Lucy looks like a fast lady, and you definitely put her on a diet and I personally find that attractive , ha! Cool mods with the hood and CF doors, so how much does the lovely lady weigh?

haha thx. my kids name my cars. She weighs about 3700 without me in it. Still a but heavy. Looking at magnesium wheels to reduce unsprung. Can't take out radio, carpet etc for class rules.

Get some lightweight Apex wheels , not magnesium ( fairly fragile yet expensive ) a bunch of us have the flow formed ones.
They are reasonably priced and are designed for track use, are hub centric and have a very unique and impressive warranty if you have an issue. I have had 6 pairs, and will be getting a couple sets next year for my new car.

They often have a " Sale " in the Winter or a group buy. The company often has a " Group Buy " so pay attention to this site and if you want forged they are quite reasonable on those also. Check out sizing on the TMO Forum , as they Sponsor us, and do make sure you do a square set -up.

Apex wheels are the ticket for Mustangs but you are talking 18x11 wheels plus lug nuts and long studs and 315/30/18 tires that is EASY $4000.. i know i almost just bought them but instead i put in 6 new windows upstairs myself lol. Sorry just me feeling sorry for myself.

Just brought it up when you said you were looking at magnesium wheels and true mag wheels are mega expensive ---now I realize you were just looking at some out your new windows so I understand now, ha,ha!

Price difference for the APEX forged and the forged magnesium 19x11 is quite a bit but the magnesiums weigh 5-6 lbs less each. Litespeed has the same warranty as APEX. Figure gonna try magnesium. The top racers i race with all have rm and been racing with them for years with no issues
