Hi there, vizio93.

Nice Shelby you got there. The body looks very well painted.

About your selection of rims, I would suggest to show us what you have in mind, so we can help you deicde.

Cheers,

This is how mine turned out with the Pegasus wheels!!!

Had to lower it to get this rake....

Those Pegasus wheels will look good if you make sure the ride height isn't too high and the wheels don't stick outside the fenders, as the photo of Marco's model above proves.

It will take work, but it will be worth it. You will not like the look if you merely put the Pegasus wheels where Revell engineered the axle stubs to go. The kit is engineered for tall profile tires, and OOB the car sits too high in front (again w/stock tall tires) because the front coilover shocks are too long and force the front hubs and A arms downward, making the front ride height too tall. Cut coils from the top so the struts don't provide that interference and the stock ride height is normal, w/a slight rake to the front. Modify the brake discs to fit the wheels, and modify them to mount further up on the front hubs and rear axle are the easiest ways to get it lower than stock, you can also cut the rear coils a little but not a lot. Then you have to modify the axle retainer stubs on the Pegasus wheels (by removing material from them) as they will be too long and make the wheels stick out.

Good choice of body color, looks very cool!

As for the rims, good luck with them, I think replacing the stock ones with some Pegasus rims is definitely worth it. Here's my GT-H with the same rims like above:

hey guy's thanks alot for telling me about the ride height, i never thought about that. I can get them from my LHS, but i have no idea when ill be able to go. The paint is testors metallic blue. i had to do 2 coats because the first coat was a little to light.

I really like both of your guy's mustangs, they look really sharp, i hope mine will fit in with those two

thanks

That is one cool looking 'stang ! I wished I could find some decent aftermarket rims for my 'stang, but there's none here !

Thank you!

I ordered this set of rims from overseas, so you can try some online shop from the united states if they serve your country and you feel comfortable with ordering online!
