[@rayrodriguez4653]

Very good videos Tim, now time for me to do mine..

[@ShelbyFlyer]

Thanks Ray! Good luck bud!

[@ceaserthemighty]

I remember Larry talking about finding a set of those wheels at lunch. I’m glad he got around to installing them.

[@ShelbyFlyer]

I had no idea how involved the project was when I volunteered my time and garage! 😬😆

[@ceaserthemighty]

@@ShelbyFlyer you’re a good friend! Now when are you free for an oil change LOL! I have to fill you in on my 22 order through the forum!

[@ShelbyFlyer]

@@ceaserthemighty If you are local, you are welcome to come over. Oil changes are quick!

[@hbuzgon9557]

You do not have to add any high temp grease.....Anti Seize Glue??? Harold !!! Great Channel

[@ShelbyFlyer]

We added some Loctite to bolts, but no grease required.

[@maintenancethrottle]

Awesome project! You guys won the battle. Wheels look awesome! Have fun at COTA!

This is very cool. I had no idea, you had to do that for CF wheels. I'm looking to get a 2022 GT500 this summer - end of year and can't wait to join the club. Are you in Texas too? I'm in the Houston area. Thanks for all of your videos. They're very informative.

[@ShelbyFlyer]

Thanks Robert & good luck on your GT500! I am in the DFW area.

[@show1877]

@@ShelbyFlyer Ok cool. I have family up in that area myself. I'm running with a RACE RED 2018 GT w/10 speed at the moment and a few mods, like the 2016 - 2018 base GT350 style wheels and wing, resonator delete, intake, and some black emblems, roof, etc. I love it, but it's time for an upgrade to my dream car, since I first laid eyes on the 2007 GT500. Keep doing what you're doing. Not many give us content with this kind of detail and insight. By the way, when it comes to PPF and Ceramic Coating, which products do you recommend over another?

[@ShelbyFlyer]

@@show1877 Thanks Robert! I used Speed Shield in Addison TX. They put Suntek Ultra & Modesta quartz on my car. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eovXkGyigLujbac

[@karimali7602]

Oof man, that's a LOT of work... But hey, he can run Carbon wheels now!

[@ShelbyFlyer]

Yes it was! He and I are going racing together in a couple weeks. He is jazzed to have the upgraded wheels and tires for our event!

[@normanstrickland4970]

Awesome video away great diy video nothing like seeing a it and done right.What ramps are you using with your lift my new suspension is lower than the track pack springs now with se package. My benpak lift to low profile but the car is super low now.

[@ShelbyFlyer]

Thanks! You can see those ramps in the beginning of this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eILVdKucoNWLgrM

[@davemurphy63C10]

$665 for studs? Wow!

[@ShelbyFlyer]

Yup! Over priced OEM GT500 parts!

[@davemurphy63C10]

@@ShelbyFlyer thank you for the video. Good to know that many of these bolts are one time use.

[@ShelbyFlyer]

@@davemurphy63C10 After chatting with others, the consensus is the bolts are considered one time use due to the preexisting thread lock on the bolts. Others have just cleaned the bolts and applied new thread locker.

[@Idk_whoiam824]

Beautiful car,.interested in selling? Any idea where i can find one?

[@ShelbyFlyer]

This is my buddy’s car. There are cars for sale on the GT500 forum. I run it as Goose17: www.fordgt500.com/forums/cars-for-sale-wanted.12/

[@derowens88]

Do you have a part number for the axle nut? We were sent the wrong size

[@ShelbyFlyer]

I do not. My buddy chose to reuse his. He has tracked the car many times since… no issues.

[@JDM_MSK]

Can’t imagine how much he paid for a set of CF wheels. Should he just have bought the CFTP car ?

[@ShelbyFlyer]

They are not easy to find and not cheap. I have 3 sets of them and can attest they are worth the price!

[@JDM_MSK]

@@ShelbyFlyer Prolly a better investment than the stock market right now !

[@SandwichShoppe]

Is the offset different at all with the carbon wheels or do they fit on the base gt500 exactly where they should?

[@ShelbyFlyer]

If you add longer studs or the CFTP hubs, the CF wheels fit on the base model just like they do on the CFTP.

[@SandwichShoppe]

@@ShelbyFlyer thanks I got a set of CF wheels from your forum, keep up the good content and great videos!

[@ShelbyFlyer]

@@SandwichShoppe Congrats Alan!
