Default 2008 Bullitt Ford GT Chrome vs Ford Racing Chrome Rim

I trashed one of my rims and I need a replacement.

The original rim is a Ford GT Chrome Bullitt Style 18 x 8.5 Rim
Ford Part # 6R3J-1007-AA
18 x 8.5" 50mm offset

I managed to find a rim that looks exactly like the 6R3J Rim but I want to make sure that this is 100% identical. From the picture it does, but so far the dealership has failed to tell me if this part is a valid reference.

The rim is a Ford Racing part (SVT).
Part # M-1007-S1885C
18 x 8.5" 50mm offset

Tire-rack has an excellent picture of it.

Price difference is $400 vs $280 so you can see why I rather have the ford racing one.

They look identical to me. I love the 18" polished bullitts.

I'm pretty sure they're the same, those are my absolute favorite wheels out of any I've seen so I've been scrounging around for them for months.

I've seen them on a Shelby GT in my town (UGH. I was so jealous.) and I drove a GT with them, and they looked quite the same to me. :O

I've got them on my GT (came with the CS package) and I love the way they look. No desire to replace them what-so-ever except that I'd like to find a set of 2 of these rims for the rear that are identical only wider.

Right now about a 245 is all I can go on the 8.5 rims without throwing the tire geometry off.
