Help!!! What rims should I buy???

I am going to buy black bullitt style rims for my 2007 GT/CS.

Should I go with after market 18x8.5 in the front and 18x10 deep dish in the back?

or

Should I purchase the Ford Racing 18x8.5 all around?

My gut is telling me to go with Ford Racing. If so, does anyone know where I can buy them online with free shipping? AM doesn't have them.

Thanks for the help.

I would go with the same size front an back. I don't know what shipping cost are here but the price seems very good for Ford wheels.

Thanks NJ,

They WERE priced very well! Unfortunately they are on back order for several weeks.

Gonna go with the Ford Racing Rims from LRS who has them in stock. It's just going to cost me a few more dollars but it's well worth it!

Thanks again.
Rob

Man you are going to get rid of the stock rims????? That is what i get the most comments about. Everybody loves the way the stock GT/CS rims looks.

Nooooo! I love the stock rims too! I purchased the same Ford stock rims in black and I am going to keep the chrome rims. I have no plans of selling them.

You can breathe easier now. LOL

What wheels should I buy

I got the Shelby American Torque Thrust 18 x 8.5s front and rear with the black center and polished lip. fills the wheel wells just right. It really makes the car look mean. Look at them on American Racing's web site.

I totally agree its what people always comment on. Looks tight on a black GT/CS (but im partial).
I do however like the black ones on the SGT.
