Haven't seen anyone paint the CDC chin to match yet, it looks really good!

Looks real good. I love my CDC spoiler. I thought about getting the painted one from american muscle, but decided against with it being a black car.

Default Nice!

Burns,

Also looking at getting GT500 wheels for my kona blue.
Are your wheels Ford SVT 19" wheels or the AM ones?
What size tires are you running? If they're SVT wheels, they must be the forged 19" with 9.5" width all around? No issues fitting them in, rubbing?

I just found a local seller selling his "take offs" factory 2010 GT500 rims/tires for $1800, including TPMS. I think this is a good deal as they're apparently in great shape.

Thanks for your input.

These are the OEM forged GT500 rims. There are no rubbing issues, as the GT500 uses the same suspension geometry.

Im runing the stock OEM width for the GT 500, 285rear, 255 front.

$1800 seems to be the going rate for a new set of GT500 rims with new tires. If the tires have many mils on them, they are going to have to come down a bit.

I got really lucky, i only paid $750 for the entire set with TPMS, the tires have about 8k on them and are about half tread. Also one rim had a scratch that the owner painted to match, Yoiu cannot even tell its there. So that accounts for my cheap price.
