Shadow Black on Black
Shadow Black on Black
P51 Wheels is proud to introduce another member joining the family. Jerell brings us his 2017 Shadow Black S550 Ford Mustang GT to add another color combination with our lovely P51 101RF wheels in the standard Gloss Black finish. Together, it brings a mean, sinister appearance for his Shadow Black but this was only one of his main choices for choosing us as one of his many performance upgrades for his Mustang GT.
To start off, a little testimony from Jerell on his journey to his set of P51 101RF wheels.
“I first stumbled upon these wheels scrolling through Instagram and they immediately caught my eye! They’re specifically designed for the s550 platform and the fitment shows! And to make things even better, they’re 12 lbs lighter than the performance package wheels! Took 3 days shipping from California to Virginia and the wheels arrived in individual boxes wrapped and covered to prevent travel damage. Opened and unwrapped, these wheels are stunning and surprisingly lighter than expected when you pick them up.
My Setup:
19×10 +35 @ 21lbs wrapped in Michelin Pilot Super Sports 275/35/19
19×11 +50 @ 21lbs wrapped in Michelin Pilot Super Sports 305/35/19
After Installation:
These wheels transformed the look and feel of the car. The car literally feels faster and more agile! I get a lot more looks and compliments now when I’m just cruising on the highway or walking to my car in a parking lot. The best part about it all though is the cleaning! Compared to cleaning the performance pack wheels, I probably clean all 4 in the time it would take for me to start on the 2nd pp wheel.”
With plans on supercharging his GT, the newly added wide setup and the upgraded tires will surely help Jerell plant more power down onto the road. Currently lowered on the Pedders XA coilovers, the fine tuned height really puts everything together. With a full suspension upgrade in the near future, we should be seeing great things happening with Jerell’s build and turn this sinister S550 in a beast.

Hot and ripe! Miguel Osuna’s 2016 Ford Mustang GT in the Competition Orange is definitely an eye catcher. Here we have another member joining us today into unfamiliar territory to the Mustang lineage! Coming from the S197 Ford Mustang GT platform, Miguel is definitely happy to be in his dream car, the S550 Ford Mustang GT known as, Habanero.
To start off his journey with Habanero, Miguel picks up the MBRP exhaust system in the Race version to really free up some horsepower and give Habanero a much hotter growl than before. In addition, the newly added GT350 intake manifold gives the Coyote engine the extra breathing capabilities it deserves.
Lowering your S550 Ford Mustang is definitely in the top of list of modifications to do for any owner. Miguel chose to go with CJ Pony Parts lowering springs lowering the cars center of gravity by 2″ in the front and 1.5″ in the back for better handling this big body needs.
Having only ran his stock performance package wheels, Miguel definitely saw an opportunity with our P51 101RF wheels to really help with his list of future modifications! Losing a total average of 30 lbs with the new 20″ wheels, Habanero will definitely have an improvement in acceleration and a great reduction in stopping distance
Miguel also wanted to keep a nice OEM look to his new wheel setup and with our P51 101RF wheels accepting the factory center, it definitely helped Miguel achieve this setup while having the ability to run much wider tires than before.

Our second P51 Wheels member, Gary Gaspargan, mounts the 101RF on his 2015 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 in Magnetic Gray. Familiar from the previous generation of Mustang GT 5.0, the S197, Gary is definitely enjoying his upgrade to the new S550 with the new independent rear suspension. To start off slow, Gary has given his S550 a new exhaust to really give life to the 5 liter Coyote motor.
Aside from the simple performance mod to his Mustang, Gary rocks a simple set of springs from Eibach with the Sportline kit giving him a nice 1.5″ drop in the front and 1.3″ drop in the rear. To help with the lowered stance, Gary has also fitted a set of BMR Independent Rear Suspension Cradle Kit to really help plant the power down to the road by reducing wheel hop.
With all these simple mods, Gary has been through various wheel and tire setups in the past but didn’t feel complete with running other heavy wheel setups. The P51 101RF definitely helps Gary reduce a significant amount of rotational mass with only 23 lbs up front and 22 lbs in the rear with our staggered 20″ setup.

Our first P51 Wheels member, Ed Mayapis, rocks the 101RF on his 2015 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 in Competition Orange. Already packed with power from factory, Ed has quickly turned this stallion into a beast. The Mustang has completed almost every bolt-on modifications you can think of; a JLT cold air intake, Stainless Works 1 7/8″ stainless catted long tube headers, and a Works 3′ dual catback exhaust.
Aside from the performance modifications that has been done to the Mustang, Ed has made the necessary modifications to the suspension to ensure the best drivability and handling that this new S550 chassis. Rockig a set of BC Racing BR Series Coilovers, Edward has done the full works with BMR’s suspension package replacing the factory control arms, bushings, swaybars, and endlinks to provide a more confident road feel and precise handling characteristics just like the P-51 Mustang.
To bring the build all together, Ed has opted to run the newest 101RF in the standard Gloss Black finish. The 101RF features a split 5-spoke design with rotary forging construction giving them the lightest wheels he’s ever ran. Making the perfect combination, the 101RF compliments the Mustang’s accentuated features, while adding a classy and modern wheel design.
