Can you swing $600 a wheel?

Being that those are used on road racing cars I'm guessing they've got clearance for big brakes.

Discount Tire Direct has 21 that they claim will fit your car. I kind of like these, looks wise, no clue how much they weigh or anything. TSW Carthage:

a bunch of the 18" wheels that say they don't fit the gt500 may actually fit. the tsw 18" nurburgrings for that i had on my 10 weren't supposed to fit, but they bolted right on a brembo 5.0 and it has the same brakes. for that matter look at what some of the boss guys are running, they have the same brakes too. im a fan of the foose speed wheels, they are 5-star in black and polished they woudl look great on your car and there are tons of offsets.

I looked into these and did not see where they would fit the GT500.
I actually liked the chrome ones and was going to powder coat them ALL black.
The spoke design of these is really SPOT ON for what I am looking for.
Am I wrong and they DO fit the GT500 in 18's? IF so please point this out to me!
I'd be ALL OVER them.

The Saleens will NOT fit the GT500. They even have it posted as a notice.

Like I said I am looking for the 5 solid spoke design. Not the designs that have a spoke going all directions. Simple straight forward looking spoke.
And no I would not swing 600 wheel. Just can't justify doing that when so much of that could go into performance mods.

Bleh.... does anyone know the dimensions for the front brakes of the GT500 in the 07-09's?

I called TSW. They said they have people calling about them all the time now asking but the do not know for sure and cannot tell me unless I can get them the dimensions of the brake. They said have no one that can actually tell me if they would work or not for sure.

I have no clue where to find this info so if anyone could I would REALLY appreciate it.
THANKS!

Have you looked at those? They're of a 5 spoke design and they clear the Brembos.

I say you save up and get the newest style GT500 wheels.
Go look at the black GT500 down @ Arrow; those wheels are sexy.
