Well done Andy I think they look great! Wheels are on the list! Get some decent pics up so we can really see how nice they look

 

[avocet]

Very very nice!

 

[MrWolf]

Love project 6g wheels. Good choice

 

[Tacklebury]

Look great, can't wait to see them in the day light.

Awesome wheels. My personal favourite style and suit the S550 perfectly I think (copies of the GT350R wheels obviously, so they should look pretty good!).

If I do get any aftermarket wheels these will be the ones, so I've got a couple of questions. Where did you order them from, Need4Speed? Did they do the custom colour and could you have a gloss/piano black finish if requested (extra cost I assume)? Are they the 10" fronts and 11" rears? I assume the extra rim width effectively goes on the outside of the wheel, removing the need for spacers?

My list of possible mods is getting longer ..... 6G wheels, Michelin rubber, coilovers, two-piece brake discs, Power Pack 3 ...... FFS Ford! just sell me a GT350R - it'll be cheaper!

Hi Mc......in answer to your questions...
1. Ordered from N4S
2. Yes they did the custom colour, and you can have pretty much anything you like...... Mine cost $100 per wheel, but they had to do them twice, as they'd done a brushed finish which wasn't what I ordered....hence the delay...
3. Yep 10"f & 11"r......but you can have 10" all around if you prefer a square set up
4. This wheel has been designed specifically for the 2015 Mustang.....no spacers needed....

Hi Enoch ...

Brilliant, thanks for the information. The Need4Speed website I think only lists 2 colour options so I was wondering how they got that awesome custom colour.
11" rears look good, it's what I'd go for. Have you gone up on the standard tyre sizes (sorry, I can't remember what standard is off the top of my head)? I'm guessing you went for tyre sizes that didn't require speedo recalibration, or did you have to do that also?
You're not a million miles away from me, so I hope to see your car 'in the flesh' one day - it looks fantastic. Manders, how about another 'Midlands Meet' soon, before the autumn?

 

[Enoch]

Yep, up 2 sizes front and rear..... Only been up the road so no chance to check speedo, but according to the online calculator the tyres are 1.75% smaller in diameter, so I can't see any problem

A few more pics and and a bit more info......The ford pressure sensors were reading correct before I got out of my village...(around 1 mile) all I did was a reset, and then drove...

New size on right old size on left...I measured them, and the new tyres are around 40mm wider at the rear

Old and new rears side by side

A poor attempt to show the gold fleck....zoom in and you might see it

No poke

Fat arse....

superb mate. very different for a colour combo but it does look great! The finish on those wheels :love:

 

[Gibbo205]

Would really like to see in the flesh looks like the camera is not doing them justice as they kind of look dull as the camera is not picking up the gold flick in the paint.

Are the front tyres a little stretch? 275 on 10" rim yes?
Rears look spot on but front looks a little stretched but it could also be that tyre fitting paste on the tyre making it look that way. Get some tyre black on them and order some sunshine mate, need to see them with sun hitting them.

That looks feckin' AWESOME, bud! ..... top banana!

Yeah camera isn't really showing them in the best light, will try again when I have a bit of time and a bit of sun....

As for fit, I think they look fine, don't like tyre dressing so it is what it is

Based on this size chart, a 275 on a 10" rim is fine....

The car really looks the business. A genuine original ;)
