Smile GT500 Take-offs w/ pics

I know lots of you have these, and I love them, couldn't wait to get my hands on them. Picked up a set of GT500 take-offs off ebay...I think a few people on here have bought off this "greenleaf" company on Ebay. Cost was $850, I live in Canada (Ontario) and I drove down to Michigan and picked them up as they didn't ship to Canada. PM if interested in link. Tires were in great shape as described.

Old wheels: OEM Fan Blades - 235/50/18 all the way around.

New 05-09 GT500 Takeoffs - 285/40/18 rear and 255/45/18 front.

I plan on keeping my FanBlades unless I need the money. I really like both sets of wheels but was interested to see how the wider/staggered tires looked.

Much much better. I'd also vote for removing the door guard

But $850 you say? That's tempting considering I need tires and my current rims are too small for anything wider than 255

Looking great! Definitely far better than with the fan blades in my opinion. I can't wait to grab myself a pair of either old or newer GT-500 wheels

I love the 07-09 SVT wheels, and why I decided to keep mine stock.

Thanks for the nice comments guys....I'm so happy with the way they look. I was hoping they would look 'meaty' and definitely exceeded my expectations with the 285 rears.
