New Member - Wheel Question

New member here (MJJ).

I have a 2011 Sterling Grey Shelby GT500 convertible with black stripes. I have two sets of OE SVT Forged 19x9.5. The original set I took off so they did not get damaged. The 2nd set I had powder coated textured matte black to match the stripes and the top.

The textured black makes them a chore to keep clean and at times is really dark.

I was thinking of getting a set of silver wheels to make them "pop" a bit more against the sterling grey/black stripes.

I was wondering what you thought about how these wheels would look?

I know they are cast, heavier and only 9" wide which would limit me to a 275 in the rear. So not ideal but I do like the look.

Any other suggestions???

How would a bright silver wheel look like against SG? Cruzin Concepts has a Nice Euro wheel in bright silver. Good looking wheel but this might be to bright.

Thanks

MJJ

I don't think they'd look bad but 9" in the rear isn't going to give you the grip you'll need with your Shelby.

Thanks for the feedback.

Any suggestions for a chrome/silver wheel in 9.5 or 10 or 11? Your dead on about the lack of traction especially since I plan to add at minimum pulley/tune and most likely a TVS blower this spring.
