Concerning the GT500 OEM wheels, are they polished or chrome? I want to buy them for my 07 GT but I don't want chrome wheels...

They are machined finish aluminum (not polished or chromed).

can you go onto Tirerack.com and type in your car and have it display your available wheels?

I beleive you have to stay with at least 18" wheels and just make sure the larger brakes will fit. You can look at whats out there and then call them and make sure they will fit your brakes..

I've seen up to 22 inch wheels fit, although they look a little big in the front. 20 inchers look the best in the front if you want to go big, and I've seen up to 11 inch wide wheels in the rear.
You'll need an adjustable panhard bar if you lower the rear and put wide wheels.
People say the stock GT500 are ugly, but I think they look WAY better than the stock GT500KR wheels.
