The ford racing would get my vote if they had a polished lip.
I don't like all blacked out wheel look, I like a separation between the tire and the rim.
So I'm leaning towards the 2010 SVT and 07/09 black SVT.

My vote is for the ford racing matte black...black wheels on a red car looks awesome. Add some additional black pieces like the black rear medalion, fuel door, quarter window deletes and billet grille and you'll be set:-D

I'm biased to the 07-09 SVT (also referred to as the '07 GT500's)... And the black SVT for the same reason that pascal states.

I'm iffy on an all-black wheel like the FRPP Matte black, though. Sometimes a car can pull it off but usually, to me, it just ends up making the vehicle look dirty. These are cheap, though...can get a complete set for $549 with free shipping. Although, I will not sacrifice looks just to go cheap, of course.

I find it surprising that the 07 GT500s haven't received much love. Personally, I like them, but I don't want the polished versions. I've found a place that sells reconditioned GT500s that can be bought with a silver finish for $139 ea + free shipping.

Thanks for everyone's input...still debating!

I voted for the Black Bullits. Get 19's and put some lowering springs in it.

The ford racing matte blacks all day. All of the other wheels are played out if you ask me. Check out the rtr dark charcoal rims. I'm gonna get those eventually. Just sucks, they are nearly 300 a wheel.

Yeah, I do like those a lot. But they are not readily available, I don't think. At least, I haven't found them for sale outside of some outrageous used eBay auction.
