I think I have finally found the "right wheel" for my Torch Red GT. This wheel, 18x9 in the front and 18x10.5 in the back. 45s and 40s for a staggered look. Sitting on BF Goodrich g-force T/A KDW tires. Opinions?

This is the tire: (ignore the wheel) Killer tread pattern, no?

I currently have the SSR GT1 on my Lexus IS300 (BTW, that is what I am getting rid of once i get my '05 GT). Mine are 17". The only thing that is a drawback with these wheels, is how much of the brakes you see. If you have weak looking brakes, they will really stand out.

This is my car...

Yum, SSR GT3 wheels are nice. I've seen a few 03 Cobras with those wheels. I've considered them myself, but they are a tad more expensive than I'm willing to spend on wheels :). Nice wheels though.

I like the look of them. I was thinking, concerning your mentioning of the brakes showing too much (which I can see and do agree with you), that the Mustang's brakes are a little beefier and would look okay, but it's hard to tell. What do you think about the 05 brakes sitting behind this wheel?

PS - Nice baby seat in the back! Your child is riding around in style on those tires and rims!!! :D
