I personally love the new AM Foose wheels, which are replicas of the MY13 19" wheel options.

Whats your budget though? Are you going to do black accents or chrome accents?

I'm not real sure on my wheel budget, i plan on spending enough that i end up with wheels i really like, rather than feeling like i "settled". I've seen several DIB cars on black or charcoal wheels that i liked, but haven't seen any on chrome or silver that i recall. I kinda like the look of the boss 302s wheels but would love to see some on a DIB car before i decide. I think maybe the 2011 gt500 track pack wheels would be a possibilty as well.

Studly, are those the sve drifts? they look really good. Bigblue, those are the 11 gt500s i was talking about, and that is the best price on them i have seen. Anyone care to chime in about dealing with blue oval industries, good or bad?

Just google Blue Oval industries. Your question will be answered immediately.

Those wheels are replica (cast) of the 2010 gt500 convertible wheels and 18x9.5.

The real deal forged versions 19x9.5 were available on coupe/vert for 2011 & 2012 for cars that did not get the svtpp.

I have two sets of the forged wheels. One has been powder coated textured black. I will be selling the black ones as I have way too many sets of wheels.

You can't go wrong with the AMR wheels in charcoal. Put 19" staggered with lowering springs and it drastically changes the stance of the car.

ILStang, I sent you a PM. Also, check out some of the new ACE wheels, to be honest... they've really stepped up their game with the new 2013 models. Here is a link to the Mesh 7's, and comparing prices these are great.
http://www.acealloywheel.com/mesh7-w...ls_1_1073.html

Here is also the convex. http://www.acealloywheel.com/BMW-M-N...er_1_1037.html

TSW also came out with a nice concave series for 2013 that are very nice and being that they're TSW, affordable.

They also carry a new role forged wheel besides the nurburgrings and interlagos.

Just some wheels to think about. My opinion is, never skimp out on wheels. You'll regret it.

always be cautious with replicas. the are often not made from the same materials. if your not driving performance then it probably does not matter.

Definitely check on the quality the replicas if you are gonna race with them. I've had my FR500's for 5 years now and made a ton of passes on them with DR's with no issues. I purchased them from AM.

Jay to the rescue! What a good rep.

I never thought id say this, but I'd go with silver in your case. Please don't go black though. I haven't ever been a fan of black wheels on blue cars. It just seems odd to me

They would look so sick on your car. I've been looking at those wheels for a long time
