You really can't go wrong with either option. It's just an issue of how much you want to spend.

I had the 2010 GT500 19" wheels on my Grabber Blue and they looked amazing!!

I actually managed to find another set (@700 miles on them) that I am installing on the Red Candy car this upcoming week-end hopefully !!

I'd have to say neither. The OEM GT500 wheels are nice but if you're buying wheels, why buy something that comes stock on some mustangs? As for the RTRs, they're cool but it's too bad you can't stagger them. I wouldn't want 275s up front. Did you call the place I told you about? They get a pallate of TSWs every 2 weeks. Maybe they have some black nurburgrings in 18x9.5. I can ask tomorrow when I pick up my wheels, of course they would have to ship to you. If not, you could look at some other TSW wheels (I like some of the other styles). Or maybe some godspeeds?

I would go with the OEM GT500 wheels. If you ever decide to return your car to stock, you'll probably get more money for the GT500 wheels than RTRs.

The RTR's and gt500s seem to be getting the same votes. Alloysixxer I have to agree with you on the fact that why get a wheel that comes stock on some mustangs, and even shelby owners swap them for something else. I totally forgot about that place for the tsw's but i will give them a call now.

hell yeahhhhh!!!!! Just contacted wheelstudio.com and they do not have any TSW's in 18x9.5 in matte gunmetal, but they have them in the mirror finish, and he said they can powdercoat those 2 wheels to match the fronts for only $100!!! or since I was looking for a bit darker, he told me he can powdercoat all 4 for $200 any color i'd like. I think I finally have something going my way!!!

Nice I'm not a fan of the am gt500 wheels either. It seems they have a 10"rear nurburgrings wheel that is supposed to fit the stang. I want to say it was a 42 offset.

I like the RTR's but I am going with the Ford Racing Track Pack wheels (on a silver GT):
