Sorry to scoop you, but it looks like PAS just posted a photo of your car.....

[svt13]

All I am thinking is that candy red is awesome (I hate myself for not getting it) and those wheels look equally a pain in the ass to clean

Wasn't me... they were up there already.  Just figured it HAD to be his.  Not too many cars that color with ADV.1's I'm guessing.  /ducking

[Mr. Haney]

Yes it is mine. I'll try to get some pictures in a day or two, but I'm swamped with work since I was on the road Mon and Tues and need to play catch up. Be patient

I stopped by PAS on my way home to talk with the owner and Kevin from FlimFlam shot a number of pictures of it. I would have thought he would have also posted the one picture he took of it from the rear, he couldn't believe how it looked with those big rear tires under it. The car looks like it has been mini-tubed to fit that large of a tire under it.

It doesn't bother me if somebody got pics of it on the web before I can. At the moment this is the one and only set of this style/model wheel on a Mustang or GT500 that has been manufactured by ADV, so if you see pictures of this wheel anywhere on the web on a Red Candy car, it will be my car.  The pic Kevin from FlimFlam posted looks more like a teaser photo than anything else, because the complete car with this wheel/tire combo looks very good in person and that picture doesn't do anything for me. Kevin asked me if he could do a photo shoot of the car once it was cleaned up, so you'll probably see more pictures floating around that will look much better than any that I could take in the future. Also since Wheels Boutique had their photographer take many pictures, I would assume it may show up on their website and Facebook page shortly if they have one.

Yes the wheels will be a pain in the butt to clean, but the look of them is priceless.

Do they do brushed finishes?

[dave 316]

cant wait to see full pics. well done, wheels look awesome!!

Yes, they do brushed finishes. In fact these wheels are a brushed finish with a tinted clear coat applied to them. In the sunlight they look different than compared to this photo. In low light or overcast lighting they look grey. This photo was taken with cloud cover obscuring the direct sunlight so the luster of the aluminum didn't show through the tinted clear coat

I see. I'm still debating just selling the alcoas and going with a brushed very light performance wheel like adv1. I don't know yet if I want to go black alcoas or brushed another wheel since it will cost like 1200 dollars apparently to get the alcoas brushed.

I want a wheel color like the hennesey venom gt or lexus LFA which I believe is the brushed finished. It's the same finish on the new super snake wheels.

Are talking about a brushed aluminum with a standard clear coat finish? These are actually more of a milled finish depending on the wheel manufacturer. A brushed finish is when they take the a milled wheel and remove the machine markings from manufacturing it, but not polishing it to a high luster like the Alcoa wheel.

I'm not sure. I guess it is the brushed aluminum finish? It is whatever the new super snake finish wheels are on that candy red 2013 super snake shelby is always showing. Though on the hennessey venom gt the wheels don't shine as much as the shelby wheels it is more of the same thing but without the shine.

[Mr. Haney]

Don't shoot me yet, I didn't have time to clean the car up. I know a number of you are waiting to see the tire ans wheel combo, so I took some pictures, just forgive my very dirty car and wheels























Here is a photo from the ADV.1 website showing the finish when it is clean and in bright sunlight.

[dave 316]
