Default New wheels (OE Wheels GT4)

I picked up a set of the OE Wheels GT4's recently. Really happy with the quality and the looks. Going 18x9 front/18x10 rear.

Got the tires mounted Sat, now if only some warm weather would arrive so I can get them on the car (going to be running Goodyear F1 Supercars, not really suitable for sub-freezing temps)

I'm actually considering getting those as well (not the black ones), but wasn't sure how the mixed deep dish and regular rims would look. Post some pics when you get them on.

I'm also curious to see what size tires you got for them.

Fronts are P255/45ZR-18, Rears are P285/40ZR-18

Those sizes come out to almost exactly the same overall diameter front to rear. It's also the same sizes Ford uses for the GT500.

Will definitely toss some pics up when I get them on the car.

oh, looks really good, especially with those center caps.
Is that glossy black or black chrome?

Are those Scott Drake centercaps? Which ones, and do they work easily or require something custom to fit them?
