I have the same color Stang. I was thinking I'd need the silver Bathurst for the contrast, but the gunmetal looks real good.

I'm still curious to see the silver.

Hear hear, get some silver ones and put it on a Magnetic.

Yes sir however doesnt hurt to reweigh them since we have them in the shop for a mustang were getting setup for.

Absolutely. Weigh all the things!

I was initially going with TSW's but didn't want to wait. I found the Stance SC-1's that look similar and with the Brushed Titanium I couldn't pass up.

These do look spectacular on your Guard! Great choice.

Yeah, that was my second choice, if the TSW didn't look good I was going to have them install the SC1's. TSW a little lighter, but both nice looking wheels.

These look fantastic! Could you please post some pics of how flush (or not flush) the wheels are with the fenders (both front and back)? The third pic you posted makes it look like the rear is relatively flush, but the front is an inch or so inset. Closeup pictures will help see it better.

Thanks in advance!

The rears are pretty much flush, without rubbing. I went with 275 out back for now, but plan on running 285 or 295 when these wear out, so those will be very close with this +40 offset.

The fronts are not as flush as the rears, 5mm more would make them about the same, but I"m ok with it, I'll probably go 265/35/20 Michelin PSS later, so it would be nice to know that there is turning clearance.

Plus I haven't had the car aligned yet, I know there is a bit of neg camber on both front and rear, although it may just be about right for increased handling. I'll get that checked out in the next couple of weeks.

It's been raining here lately, but here is a quick pic of the front.

Compared to the PP wheels, these are pushed 15mm further out with the +30et.

Not entirely accurate, but just a quick Photoshop to give you an idea

You made an excellent choice! These TSW's look amazing on your Magnetic Beauty!

Thanks. Did you consider this color? From the pics, it looks good. Just not sure if it will look 'too chrome' (silver with mirror cut face).

Your pics of the gunmetal do look nice on the magnetic.

Sometimes not too flush in the front is a good thing. I know people usually like the perfect flush look, but the kick up rocks from the stick out tire will end up scratch the paint, especially when the car is wider in the rear. Rear is not a big deal since at worst case it will only scratch the plastic bumper, but front it could scratch the whole side.

Awesome wheels, love your car... I'd like to see these on a black car.

If the wheel fell over face down, would the spokes hit the ground?

If the wheel fell over face down, would the spokes hit the ground?

pretty sure it will, because the spoke actually are taller than the lip, and extended all the way to the outside of the lip, which makes the TSW wheel looks bigger than the same size wheel. I think visually from a distance the wheel looks a inch larger than the actual size. It also gives more concave, which is a really cool and unique design.

I'm excited about how light the TSW's are - I can buy these instead of HRE's now and save a ton of money.

Fantastic pic and info, thanks again! I think I want to run 285's all around (square setup for track/HPDE days) and possibly stick to 19" wheels, so my setup won't be exactly the same as yours.

I like your decision to go with the gunmetal. Not TOO much contrast.
