Default Wheels and tires

What wheels do you like on a 04 black gt. I have the stock ones on now but want to be different the everyone else. I kinda like the fr500s or somthing around there. Also what tire do you recommend?

Thanks ahead of time

Regular 18x9 in the front and deep dish 18x10 Black FR500's in the rear would look sick.. Throw a set of Nitto 555's or BFG's all the way around and your good to go.

Heres the site I tell everyone to use bacause they are a good price and they have free shipping on everything.

I was thinking about getting the Nitto 555's but i dont want to be buying tons of tires. Hows the tread wear on those tires? I know those tires have the best all grip but what other tires do you recommend that has good tread wear and good traction?
thanks

The Nitto's have a 300 treadwear and a "A" traction rating. My friends mustang has the Pirelli P-Zeros and I know he loves them. Nice thing about these is they have a 400 treadwear and "A" traction rating. Most people like Kumhos and Nittos though. The Kumhos are great tires as well due to the high tread and good traction they get off of them. I found a link for the Pirellis and Kumhos so you can check them out.

I have nitto 555 extreme zr (not sure about the extrem zr part, but they are nitto 555s). I think that's the name, they're not drag, just street tires. I like them. When they are running a little bit low on air, they grab like crazy. I couldn't do much of a burnout on a hot day with low air pressure, they grip so well. I've got ~10k miles on em, and they still look almost new. they were crappy the first 500 miles until they got broken in and now they are pretty good. Good cornering too. and the tread looks cool as well.
