What wheels should i go with
I don't know what wheels to buy.... Y'all please help... The polished aluminum ones are 18" and they are what carl has and the other are 19" 2010+ gt wheels
They are both going to run me about the same price
I'm also worried about cost of ownership of 19" wheels due to tire prices

I love my polished 18's. They give the car an aggressive look, they're retro if you want them, they're oem, and you can find them easy. And the polished is a great look and super easy to clean

Yea I found both sets for $300 w tires
Part of me wants to go retro (18" bullets w tri spinners added to em)
The other part of me wants to go for the aggressive road race look with splitters and what not (19" )

Mm both good looks. The retro is kind of being taken over by the road race. I think with the boss coming out everyone is going to those looks with splitters and all that.

I went with 18's, partly because I thought the ride would be better and partly because 255x45x18 is a common size and not real pricey. I have to admit that those 19's look good too though.

I'd go w/ the polished Bullitts, even just on looks. On your color car, I think the polished wheels would pop vs the painted just kind of blending in. Factor in tire cost, 18's for sure IMO.

Of the two I like the polished 18's the best. I believe both are 8.5" wide however the 18's provide significantly more tire choices at this juncture.
My first choice would be the chrome SVT clones on your car as they are 9.5" wide and allow for more tire under the car. You should be able to find used SVT rims at a pretty good deal, but I guess $300 for the ones you are looking at would be hard to beat!

Went w these... Will upload pics of em on car tomorrow ... Will b picking up 275 40 18 on Sunday to throw on the back... Then I'm going to have a company cut em to 10" wide so I can run em staggered thinking 305 40 18 roll that for a few months then sell em and go another route :-)
