My GT is currently the only vehicle in my barn with stock shoes...she's feeling quite dejected these days and I'm worried she'll toss a curse on me if she doesn't get new shoes. Already had my Z06 do that to me when the Viper got wheels, and she was still stock...I won't forget that outcome. She now goes by the name "Christine". Can't have that happen again -

Need to find wheels for the GT and have been racking my brains on this one.

I want a deep lip, 13" rear, 8.5" front minimum and 20" all around. I'll deal with the suspension geometry once I've got the wheels, so not too worried about that. I already have ADV1.10's Forgeline ZX3P's, and a few others on other vehicles, and much as I love them all, won't fashion repeat from car to car.

Show me what y'all have for hot wheels so I can get some ideas, please!
 
HRE wheel, Someone else figured out all the geometry for the added widths

I have both factory sets and thought the upgraded wheels look great - well until someone put them on a Toyota minitruck!!!!!!!!
Not mentioning any names here but his son has the same name and tours the set of CSI. :biggrin
 
I have the upgraded wheels - now I want some real wheels!
 
Check out this recent thread on "SAVINI"...I've got two sets from them and they rock!

You can customize the finishing and paint in many, many ways on their rims. And they have a ton of styles. My current set has one-piece machined aluminum with a real carbon fiber, overlaid lip. Centers were kept all black, with the exception of a real thin outline of orange to match the current 'wrap' on my GT.
 
If you want a deep lip, the HREs SW has on his car are gorgeous. They're in the side stripe delete thread.

I like his so much, I got a similar spoke design but I got one piece/monoblock and slightly concave.

SW is the "wheel king"
 
I'm actually now looking at these in a deep concave - 3 piece.

Those wheels will look fantastic!!!
 
I may be the exception here but I think the BBS wheels look awesome. The only reason I would contemplate a change is based on future tire availability. Either way, good luck with your search.

+ 1. If Ford had selected something else as stock, guys would be switching to these.

Yep, those are hot and would be my choice for sure... how much ?
 
For a set of 20" all around riding on the PS2's with a 335/30/20 rear...they want 10k shipped. Now, Michelin just came out with a 345/30/20, which would get me to the exact same rolling height as stock, but they don't have matching front tires...so I'd have to go with the 335's and lower a bit. Not sure yet what I want to do, or if I want to go with brushed aluminum, polished, or just satin black. I wish I could actually see the wheels on a photochop in black, or even these in black on a white/blue GT, just to see what white/blue with black wheels looks like. Also looking at an offset which would get the fattest part of the tires about 1/8" past the fenders. I want an aggressive stance.

From what I have seen, iForged has the most aggressive rear stance.

A 345/30/20 will still have a much smaller diameter than stock.
