2010 GT500 style wheels

Hey folks I was wondering if anyone out there is running the 2010 GT500 wheels from Cruizin Concepts? Just like the American Muscle ones but cheaper. Thanks!

Yes, I used it to fill in the gap that my black out panel had between the fake gas cap and the panel, it fit really nice so there is no body color visible between the emblem and the panel.

Nice I will prob get the same one. I was thinking of maybe painting it black before I put it on. Does it hold on there good with the 3m tape?

Well most of the references to Cruizin Concepts that I'm finding are negative...very negative. So that worries me. But I saw on another forum that Kpd3014 (https://themustangsource.com/members/kpd3014-115800/) is running some wheels from them. You might try asking him how their quality and service is.

I am interested in those wheels also.

I'm guessing they are all made in China by the same manufacturer, then the retailers like AM and Cruizin just put their names on them, but I don't really know that for a fact. The price is very reasonable but I'm a little leary of potential quality problems that might not be obvious, like the wheels are out of round so they do not balance easily and might show problems at high speeds.

Wades, how is the quality on the AM wheels; did you notice any balancing issues? (like did they have to use a huge pile of weights to get them to balance?)

thanks

Bert I like that red candy color on yours. I bet these wheels would look amazing on there. Im just gonna try to price match to AM.

No issues, quality is great. It took less weights than my factory wheels.

If you don't mind 18's you can get 4 OEM 2010 GT500 rims here for $629 with shipping.

18's


or 19's


I liked the AM 19's for 2 reasons, fist I wanted a lower profile of a tire, second the frpp and stock 18's are using a metallic paint when I wanted gloss black. Both OE and Am wheels look great so it's a win either way.
