JT2004 Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 I'm looking to change my SVT Package wheels and tires. Can you guys (or gal) share some pics if you've done it to your GT500? As for Tires, I'm looking to go with Michelin Pilots 275's front & 295's rear. Still deciding on what type of wheels to go with, input and suggestions are appreciated B) .

91z28350 Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 I have Shelby Wheel Co. CS-1's in Gunmetal with polished lip. I am running 275/35 up front on 20x9 and 295/35 (soon to be replaced with 315/35) on 20x11 out back. I am running Nitto Invos and I have been pleased with them.

Hmm...most of the nice aftermarket wheels that I saw and liked were very similiar to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueByU Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 I bought another SVT set of Tires & Rims from a 2012 GT500 and had them Power Coated BLACK. I will take pictures of them before and after they are mounted on the Rims. PS I have my old set of SVT Tire and Rims forsale.

There was another brand that I like alot...but the name slips my mind right now. I'll try to think of it...these cars are very picky in terms of what looks good on them IMO. I have seen some horrible wheel choices around the forums...they actually make me cringe at the sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burning Blue Star IV Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Now I remember...they're Forgestar wheels...either the F14 (again somewhat like the SVTPP) or maybe the CF10? http://www.forgestar.com/v2/wheels.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you tell us how the fitment goes? I need new tires for next summer and I'm thinking about buying a new set of rims to go with them. Would really like to go wider in the back and don't want to pay to modify my stock rims which I'll just store. Would like an 11" rim in back for a 315 or 305 and that was why I'm considering the CS1.

JT2004 Posted September 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Thanks for the pictures, really appreciate it. They all look good! I found the one I liked HRE C90's.....unitl I found out that they cost $1700 a piece!!!! I don't mind spending some money on wheels and tires...when I say some, I meant around 5k (that's for both wheels and tires). $1700 per wheel without the tire is a bit off my budget...if I'm to spend that much, i better be prepared to spend as much for the wife and kids or else....lol. I'll do more resarch, I'm in no rush since the Goodyears are still in good shape. Thanks again for the input and pics! JT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burning Blue Star IV Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Also another choice to offer..that I might actually pick up and mount all season tires on - SVE Drift Flat Black. Cheap..and great looking IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want this look, go RTR. So I could slice cheese and use my wheels as a deadly weapon...all at a great price? Hmmm...sounds good.... :P Seriously, thanks for the heads up..but for me personally, it's not an issue...I would just use the wheel/tire combo for winter weather driving. So I'm not looking for something that is top of the line...cheap and good looking is my requirement. I don't want to feel like I'm driving a great car - but the wheels...eek. So perhaps for the OP the RTR wheels you suggested are the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want this look, go RTR. Those of us that live up north chip up rims in the spring - fall driving season. In MN, they are constantly putting down tar with small rocks everywhere. I avoid those roads when they do, but it doesn't stop your peers from tracking those small rocks onto the main roads. That is how my OEM rims have gotten chipped. It's going to happen regardless of rim quality. My $600 per rim BMW X5 rims faired no better.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VNMSNK Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 I use my car as a daily driver and can attest to what your happens to the wheels. I put a set of FRPP Boss 302S wheels on my car for daily use with Invo's and they are a fairly inexpensive way to look good and not feel like you are wasting a lot of money. Feel free to let me know if you like it or hate it. Forged wheels are not necessary for daily driving IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotoatz Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Just installed the Razors about two weeks ago. I love them. The stock wheels were too busy for me, and honestly the prior owner beat them up pretty badly. Made a total difference in the car. Wrapped with Toyo Proxes 4 Plus all around.......

gotoatz Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Wow looking good Mike ! Where did you find the Razors ? How are you feeling about the improvement over stock rubber as this is next for me as well... Thanks, Matt Hi Matt, American Muscle has the correct offset Shelby Razors now, in 20x9. They are well priced at 204 each for the gunmetal, and include shipping and the center caps. In my opinion, as a daily driver, the difference between the stock Goodyears, and the Toyo Proxes is night and day. I had already replaced rubber all around a few months back, because I was so unhappy with the Goodyears. I had to then buy two new 20's for the front, due to the Razors being 20 inch around. I have two 19 in Toyo Proxes 4 Plus for sale right now for 300 bucks. Perfect condition with less than 3K on them. I have always had excellent service from Toyos. Take care buddy, let me know if you need more info. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motorjock205 Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 I am in the same boat here...I want new wheels, and I'd love to have something with a lip on the outside edge, but it seems it's either 18" or 20" that I find...No one makes a19" in the same style so I can keep the 19" on the front and 20" on the back...Anyone found a set that are available in both 19" and 20"???
