I've been looking for a while and the only ones I've liked are the shelby cs56 rims but they don't fit the gt500's

If you do a search a few have changed their wheels. However, alot of people actually like the OEM wheels. They are strong and although not the lightest wheels out there they really aren't that bad at 28lbs for a 18X9.5" wheel. More guys are into putting their money into power upgrades.

I currently have Razors on mine, but after all the power upgrades, I need a wider, stickier tire. So, I've got some 20" Tru Forged Chicanes on order. Should be here any day. Now, I just have to decide on a 305 tire.

You don't want 20's then, don't go above 19's. The 20's don't have any sidewall and they will spin terribly.

I talked to Steve@TF yesterday. I think both our wheels were ordered at the same time and he said mine would ship on Tues. How wide are your wheels? I have the nitto 20" DR's in my garage already, just waiting on yhe wheels!

I went with 10.5" rears. I'm leaning towards the Nitto's too.

Nice, I ordered 11's for the rear. Steve said he was gonna post up some pics of the wheels. I cant wait to see what they look like! I run around on the street alot so the Nitto DR IMHO is the best all around tire(wet and dry traction).

20" satin Razors here, rear widened to 10.5" although I should have gone with 11" in the rear. I'm running 20/30/305's now, but the next set will be the 555R Nitto DR's.
