I have a 2011 GT Kona Blue stang, and i have been wanting new tires/rims for awhile.

Im hooked on the GT 500's in this picture.

I have seen that there are two different styles of these though? 18's and 19's? also one set is staggerd?

What would be the pro's to either i guess? I was planning on running a 255 up front and a 275-285 in the rear.

Any ideas where i can find a set of these rims? I have watched ebay off and on and havent had much luck.

Im also up for other suggestions for rims, i dont like chrome, and im not digging the blacked out. Some thing darker though similar colors to these rims.

Thanks.

Oh and i checked out the gt500 rims on american muscle, and they do not look the same as the regular GT500, they are close, but they dont look as good in my opinion.

Thanks again.

there are a bunch of other mustang and cobra forums where people are selling them, but they are pricey.

The 19" wheels are forged and quite expensive. The 18" wheels are a little heavier, but your tire selection and cost goes down substantially, and the wheels also cost less than half of the 19's --> http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...10-GT500-Wheel

I was hopping to spend about 1500 on tires/rims

Is it jus the 19's that are staggerd?

$1,549 includes tires - http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...l-And-Tire-Kit

Yes. You couldn't buy just the 19" wheels alone for $1,500.

Really.

Anybody thats on other forums and sees a set of the 19-18's for sale, please pass it along.

Im undecided on which route i will take.

What does a set of the 19's bring?

What are the thoughts on the NT555 tires?

Im looking for a summer only tire that will give me much better traction. I dont really want a DR for the street, but i would like more traction for taking off.

Thes 235 Pzero all seasons are killing me.

Maybe this will change your mind depending on your color of the car.
