Those appear to be standard factory finish Ford GT wheels from Ford Racing.

They're $940 EACH, so you might want to consider this alternative:

Only $160, but they're not forged like the real thing

the real ones are made by BBS that is why they are so expensive, the FRPP are lighter and stronger

and why does BBS get to charge so much more? I love those wheels, but at that price, they can keep them.

Because the BBS wheels are forged. Forging makes the metal stronger, and therefore less material can be used so that the wheel is lighter, but forging is a difficult process, with lots of processing to do after the wheel has initially been cast, especially on something with that kind of geometry.

Hows the quality from the american muscle ones. I heard from a friend that replicas tend to be weak and crack when you hit the curb, but OEM one are stronger.

If I had to take a guess (and look on the PSH website) I'd say they're P275/40 R18 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 tires....
