Kona blue would look sweet with the black GT500's. Maybe get a picture of your car and go to the chop shop section and have them chop em' on.

No, these are the 18x9 18x10 staggered setup, 255's in the front, 275's in the rear w/Nitto 555 tires.

So there is a factory 18 off set setup? Or are they aftermarket?

Just keep watching the SVT/Shelby forum classifieds. They come up quite often, both the 19" and staggered SVTPP wheels. Prices are usually around $1800-$2500 but you can always haggle.

I found a set of the SVTPP wheels/tires just in time for winter April can't come soon enough.

I guess my question now is. Is there a seperate SVT/Shelby for sale forum on this site, or are you talking about other forums?

I was referring to other popular SVT forums like SVTPerformance.com. There are several though if you seach GT500 or SVT you'll quickly find them.

I spent weeks researching wheel choices and I immediately noticed the difference between AM's GT500 wheels and the real ones. It bothered me at first too, but I bit the bullet and ordered a 19" set in chrome.

Don't regret it at all. Love the way they look and saved a bunch of $$ for other mods. I even found a set of SVT repro center caps for less than $30, which made it even sweeter. It's also good to know that if I rash up a wheel, I can get another one cheap.

What is the difference between the performance package rims and non performance package rims...

Rims that look the same that im looking for.... (this is just a list of the different options)

GT500 18's
GT500 19's non performance package?
GT500 19's Performance package?

Im assuming that there is only 2 sets of 19's one is performance package and one is not. Are both packages staggerd? Also is the non performance package cast, and the performance package is forged?

The performance package was added to the 2011 GT500.

It uses a staggered set up with 19 x 9 wheels with 265/40/19 up front and 20 x 10 wheels with 285/35/20 in the rear for it's aggressive stance.
