Default New GT Rims

First of all is this a good deal? I'm hoping it doesn't get bid up too much so I can pick them up for around $250 + shipping...

Secondly will this color look bad with my color of car? I have a Performance white car, which color/style of rim should I get? Chrome, charcoal, what?!?

Will these fit my car perfectly?

And lastly how much will tires be for these?

Not sure how much his reserve is but these would look great on your car. Shipping is not to bad either. I held out for black, I think it looks best on a white car imo.

Do you have 17's already?

IMO, you will get a better deal waiting on a set of bullitt new takeoffs complete. if you have the 17" tires already...then you are good with the auction for sure.

But, if you have 16's...you have 4 tires (figure $500ish for something decent) plus bands ($100ish) and then figure $50-75 playing tire swap getting your sensors out etc...the cost adds up.

It may be less of a headache to go a turn-key route...and then sell yours as a winter set or something.

This is what I did. I had 16's on my car and wanted 18's I was holding out for some take off. Ended up after searching craiglist daily for months I cam across some 17's that a guy took off his car with about 500 miles on them. When I saw his car he ony had 850 miles on it, so I believe him. Got them for a steal with sensors and tires. I couldn't pass it up! I did know though all I wanted was the factory black billett rims! I love the way they look on my car and am glad I found them. Still wish they were 18's though. I ended up putting my old rims and tires on craigslist and sold them a day later.

What did you get for your 16's Texcan?

Also Please dont buy this any of you :P! But is this a good deal below?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2005-...Q5fAccessories

you have to take into consideration that they do seem to have some blemishes and they dont come with the tires, also

ARE THEY FACTORY GT500 rims or replicas? Can any of you tell??? And will those fit my 2007 mustang? (I've heard of people having problems with 2005-2006 wheels fitting onto a 2007+ because of TPM or something)

I prefer black myself, but chrome over brushed.

Those look like Takeoffs from a GT500. I think its only 18s that'll give you problems because of the Rotors or something not too sure but, those look like the real deal.
