New wheels for my 2011 GT.
Well just got my new wheels in from Tire rack.
My car is black and I wanted the wider rear tires so I went with the Silver and not the black wheels.
Here is a link of the wheels http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...h=Hyper+Silver
I went with the 19x8.5 BE by Breyton GTS-AV up front with 245/45ZR -19 Hankook Ventus tires
19x9.5 BE by Breyton GTS-AV out back with 275/40ZR -19 Hankook Ventus tires.
The look great on the car and when it is light out I will get some pics up. It has been freezing out so the car is kind of getting dirty but still will take some pics when I can.
I was curious about wheel weight compared to the stock 18" wheels with 235/50R tires, and I was actually a bit surprised. I thought the rears wheels and tires would be a good bit heavier than the stocks wheels but they were right at the same weight. Now I was just using a bath room scale so not sure how accurate the weights were but they both came in at 55lbs the new fronts where right at 50lbs. So according to the scale I used I am saving 5lbs per wheel up front and no penalty over stock in the rear.
Here is a crappy pic I took while in my Garage last night. The has also been lowered 1.5" on Ford Racing springs.

Picture above isn't working, but I went and saw other photos of the wheels on your flikr account. Car looks great, but do you have any pictures of it with the new wheels outside, or only ones in the parking garage? I'm considering these wheels also, because they are really light weight and I like mesh 19" wheels on our cars....
