These are my winter wheels and tires...what do you guys think?  I like the silver polished better...but at least I know my winters from my summers!

Really nice. Red Pony calipers and it would be the best looking Shelby on the streets. I have been trying to convince my Dad the same thing.Hes got a Shelby GT also. Nice Car. Yours looks better.

polished wheels flow with the white and silver much better.....but the black gives it more of a muscular look....thats a tough call.

Looks like the silver's are cruising wheels and the black is when your headed to the track look................

I thought the black would look better, but I have to go with polished with the silver stripes on white.

I think Ed hit it on the head....the silvers are more suited for street / show / cruising, while the blacks are a more racey look.  Funny how after a couple of weeks the looks of the blacks are really growing on me.

Blacks look good but so do the polished alum. (or are they chrome?) When you are in the mood for a change just switch. Hardly anything I don't like on these cars... well some.

What a rip off! You paid around $40K for a Shelby GT, with the exact same 18" Bullitts as my GT and didn't get a jack or lug nut wrench(which my car has, including the spare saver too). What a shame....................

I understand the GT500 having the inflater kit, staggered tire sizes & very wide-285 section rear tires and 14" front brakes make it difficult to package a spare saver for it. The Shelby GT has the exact sized tires/wheels front & rear(optional on the regular GT, which have a spare saver/jack/lug wrench). If I bought a Shelby GT I would demand a spare saver/jack/lug wrench. Do you Shelby GT owners think because of the car's lowered stance that that might be Ford's excuse to not include these pieces? My car is lowered(not as much up front as the Shelby GT though) and it doesn't suffer from any fouling by the jack on the frame rails(one of the things I checked after getting dropped springs).
