fitment guidance needed-change from Boss to 2013 GT500?

[four-walling]

Today I ordered the HRE P45S wheels with a brushed silver finished clearcoat. Going with the Laguna Seca factory setup of 9" and 10" wide wheels on the factory 19" diameter. I wanted a "minimalist" style wheel for the car. They will be ready in 4-6 weeks.

The info regarding lowering the car was very helpful. Since the car is not tracked and the height just needs to be dropped a little bit, I will order just springs and an adjustable panhard bar.

I measured the car last night and see the factory setup has the left wheel about 3/16" further out then the right wheel at standard, OEM height. I assume this can be corrected with the adjustable panhard bar.

...have not seen any Mustangs mounted with this wheel, yet...

You sir, are badass. Love those wheels.

 

[ArizonaBOSS]

You haven't seen those wheels on many Mustangs yet because most people that own Mustangs can't afford a set of HRE's.

In for pics.

The HRE headquarters are about a half hour drive from my house in the San Diego area. Their manufacturing plant is located in a "leafy" as opposed to a "gritty" industrial area.

When the vendor told me delivery was 4 to 6 weeks, I asked "are they really that busy?"

The answer was yes. Also, he said there is only one guy at HRE that hand brushes the wheels ordered with that optional feature. Good lord, I hope he doesn't catch the flu.

Depending on the volume of orders for a particular style wheel, HRE will build them in batches and delivery may be quicker.

Those are going to look great and I look forward to seeing them on your car. If they look as good as I think I may have to order the Niche version.

Yes the panhard bar is used to recenter the axle on the car.

Seems to me, you could spend a lot less than that and get virtually the same ugly wheels for your Boss.
Pretty sure Forgestar makes a wheel like that for quite a bit less money.
If price is not an issue, shop around some, there are some truely amazing looking wheels out there.

Nope, ugly like that doesn't come cheap.

And to my eye he found them!

I like the Forgestars but the HRE's are in a different class in looks and construction. But so are the Niche's.

Indeed, I must be too old school, I just cant wrap my head around a lot of the new wheel styles. Most of the ones I see people drooling over, I find truely UUUUUUUUggglyy.

Eye of the beholder I guess. Grats on the new wheels.

Here you go!

Oh yes but she has too many clothes on. ;D

Just ordered the lowering springs, panhard, strut mounts and jounce bumper kit. Want to have the car at the ready when the wheels are done.

...only about 3 to 5 weeks until the wheels arrive...

We of course expect Pictures when you are all done.

For those still interested, the HRE wheels should finish production this week.

I should have them on the Boss next week.

They will be easy to clean Justin.

That's my hot button.

My God that is a lot of money for a set of wheels....I am jealous for sure. They should look fantastic...
