Conversation Between meenstang and 06GREYPONY

Good news Dale,

I found the 18x10s for you and the have the 18x9 as well.
This company is very good, I have purchased many parts from them.
Let me know if this what you were looking for.

I think these wheels are sharp!

Thanks, did you see the pic of my car I found with the FR's on it when the previous owner had it? I have it on my profile. They are 18x9 front, and 18x10 rear Hypercoated. I think I want to stay with the 17's though so I don't have to go to a 35 series tire. Tell me your thoughts.

Hi Dale,

Thats a good question, I have to look into that to be honest.
Let me do some research on it and get back to you.

Hey 06, meenstang here. I have a wheel tech question for you. I like the FR500's, and I found a pic. of my car when the previous owner had it with them on it. I'm thinking of buying 17x9 front, and I would like to have 17x10 rear. Well, as you probably already know, they do not offer 17x10, but they do offer 17x10.5. I like that idea, but they say the 17x10.5 will not work on IRS cars. I know I have seen pics with Cobras having the 10.5 on them. Do you know what you have to do to get them to work on my car?
Thanks,
Dale

Thanks Kaz. Sorry for getting back to you so late. This guy has definitely done some good looking stuff, but yours is the best looking car on his site. I like the 10th Ann. wheels too, but the don't have any depth to them. One of the wheels I'm considering is the American Racing Killer in the Dale Earnhart editions. I'd like to do 18x10 rear, and 18x9 front. Also looking at the American Racing Razor. I have a friend who has an 07 Shelby, and he has put the chrome Shelby Razors on it. He is not completey satisfied with the look, so he is thinking about putting the Anthracite razors on it. He is trying to give me a heck of a deal on the chrome ones, but I don't want to put a wheel that has Shelby engraved into it on a non Shelby car. I think that is bad taste. I'll probably contact this guy you have put me onto. Thanks again, and Merry Christmas, & Happy New Year.

Hi Dale,
Your Stang looks great too.
Thats awsome that your brother is doing that classic, man I love the 65-68 years, I picked up a 68 coupe about 2 months ago, check out the pics they are in my gallery. Cant wait to see your brothers.

As far as your wheels go, to be honest I love the ones you have on there now, but if you want to go with something aftermarket, go with a set of 18" or 19" wheels, make sure to get a staggered fit, the best look.

I got the wheels that i have on my 06 from a guy in CA, picked up a set of 20" with tires, mounted, balanced, ready to just be put on the car. the guy is great, knows his wheels and has done alot of cars and will giude you the best. Below is a link to his ebay store, you can see some of his work, my car is in the as well, best way is to do it is what i did, give him a call, give him your car info and he will find you something to your liking for sure. His seletion is huge, it just depends on your budget. I got my set for little under $3000 shipped to my door.

Let me know how it goes if it does not work out w him, we'll look for another source.

Kaz.

Hey GreyPony, I'm thinking about putting a set of wheels on my Cobra this spring. Do you have any suggestions, or pics of any Cobra's with custom wheels? Your car looks great. Also, wanted to let you know my brother is having a 65 fastback 289 restored. Car only has 34,000 original miles on it, and he has all the documentation too. As soon as I get some pics of it I'll be posting them. Give me some suggestions on wheels if you have any.
