HELP! I'm a wheel'aholic

2010 GT500 convertible wheels. 18X9.5 with Goodyear Eagle F1's, 255/45 on all 4 corners. It's nice to have a set of wheels that fit under the lip of the wheelwells. I'm keeping the Bullits too but got these for a change of pace. buyfordracing.com

Rich, for some reason wheels are like crack to you.


But the good news is they all looked good. These especially.

Those look great. I've been eyeing those myself for a month or two, even though I already have three sets of wheels for my Mustang (and two sets for my Miata, two sets for the Subaru, and three sets for the Mini).

Rich, those are sweet. The argent goes nicely with your car!

I wish they came in black though... AM's aren't as good looking, they're thicker spokes. Does Ford make these with the black instead?

Sean - Great compliment

houtex - sorry I don't know your first name. I don't think they are available in anything other than the argent

It makes your car look much tougher than it was before.

Looking good Rich

I need to stop procrastinating and get a set ordered for my car! You can't beat $137/wheel.

I agree, I have wanted the 19"er's but I just cant swing the 2k for a set of takeoff's. I'm thinking that I may just go with the 18'' and run staggered tires like I have now. For the price it's almost silly to not grab them.

Just do it Jim They look killer on Alloy as well

I have actually grown tired of the CS69s and will be ordering a set of these real soon.

And if you want some new tires, Team Shelby has a nice deal on the KR staggered tires for $399/set (all 4)

You can run 285/40 on the rear and have the staggered look that you want. I had these tires sitting in the shed that were almost brand new so I couldn't see spending the money for the bigger rear tires. The wheels were $599 shipped. Thanks for all the compliments, I appreciate it.

They really look great on your car. I wonder how they'd look against Redfire.

Smart move, knocks it out of the park !!!!

I did this with my 2002 GT Vert, put 98 Cobra wheels (stock painted grey) on their to set off the true blue.

Got comments all the time...........


Good job !! (hope these stay awhile) LOL
