Wheel change help?
Have the chance to maybe get some 2012 GT500 SVTPP wheels with 300 miles on them for trading my stock boss wheels. Really dont want to loose my stock wheels, but also dont care for the look of them. I like the SVTPP wheels way more and the goodyears on them are awesome. What do you guys think?

You're thinking of the ones on the regular GT500, the "normal" F1 supercar tires. Those suck.
The ones on the SVTPP (F1 Supercar G2s) are actually really good tires. I would not hesitate to use them.
The tread should look like this:

Don't buy them. They are 20x9.5" and 19x9.5" wheels. If you really like them and want new wheels get the Ford Racing SVT wheels in 19x10 and 19x9 and mount your stock tires on them. Then sell your stock wheels and use the boxes your new wheels came in for shipping if needed.

Yes, I was talking about the G2's. From all the reviews I've read, it seems like 2 out of 10 would use these. The number one negative thing people state is the tread life. They wear out way faster than are advertised. Yes, it all depends on how you drive but if you're using these tires, you're more than likely not going to and from the grocery store once a week. Also, alot of people complain of losing traction while the tires still have plenty of tread left. Most people stated they'd be switching to Michelin PS2's for their next set.

I recently checked on the stock wheel prices and Toulsey had them for $410 each plus shipping.

I've read there are not a lot of options on the tire sizes that come on the GT500 PP. Check the price on the F1's. If you're changing wheels for the street I would think you'd want a wider 10" wheel over the 9.5".
