Default Last time I promise!!

Well I'm sure your all going to hate me right now lol, but I have another opinion to ask of you guys. If you have been following all my threads you have seen that I cannot for my life find a rim thats perfect for me THAT IS IN STOCK. I just got an e-mail from the only place I was hoping that had the TSW's, and it turns out that TSW isnt making the 18x9.5 (0 in stock and 0 in production) so those are now out of the question. Also I fell in an out of the black track pack wheel phase within 2 days so those are also out. I have finally come down to the last 2 wheels that actually catch my eye. The black gt500 replicas from american muscle, or the RTR rims which I have liked from the beginning but feel everyone if going with that style wheel. Or would I be better off buying oem gt500 wheels and powder coating them black for only $400?

GT500's -- Like -- I like the fact that I can get a staggered 18" setup and go with 255 up front and 285 out back & they are only $1500 for the complete set with Nitto Nt-555's
Dislike -- Not sure but do they seem kind of cheesy? Not in a bad way but that the all black ones look nothing like the actual gt500s?

RTR --Like -- they are badass looking and look killer with grabber blue
Dislike -- They are one size with 275 all around, & everyone seems to be getting that style rim.

Here are some pics on other stangs

Of the 2, I'd go with the GT500's. Both look nice, but the GT's just look a little cleaner.

I agree, but everyone else feels the same way and thats why there are a ton of stangs and even bmws with that style rim. I still love them regardless though

Dare to be different....I agree....Have to find something other then the GT500 also. The Alcoa Black Super Snakes are awesome but, pricey. There also 20s.

Why not just get OEM GT500 wheels and leave them alone? They look AWESOME on grabber blue just they way they are.
