Where did you get your rims from? How much did they cost? Did you get the tires with the rims?

I got the rims and tires from my local dealership. I'm good friends with the service manager and he had ordered them for another person and they did not pickem up. They are 2007 Factory Ford Racing 18x9's (Chrome) with G-Force TA KDW 235/50/18 tires. He let me have them at cost which was still quite expensive at $1700.00. I know that is high, but I looked around and could not find them a whole lot cheaper once I figure in the warranty, Free install, fact that I can get them to do any mods for me for at a reasonable rate and that they will still find a way to cover my car under warranty with what ever mods I have done. To me it was worth it.

You say ford factory..do you mean the wheels that are an upgrade option on the GT? IF so the wheels are polished, not chrome.

Ford does offer an 18" Chrome bullit now.

Not sure...have not seen the specs on them yet.....I imagine they are a bit heavier though.

I just bought some American Racing Shelby Signature Series 'Razor' wheels size 20X9 for $744.00 delivered. I have some Kumho
255/35YR20's on back order from The TireRack for $490.00 w/delivery. These are the wheels on the A R popups to the right on this website. Mine have the anthracite centers with polished lip.
