dont get me wrong, i do like the stock wheels, just like the fanblades better.

if i really wanted them i would just come up with the money and buy some take off's.

If you look carefully they are modeled after the look of the premuim steering wheel.

I had those same wheels on my '05 GT, but knew I wanted the fanblades as soon as they were available in '06. I bought a set of take-off fanblades on ebay a little over a year ago for $400. I sold my original 17" wheels on ebay for $200 to someone with a V6 who wanted to upgrade from 16" wheels. I suggest you try the same route.

I didn't mind the orginal wheels, I just liked the fanblades that much more.

Thanks for advice, I might do the same.

Isn't shipping kind of expensive for something like wheels though? They are kind of heavy? Who did you use to ship them? UPS?
