Does anyone have the 18x8.5 rims (any of the four types) on this page? (pics please)

I'm liking the black ones and the painted argent ones. Yes, I recently bought rims, but I may change in the future.

i was thinking about going with aftermarket 20's (foose) but i think i'm going to stick with these until i save up enough money, i'm pleased with the look.....

Nice stang! I've got chrome CT-R's but many times I think I'd be more happy going with the clean 5-spoke look of those "bullitt-type" rims. The polished ones that are stock are 18x8, but this is the only place I've seen 18x8.5's and also the only place I've seen themin black or painted argent (gunmetal, anthracite). My Ct-R's look really good at dusk, but they are somewhat sparkly in direct sunlight. I'm running 255/45/18 on front and 295/45/18 on back. I think I'd be happy running 255/45/18 all around. It's pretty wide on my 18x9 front rims.

I feel guilty even looking at rims right now because I haven't had my CT-R's but a month. Rims are a constant battle because there are so many great styles. It's hard to resign myself to one rim for the life of my stang. If I had loads of $, I'd just get the bullitt/cone style anyway and change them out at my whim.

I agree ... if I could I'd be constantly changing wheels since there are so many great looking ones out there. If I do change from the bullits, I think I'd look at a set of razors.

Razors are awesome! ...but I'd like to see them without the rivets/studs between spokes. That looks a little tacky to me.

Thanks man! Hey I see you're in NC as well. I'm in the Raleigh-Durham area. Do you have any pictures you can post of your rims? I'd love to see what they look like. I can barely see them on your avatar. I agree with Puck, there are so many choices out there. And the prices can range. So I'm just going to stick with these for a while.

Take care,
Will

Thanks! Yours is awseome! I love the mineral gray with black stripes.
