Default Where to buy Black Machined GT500 wheels?

I'm looking for 17" GT500 wheels. I found some at American Muscle, but they are 18's and I'd prefer 17's if I can get them.

Here are the ones I found (except they are 18's) http://www.americanmuscle.com/18x95-...-machined.html

I love the look of these ones but I just need 17's. Anyone know where to get them?

The stock gt500 uses 18, so I haven't seen them smaller anywhere. Good luck....

I was hoping they would be a little darker, (actually black, that would look hot in my opinion) instead of a gunmetal color. I don't think you'll be able to find them in a lower size, if anything you might be able to find them in a larger size. I lucked up and found a set of 17s on E-bay but they are a 4 lug pattern and very bright (chrome).

Well, I may just end up getting the 18's. I'm still on the fence though about if I want to get them, I guess I will have to photoshop them onto a pic of my car.

Anyone know of any other places to get these? Or maybe where I can get some pony center caps?

Hawk07v6, you may be in luck my friend. I found a website that has GT500 replicas in a 17 inch wheel. They only come in chrome so depending on what you are looking for in a wheel that may or may not be a benefit for you.

Here are two links to the wheels I'm referring to. They're the same wheel but have different offsets and backspacing.

Hope these work for you.

Thanks for the links, but I saw the chromes installed and they just didn't do it for me.

After doing some more looking I found some 17" Mach 1's. I've been looking for these for a while and now they apparently make them.

http://www.americanmuscle.com/17x9-2...inedblack.html

Only question is: Would the stock tire (the pirelli 235/55/17) fit? If not, what size tire should I get and what tire do you recommend? Like I said, if at all possible I want to get some more use out of the stockers.

They would fit but it would look a bit silly with the tire almost hiding on the rim...

It's cool man, I'm not much of a chrome/flash kind of guy myself. I still got my eye on a set of machined silver (and black) 18" Mach 1 wheels that I plan to pick up as soon as I burn the rubber off the 16s. Those Mach 1 replicas on the American Muscle website would look good on your car.

I think I'll get them and just get some good tires for them. I'll see if I can sell my pirellis and get a little credit for them. I am going to buy a set of snow tires and put them on my stock bullitt rims.

Whats a good size tire for 17x9's?.

It differs with brand, you wanna match the overall height of the stocker is you can...

I have 275/45/17 on my drag 17x9's and those are a bit lower overall than stock, but that's ET's...
