They're the 2010 GT500 style of wheel, right? At 18"x9" they shouldn't present a problem as your car(like mine) have the 18"x8 1/2" wheels. Cool looking wheels

They look like they tuck nicely in the wheel well, good price too I'm seriously thinking getting these with the sumitomo's they offer. After that I can fit the gt500 brake kit which is the goal Now if I can just get ahold of a black pony from the 2010 model I can change my chrome one on the grille would be mostly blacked out.

Gotta run it by the wife first but I do need new tires and I really like the look of these, although I'll go with 18x9 all the way around.

If you're going to change out your wheels, then those would be a nice choice. Especially in chrome.

The grille pony on the 2010 GT is also a different shape than the '05 - '09 Chrome pony. just wanted to point that out because if you try and put the 2010 pony in your grille it won't fit correctly. You may however be able to find a black chrome after-market.

I like them, although with black wheels I like them to have a sliver or metal finish lip to set it off from the tire.

If they made this wheel with the lip I'd be all over them.
