Default OE GT500 Rims *pics*

I had 17in GT500 replicas on my car. I needed new tires so I was looking at Craigslist to see if I could find a good deal on a wheel and tire set.
Found a set of OE GT500 rims with 285s Eagle R1s and BF Goodrich 235s.

Oh and I cut down the antenna, no more signal on mars for me.

Before:



Now (Yes she is a dirty dirty girl. Post more pics tomorrow when its clean.)

Replica vs OE

Like the new stance, but could you tell me what the difference between the 2 rims are? Besides of course, having a fake vs an OEM, all I can see is the replicas looking a bit dull (which could be polished out).

Nice tanner! I like the wider tires, makes the rear look nice and muscular lol.

P.S. Clean those side skirts lol.

MustangFirst, my old ones were 17in with a NE offset. So they didn't tuck under the fender quite right.

Aaquib, thanks! And I know. It was clean before we went to my father-in-laws to put them on. He lives down a dirt road.
