So the original set of wheels I bought to be my track day set ended up being back ordered for 2 months.
Since I am going to COTA next Friday, this is a problem. So after my wife watched me stress out for 3 days trying to come up with a solution, she told me I could go crazy, budget-wise. So this will be the last big car purchase in a while, but will be totally worth it. I was considering some Forgestar F14's, but the time frame that they would be ready was much too large. So luckily, my buddy had sent me this !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! the other day to tell me he would eventually get these. I hadn't even come across these in my research yet, but they looked pretty legit and Vorshlag has a pretty awesome time attack Mustang. So I called them up to see if they had it some in stock, and placed my order for 4 18x10" flat black ones. I also ordered the tires yesterday, so when those come in I will post up about them as well.

Nice. That's what I want for my Z are 18x10 flat blacks, but I don't have a normal offset/BS so I'll probably have to go with CCWs or something. Are those the D-Force line?

Yup those are D-Force. These are the ones they specifically designed for the Mustang so my offset and everything should be just fine for running 285's.

Yeah, old cars suck sometimes. If I swap out my suspension for 2" coilovers, I'll have a lot more backspace to play with, but as it stands I have about 5.5" and need to run 0mm offset for most wheel sizes. If I do change suspension, the extra backspace would let me run some positive OS wheels and the selection would go up a lot... but the suspension would cost between $1500 and $3000 depending on which I went with and probably not net me much since the car is 90% street, 10% track fun days. It would basically be $3000 that would allow me to have the privileged of having more choice to then spend another $3000 for wheels and tires.
I need a money tree. That is the answer.

You have apparently won the lottery, you lucky bastard.
