Default 2010 GT 500 Black Machined Wheels

After staring and drooling at Franchi's car for quite a bit, I decided these were the wheels for me. Installed last night but it was too dark for photos. Car was cleaner in the before shot, but I am not washing the car until the weekend.

Damn Hotwheel, looking good! Those wheels have definitely been rubbing off on me. If I could, I'd trade in the set I have on now for them in a heart beat.

Car looks great man! Looks like it needs to be lowered though, I dunno if its the angle of that last pic or what.

I'm in about $1200 with AM's price match on the wheels and Tire Rack's closeout on the F 1 tires. I plan on selling the stockers for 400-500, so swapping out will run me about 8-900. Not bad considering I would have needed new tires next summer anyway. Not as far away as you think. Didn't you just say something about a refund check?

Thanks. Wish list has gotten awfully small.

Thanks Tanner, gonna wash it this weekend and take some better photos.

I don't think I am going to lower it though I do love the look. I drive everyday for work and I am already concerned about the chin being f'd up. If it was lower I would be worried all the time.I go over at least 10-15 speed bumps everyday. Work takes me top many apartment complexes.

+1, I think you should lower it too.

Looks great bud! Don't lower it though if you have that many speedbumps regularly to go over. Mine is frickin low but I have to avoid 90% of speedbumps otherwise I scrape my midpipe under the car slightly.

Rims look badass! Good choice! :-)
