Here's mine.
9.5" up front, 10" in back.
I paid full price for the 10s when I bought them a year ago...

The steeda wheels are obviously quality wheels. But I like the looks of the Black Chrome FR500 wheels. Does anyone know how much they weigh, is the difference in weight noticable.

I think what i am going to do is call mike at cruizin concepts tomorrow because i am sure he can answer all of my questions. The steeda look does not appeal too much to me, but i want to get the bigger tires on my front and rear for the handling and traction.

Hey i have some great pics for you.

http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3313378

There is my car domain with some. Goto my last page with Misc pics to see the few i took this weekend after a wash. Those ones on page 7 were taken with a normal point and shoot sony cam.

There is also a link to my photobucket with tons of rim and tire pics and other car pics as well.

I think my pics show off the steeda ultralights up close well. Noone really has any actual close up on car pics. The chrome ones look amazing. I paid $400 BNIB for 4 of those in chrome with new chrome steeda center caps.

The factory polished 18" Bullitts are 25 lbs and the factory chrome 18" Bullitts are 26.5 lbs.

The factory silver 18" Fanblades are 27.5 lbs.

Info was on Tire Rack.

Well I have narrowed it down to the FR500 18x10s Black Chrome in the rear and 18x9.5s in the front, or the GT500 wheels in black chrome with the same set up. Any Opinions?

I am assuming i can run 18x10s on all fours with 275 all the way around? Can i go to 285s?

And Ford's website says

The factory "chrome" 18 bullits are 30.2 lbs,

The factory fanblades are 30.7lbs

The factory 17" bullits are 26.7 lbs

Ford's weights must be shipping weight, which would be about right.

I believe any wheels you go with that you can't fit 18x10 up front. If you do 18x10's you would have to run them staggered in the back with like 18x9's up front or whatnot.

Man, that is an awesome price on those wheels! I just bought a set of CS69s and had I seen these at this price I might have rethought my purchase
