do you have any more pictures of these wheels? I found them maybe a year ago and wanted them for my GTO, but they didn't offer the correct offsets...but now the offsets that you are running can work.
Do the spokes curve back a lot creating a "fake" lip, like on the TSW thruxtons? It doesn't look like it on the rear...but I can't tell from the angles of the photos for the fronts. Thanx for your help.
BTW,The car looks great man....so sinister with the black wheels.

The front spokes kind of do that just a touch but I think it's an optical illusion when you look at the front and rear together as the rear's lip is so much bigger. There isn't much curve though and its no "fake lip" look. Those are the only good pictures I have and it seems they just started offering those offsets.
$750 was the total shipped price for the wheels alone. Tires were another $800+.

Ahhh.... that makes sense, because when I was calling on these wheels and asking other members who have them, I was told that they only came in 20 & 35mm offsets. Hence my first post asking you confirm the offsets. Interesting that they now come in 45mm offset but still have the same size dish????

Yeah, fronts are 35mm, rears are 45mm or at Ruff lists them on the online auction I bought them from 35ET and 45ET.
Thanks Tony and thanks to everyone else. Very much appreciated. I got the car and wheels really cleaned up today but now I dont have access to a decent camera so more shots are going to have to wait. Soon though, but the car goes under the knife for the T56 swap next week so it might be a few weeks.

Just to clear it up. They used to not make the 9.5 in 45mm offset, but only 35mm. They have made a lot of changes since their delay of production for the better. So they are made in 45mm for the rears. The fronts still only come in 35mm which works well with the 8.5" wheels.

With the 45mm offset now available, I wonder what the 9.5 front and rear would look like??
Was there some fitment issues with the 35mm 9.5" in the rear, is that why they changed? Do they not make the 35mm 9.5" anymore?

W105, got your PM. Will sent hi-res pics when my internet stops having these slow upload problems. Hopefully tomorrow.
Thanks everyone and thanks to Steve (SJM) too. I know we had talked alot about some Bogarts on this car but I went a different direction with it when I picked up my LX Hatch so this got a new set of street wheels and when the Mustang is at the point where rolling stock is going to be purchased I'll get with you on a setup for the true drag project.

Thanks Tim. I thought very long and very hard on going with black Rebels but ultimately wanted something a little different as I've seen a few cars with black Rebels (although none in the area).
SWEET
