does anybody sell GT500 Replica wheels with the black machined finish other than american muscle? i just called them to order some and they're out of stock and won't get any in for 4-6 weeks!!!!

my car is in the body shop and they're moving it around on the spare and i need a new set of rims/tires by next week when they're done. i'm reusing the rear tires i already have (Nitto NT555 285-40-18) and putting those on whatever new rims i get. the body shop guy told me he could fit the 285's on a 9" rim, but i wouldn't be very comfortable with that cuz i don't know if there's enough tread support. i can't afford the real GT500 wheels, so they have to be replicas and i DO NOT want chrome... anybody know of another place?

would used GT500 take-offs work? is the offset the same and everything?

IF you want the black machined wheels .... those are the ones that look like the original ones, and the original SVT you can get them from 200 - 209 per wheel. I got mine at 209 each, original GT500's.

And yes they work with the GT's. Check sig.

yeah those are what i want, but i can't spend much over $150 a wheel

i found a guy selling a set of take-offs from a GT500... i know they have a different offset than the replica GT500's do, but can they still fit a 275 up front with no rubbing? what size tires do you have?

MexGT

different offset? I'm sure this ones are 45mm same as the GT's.
I'm using 255/45 front and 305/45 Drag Radials in the rear. no rubbing problems at all

the american muscle replicas are a 50mm offset, but i bet the 45 would be even better.

I found a used set of 4 of the SVT 2007 Cobra (GT500) wheels with 47mm offset on ebay, only had 200 miles on them, for $850 including shipping. They sell for about $280 eachon Tirerack and the Ford dealership wants about $450 for them. OUCH!

I've seen chromed knock-offs on ebay for $360 plus shipping.
