Hey guys I'm looking at getting these rims for my car, there staggered GT500 rims 18x9, 18x10 from American Muscle. I copied one of the pictures and had a friend photshop the colour to windveil blue. Any opinions would be great. Thanks.

I think they look great! How's the price?

allicedout 04-11-2011 07:03 PM

$1174.99, and $223.26 shipping, duty and taxes, so grand total of $1398.25 all in.

VAEM 04-11-2011 07:31 PM

Those are the nicest GT500 rims to date,so i agree with the two above me.:tup

Red Pony 04-11-2011 08:06 PM

I agree with those ^^^ guys!

Blackheart4355 04-11-2011 08:14 PM

And so you haven't bought them yet why??

Ronnie06GT 04-11-2011 08:39 PM

Excellent choice...go get em

carspark 04-11-2011 09:35 PM

yea u will like though's get them the price isn't 2 bad i got a similiar set of 5 spocs satan finish 18' inch for my winters and even though's were about 1,100. but everyone who saw them on the car loved them and even some liked them better then my summer rims. but though's rims are awesome take them.

def67 04-11-2011 09:45 PM

Get em, I got the same ones on my car, except mine are crome.

fast Ed 04-11-2011 10:32 PM

They will look good, not too blingy to overpower the Windveil blue paint. 255/45R18 and 285/40R18, the stock GT-500 18" sizes, would work nicely on 9" and 10" wheels. As it is with the OEM 9-1/2" wheels, the 255 is on the max. rim width, and the 285 is on the minimum.


cheers

Looks good

allicedout 04-12-2011 04:22 PM

There not back in stock until April 22. Seems a long ways to go. I just hope they don't raise the prices after there back in stock.

SNAKEBITE 04-12-2011 06:31 PM

does that include rubber. i paid less than 800.00 for mine last year

allicedout 04-13-2011 08:50 AM

Includes rubber. Sumotomo something if i'm not mistaken. not sure what the rubber is like, but my budget doesn't warrent anything better right now.

SNAKEBITE 04-13-2011 06:16 PM

Not a bad price at all-get'em

allicedout 04-13-2011 06:28 PM

OK so I bought them finally! I'll wait until April 22. Just wanted a clean look. Plus the price was hard to beat, and because i saved some pennies, I spent them again. Also got Ford Racing K-sport lowering springs as well.

You are really going to like the new handling performance once you get her lowered with those wheels/rubber.

ChadStang 04-14-2011 10:05 PM

Be sure to post some pics when it's done. It should look great.

SNAKEBITE 04-15-2011 02:51 PM

Very nice

Nice!!Gonna really add to those rims visually with that lowering kit.:tup

SNAKEBITE 04-16-2011 01:47 AM

^^^lowering and exhaust are always my first 2 items to replace the factory stuff. Funny with the Kleeeen I told the wife I would wait a while but within a month or two the swap was complete lol

allicedout 04-16-2011 05:00 PM

ok so now there saying 4-6 weeks!!!! WTF?? I really rather not wait that long for rims. What do you all think, FR500's or bullets?

If I had to choose between the two I would go FR500.

ChadStang 04-17-2011 10:56 AM

What about these?

Nice rims, but rather not spend that much cash. Shipping alone is $350.

Yes shipping is a killer on this stuff. I have such a tough time justifying the price of wheels and tires so I'm always on the lookout for something used.

SNAKEBITE 04-17-2011 03:50 PM

Nice price on the Saleens but I am an eighteen incher kind of guy (no homo) lol

allicedout 04-18-2011 11:42 AM

So I called American Muscle just now and got confirmation that they've received a new shipment, looks like i'll be getting my rims and tires after all!

SNAKEBITE 04-18-2011 05:05 PM

1low03gt 04-18-2011 07:57 PM
