I finally pulled the trigger on some new wheels. My original plan was to buy a pair of 10" wide stock replicas off American Muscle and toss on a set of drag radials. The cost was high enough that I thought better of the idea plus I didn't want to kill the handling.

I found a nice looking set of wheels on tire rack. They offered black with a machined lip and silver. After a lot of back and forth I decided on the silver.

19x8 19x9 staggered.

I also ordered a hushpower axleback and Ford K springs.

On a interesting note. I had a Roush supercharger in my cart at American Muscle this morning. I hit submit 3 times and I kept getting an error message so I gave up. LOL Its probably better for my checking accounts sake.

The rtr wheels have a very aggressive offset. My wheels have the same 45mm offset as the stock wheels so the spokes will be flatter and the wheels won't have the poked look.
