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?

 

Buy the GT500 wheels outright ?

Do you have pictures, specs, and which Goodyear ?

 

Yeah dont feel like spending that money, it has the 265 front and 285 rear goodyear f1 supercar tires

here are some pics

 

Haven't heard anything good about those tires.

 

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'd do it in a heartbeat! Our wheels are really inexpensive to replace relative to those

 

I've also heard good things concerning the g2 tires. Wear issues really don't matter since Pirelli wear fairly quickly as well

 

Yeah, then wouldn't be getting the better tires. Plus I like the 20 rears, will look better when lowered a little on the Steeda boss springs. Also don't think the stock boss wheels will come close in sales price to these.

 

Post pictures when complete. Not a huge fan of the stock wheel myself but My wallet...I meant to say My wife said deal with it..LOL
She didnt say how long??

 

There's a reason why guys get rid of those sized wheels....

Like this?

 

That looks nice. Those are the 19's right? What's the reason people are changing?

 

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".

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

 

The 20`s are cool but, I still like the BOSS 302S look....#228

 

Ahh cool, thanks for the heads up. I called Tousley today to check on stock boss wheels and they are like 400 something with the core charge! May just hold on to these and buy something.....still not sure.. Thanks for all the info though bud. And you are right. There are very little tire choices at that size, and the F1's are crazy high

 

That looks super clean on the white. Any pics from the side?

 

What color is your car? I have some photos and PS's of those wheels on a few different cars. BTW I like the 302S wheels and might buy a set for the track.
