I took the wheels off to clean them before winter layup.

A little survey for wheel Wednesday.
I think I know what the result will be but will get it confirmed.

I have two sets of wheels for my 06.
-07 to 09 GT500 wheels
-2010 GT500 wheels

I’m currently running the 2010 wheels because tires on them are newer and more rubber.
Have used the 07-09 wheels for track days in last few days.

Which ones do you think look better?

07 - 09 wheels?



2010 wheels?

For me, the 2010 .....................

 

[Rich06]

I'm partial to the 2010 ones

Tough call....granted, the '07 to '09's are period correct for the '06, but my own personal preference would lean toward the '10's as well.

I think the '10's won out due to a closer resemblance to a five spoke wheel, and also the gun metal finish over the clear coated aluminum finish.

One of the best swaps I did on my '06 was getting some FRPP chrome five spokes and replacing the aluminum originals.

Looked exactly the same, but a different finish.

Thanks for the responses guys. ?

 

[SVT4MT]

Speaking of which....

Nice! ?

 

[SVT4MT]

Thanks Marc, loved those wheels.

Just noticed I had four new tires too.... BFG KDW2's I believe.

 

[67 AGAIN]

Ho yah.
I remember those.
Good tire.
Wonder why they stopped making it?

When I thanked the first three guys for their feedback above, I did not mean to signal the end of the survey.

I’m still welcoming input.

Will reveal later if it coincides with what I thought would happen.

I am 50/50 on the wheels,
I like the 500 wheels
but the 5 spoke trimmed in black
look better on the car.

To be honest I would be good with either.

Put two of one set on the drivers side and two of the other set on the passenger side. Nobody will know unless they walk around the car.
