Those are the best design tail light that they ever came up with.... The car looks great.

Definitely, like the Raxiom overall design. However, I just can't get past those small dots that surround the halo rings when they illuminate. Otherwise, I'd order a pair for my "06"

Sorry for the large pic. Trying to remember how to post pics and resize them. Been a while.

A couple of new images with OEM GT500 18x9.5" wheels, 45mm offset.

Looks good Rocky. What tires are on there and how's the ride?

New pics for my ride from yesterday, now rocking some 18x10 AMR's with Goodyear 285/40/18 front tires and some 305/40/18 Nitto NT555R's on the rear.
Small 4-5mm spacer on the front.

Thanks, Gabe. For the time being, I'm running the original Goodyear Eagle F1 supercars in 255/45/18 front and 285/40/18 rear. Despite being 11-year-old tires, the friend of mine I bought them from put a total of just 800 miles on them and then stored them away in his bedroom in a temp controlled environment in which they were never exposed to sunlight during the past 10.5 years from having covers put on them. I also spoke with my dealership's technician who did the passenger side airbag replacement 3 days ago and also had him thoroughly inspect the tires, afterward, he recommended keeping a close eye on them looking for any cracks between the tread and bubbling as often as possible, but at least for the time being in his opinion, they at least appear to be in excellent physical condition. So far during the past 6 days of running them, they appear to grip very well at least on dry pavement anyhow. However, I haven't attempted to run them hard nor will I take the risk of driving them in wet conditions. At any rate, I hope they'll hold out for at least the next couple of months or so until I can replace them with new tires On a lighter note, I really like the look and design of your AMR 18x10 wheels, as they look exactly identical to Apex racing wheels IMHO

Looks very good. Ran those wheels on my redfire 2005 and then on my 2013 GT until I found a better wheel for the GHIG paint scheme. And yes the factory 235 tires on the bullets gripped better than those pathetic Goodyears that came stock on the GT500. I replaced them with Nitto 555 series as soon as I could. Heck a bald head would grip better than those goodyears.

The Goodyears are only temporary until I decide on either Continental extreme contact sport in 285/40/18 on all 4 corners or Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 in 275/40/18. I also have Nitto 555 G2's in 275/35/20 on Steeda Spyder 20x9.5 wheels that handle and grip very well but decided to make the switch to 18" that provide a taller sidewall. Until I'm finally able to replace the Goodyears, I'm just going to have to make due the best I can at least for the time being

some mods I made

I hear good things on the Firestones. I got a great deal on G2 555's or I would have gone the Firestone route.

I put the Alcoas back on the wife's Shelby today, she's happier now

They really look good on the car.

I also got a great deal on the Nitto G2's as well, got them as a package with my Steeda Spyder wheels. Everything good I've heard about the Firestones were posted in the tires and wheels subforum.

As much as I really like the "OEM" GT500 wheels, the Alcoa's just look much better and more aggressive IMO, Gabe

Thanks guys, yeah the wife loves them, she is excited to have them back on.
Her car's got the showy look-at-me thing, mine's the stealthy dark thing, lol

Tire about to unseat itself.
