Exclamation Need Help Finding Some Wheels, BADLY.

O.K. folks!

Looking to replace my stock wheels for my 2008 GT500.

I want to keep the stock tires so I want something that will fit them well so I'm guessing I will probably have to stick with 18's.

I am also looking for a wheel that looks like the CCW SP500's.
Here's a link to them:
Complete Custom Wheel - Wheel Profiles

Problem is I cannot find anything that looks like these in 18's.
Plus these cost a CRAPLOAD!
I also want them black so I will either buy them black or if they don't come in black I will have them powder coated.
I also do not want to spend a truck load of cash on them.

Oh and also I would like them to be at least stock in weight and not really any heavier.

I am at a TOTAL loss on this.
I have been searching and searching... with NO luck at all so if you folks could give me some help I would REALLY appreciate it!
Thanks everyone!

Have you looked at the Saleen S style or a Cobra R replica. Do you want it to have a deep dish look?

I would like a wider spoke than the saleen S style really.
I had those before and liked them but looking for a wider spoke and a smooth spoke.

Not REALLY looking for a deep dish look but would not mid it either.

There is no guessing. You will have to have 18's to put on an 18in tire.

I haven't seen an Alcoa that looks close to the look I am trying to get that I posted in the first post.

Dude this is a tuff deal. That big black mf'er was born for the stock wheels, but based on your needs I would offer something like this...
http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...9.5&vid=014561
The 50mm offset might give you trouble, but other than that they seem good to go....and yea, I would have to go chrome. Nothing sexier than a black car with chrome wheels man
but if you wish to powdercoat a machined finish is available.
