Thumbs up Decided on them because ...

1. Price was just right.
2. Complete the GT500 look.
3. Can add the Brembo brakes later.

If Mr. Shelby would have made some 18" wheels that would clear these brakes (Like the CS67's) would have bought them in a heartbeat.
Did not care much for the 20" CS66's or CS69's.

In any case they still look sharp

Be sure to tell us how they ride. Looking for input on NVH and handling / braking improvemnt with the extra size contact patches.

They look great.

Thumbs up GT Premium Wheels shipping tonight...

Would have kept them, but not interested in 17's. The 18's make a world of a difference - even though many people tried to convince me to go with 20's. I still wanted to have a nice balance between handling and ride comfort - daily driver.
