Go with what you like because YOU are going to drive it. Everyone is going to give you a different opinion and its just going to confuse you at the end. Bottom line is, that you are going to take the advice that you wanted to hear any way

I'd say go with the 2010's!!!!

Now I'm going mess things all up.....take a look at the brembo wheels on a silver car.....

I think they look badass on silver/dark grey!!!

Just to clarify, I will NOT be going over an 18" wheel on this car, for any purpose.

A.) I think wheels larger than 18"s look stupid for the most part. (Brembo wheels are the exception) B.) Tires are super expensive. C.) I'd like to ride on tires that aren't rubber bands.

The 2010 *coupe* gt500 wheels are 19".

The 2010 *convertible* gt500 wheels are 18".

Find a set of 'vert takeoffs if you want the smaller ones.

I know this. The price I said earlier was for the 'vert ones.

Thanks for the look out though.
