Finally 4 months in the making my new wheels are in!

[50stangpower]

Well it hasn't been a pleasant road but my wheels are finally in and I just had them mounted up. It's a crazy feeling going WOT in first gear on blacktop!

If anyone has any cleaning tips for them it would be appreciated.

Looks damn good! Who makes them? Sizes? Tire sizes?
As far as cleaning goes, I put a Permanon platinum coating on mine when I do the rest of my car. Then I just wash them with the same soap I use for the rest of the car but I use a separate mitt and bucket for just the wheels/tires.

18x5 with 26" fronts. 17x10.5 rear with 305/45-17 ET pro rears. These fit the stock 13/14 brakes. I now have a problem with wheel hop on the street in first gear.. need to sort through that before I brake something.

Great look Brandon! Are you planning to hit the track again in the near future? Mason Dixon has a Friday Test & Tune's scheduled most Fridays throughout July and August.

Yes I would like to for sure. Finally slowing down with helping my buddy and his CS car so maybe some time in the near future. I'd really like to just enjoy it a bit for a little while as well though!

Did the 18x5's require a 1/4" spacer? Also do the oem lugs work with the welds?

 

[50stangpower]

Yes require a spacer. I installed "tuner" lugs but factory probably work.

 

[03terminat0r]

Thanks. I'm going to put them on today cannot remember if i ordered the spacer. Do you know what size lugs? or have a link for the tuner ones just in case oem does not fit

Looks great. What suspension in the rear? Looks like you are lowered a tad but with the fat meats in back it is hard to tell.

1/2-20. The are "GORILLA tuner lugs. I get them from cj pony parts. The have black, red, clear, and blue I believe.

Thanks for the compliment. Full BMR rod end rear suspension with Ford racing blue springs, sits just a little lower then stock but the 28"s raise it back up too.

Do you have any pics of your car with stock height and the wheels? I don't want to lower my stock height and I have the same set up (s71) and have not found anybody with the stock height and that rear wheel setup.

No, always been lowered, not a 4x4 fan.
