I couldn't pass the deal ... almost-invisible scratch, less than half price of new ones

I recently bought a set of '10 GT500 forged 19 x 9.5's for my '11 Sterling Grey 5.0L. Almost the same wheel as Gabe's 18 x 9.5's, but an inch bigger diameter and barely different spoke. I bought tri-bar center caps (vs the SVT caps). Wrapped them in Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetric All-Season tires (255/40 fronts and 275/40 rears). I think these wheels go very nicely with Sterling Grey, just like on Gabe's '13....

Are there other options for these wheels?

I ordered 3 different sets of center caps before I got the right ones. The ones that fit the SVT wheels are the "big" center caps that came with the 2001 Bullitt Mustang wheels (not to be confused with the small caps that came on the later 2008-9 Bullitt Mustangs). The 2001's are very high quality with the clear acrylic over the whole pony & tri-bars so they look like they're under glass.

Just started a separate thread about center cap options ... American Muscle has some cheap options, but I didn't like any of them ...

Thank you!
Very similar. Haven't tried to see what it can do in the corners yet since new tires generally need some mileage to break-in and clean off whatever coating they come with from the factory, but I will soon.
Thanks, and the height is perfect in my eyes.
Thank you, I love them too
Well, they were

I was able buy the whole set of caps for about $90. Our Ford parts department searched dealer inventory nationwide for a set that had been sitting on a shelf too long and that dealer had them offered at 50% off. Took a couple weeks to get them shipped from the stocking dealer to my dealer, but worth the savings.
