say, my R isn't all of the sudden a handling slush bucket.
You sound like me and then this happened
Very well said. Nailed it.
What's your idea of a decent price? Do you like triple yellow?
I like triple yellow a lot but I’d be looking for new. Thanks though!
6k??? Lol much more affordable options for a street wheel. I spent 2k and got tires.
A pseudo collector more accurately describes me. Sometimes there is no rhyme or reason to what I get except they are all mustangs. Something just appeals to me and I go after it. I got my Track Pack 16 when they were really hard to find, it was slightly used. First owner got an R (he posts on here occasionally). I was looking for a Boss at the time and fell across the CL add. I finally got the Boss (LS585 , black) (the black LS appeals to me more) after a deviation with the Bullitt. I wanted a 13 because of the hockey stick stripe and the 70 boss is a car I'd like to own before I die. The Bullitt is just a great all around car, very fun to cruise. I never really consider depreciating value much, these aren't investments, I'd be happy if they just retained their value. I am thinking about an R, got some business deals to get through in the next few weeks before I do anything else. Maybe flip my 350 and 500 and get an R and spend the difference on money down on a terminator. Maybe that triple yellow one will still be available, very sharp.Based on your earlier post you mentioned being a collector on a couple of occasions and also brought up a concern with respect to a depreciating value for some of these cars thus I took your response of being more than just a "pseudo collector" but obviously I was wrong on assuming your intentions.
Aside as to whether you are a collector or not a move from a Track Pack GT350 to an R model in a no brainer if you are truly looking for improved and increased performance based on myself and numerous others on this forum having driven both cars and I think we all agree that the difference between the two cars is significant.
If you get a chance to drive an R in controlled conditions it will not take you very long to understand the significant difference between the two cars.
BTW, what color is your 2013 LS and your chassis number as I have owned a number of 2012/2013 LS's and really like these cars a great deal?
Good luck going forward.
