Re: new wheels

Wheels look great. Did you have to use any spacers?

Re: new wheels

I like the wheels! Rest of the car is sweet too.

You might want to get the springs in before you opt to a bigger rear tire though...just to be sure.

Because the new edge mustang GT's came with a wheel that looked nearly identical to the Torq thrust M.
