18" 2010 GT500 SVT WHEEL

Just saw that FRPP is listing the 2010 GT500 18"x 9.5 SVT rim for $189 each with the cap. Seems like a reasonable price. I would bet that someplace like buyfordracing would sell it for less.

Just checked $699 a set delivered at BuyFordRacing.

well the american muscle ones come in 18x9 but I really want 18.9.5 and the aluminum ones have black on them. I like the ford racing ones better.
Also, anyone have any idea how much they weigh?

Not a bad deal, plus you know they'll clear GT500 Brembos, which you can't say about all 18"ers

That's a good price for some sexy factory wheels. You could do 285's all around giving you availability to rotate tires.

Agree need to see pictures - thinking about replacing my crap quality FR500s. I swear when this was first posted the link pointed to Dark Argent wheels. Now they are machine finished. I'm guessing that was a goof and the 19s are the only Dark Argent painted wheels?

The ebay site wants $895 + $112 for shipping.

Could you check how much that wheel weighs?

They were shipped with 2 boxes strapped together and the shipping weight for the 2 was 63 lbs. I'm guessing there was at least 3 lbs. of cardboard...maybe a bit more...in the 2 boxes, so that would put each rim at 30 lbs. +/-. Realistically, they are probably a bit less than 30 lbs...but certainly not a lightweight aftermarket or knockoff/replica rim, like some I've seen listed at 23-24 lbs. Since I'm going to be using these for occasional road course tracks, I decided to go with the strength of at least an OEM wheel and not take a chance with one of the lightweight replicas.

I have liked those wheels since they were first released. That BFR price makes them very tempting for my next set!
