Cool New Wheels Ordered for the Rear!

UPDATED - Pics installed with 275/40/18 Goodyear Eagle F1 tires off of a vette. I know the car is dirty.... its snowed recently and the roads are still dirty from it so its impossible to keep it clean.






Ordered some black stock style 18x10s for the rear from americanmuscle.com

Here's how my car looks now with the stock 235/50/18s (with 1" wheel spacers in the back).



I'll paint the wheels to match my fronts (i like the satin black look) and i have some used 275/40/18 corvette tires to put on them for the time being and swap my tpms from my stock wheels to them. ill be sure to post pics once they are installed. should be less than a week

EDIT

My new 18x10 stock style wheels for the rear came in!



here's how they looked right out of the box.... all glossy



heres after i painted them semi-gloss to match my others



heres a pic of them installed with some 275/40/18 goodyear eagle f1 tires off of a vette. i know its not the best. ill post more tomorrow when its light out.

I'm sure it will look great when done... I'd like to get larger wheels for the rear as well, but I'll probably do gears next. BLACK is beautiful man!!!

Are you wheels just going to be wider or are they having a lip also? Either way im sure it will look tight tho.

Your car looks awesome! I love the murdered out look, and the wheels/chin spoiler really make it great.

do the new wheels have the same back spacing as the stock wheels or did you change that?

I'm sure it's different but it will fit. It's the same dimensions most 18x10 wheels are with a 45mm offset

are the wheels the same? i know to avoid any issues with ford their GT500 wheels are a slightly different design. i would have thought those would not be 100% like the stock wheels either. Good luck, it should look cool.
