07 GT500 Wheels
I'm thinking about wheels and tires for my GT500. I really like the Supersnake wheels but they are just way out of my price range. I'd like a 19" or 20" and don't want to go narrower than my 9.5" factory wheels. 10-10.5" rear would be great. Anyone have any suggestions? I like black wheels but my car is red w/ white stripes so I don't know if that would look weird. Any input would be appreciated.

Ever think of the Shelby Razor rims?
But they only come in 19X9,or 20X9.

They did make the Razor in an 18" as well, but they don't clear the GT-500 brakes.
What about the 2010 GT-500 vert 18" wheels that are in the FRPP catalogue? Same size as your originals, and a great price.

I want to go to a 19" or 20" and I don't mind the 19" 2010 and up wheels but if I'm spending the money I'd like to to do something different. There is a 2010 in town here and it's a small town so I'd like something different from what he has.

Your options aren't as wide due to you needing front wheels that can clear the brembo's.
I think a staggered set of American Racing Torque Thrusts, Foose Nitrous, Foose Nitrous II or even an FRPP GT500 wheel like you have now but in black would be cool.
I'd be very careful and go with a good brand.
A lot of what's out there today are very cheaply made and the finish may not hold up too long.
I bought many a set of wheels over the years for my mustangs and I've seen it all and have found that you get what you pay for with wheels as in most other things in life.
Why do you want to go up in size to a 20"? Just curious.

I saw a GT500 convertible with a set of 20" chrome razors on it at a car show and they really looked good. The dude got lots of compliments on the wheels while I was there looking at the car.

What about the new FRPP version of the 2011 GT-500 Track Pack wheels? The OEM wheels are 19" front, 20" rear, but FRPP has them as 19x9" and 19x10" ...
