I have a base model GT and wanted to upgrade wheels. Saw a few other people use OE Wheels LLC with success, so figured for the price i would give it a shot.

$299 for four wheels, 19x10 rear, 19x8.5 front, 35 mm offset both front and rear. I went with a 275/40/19 rear and 245/45/19 front. I think they make the car look the way it should from the factory to be honest.

I had the tires mounted at tire rack, and they checked runout before mounting, all wheels were arrow straight, balanced with very little weights needed.

Honestly yes I am. Having tire rack spin them and find that there were no structural/casting imperfections was definitely what made me feel decent about them. They are solid from what I can tell.

They balanced out great. Test drove it on an open road to XXX speed and it was smooth the entire time.

The only drawback about them, is that i was not able to re-use my center caps from my 18 inch wheels. The ones they provide have the OE Wheels logo on them, so i painted them black and solved that issue.

Too bright for my taste, BUT it is a refreshing change from "How do you like my BLACK wheels"?:thumbsup:

Right. I like the black wheels, but I wanted something different. It definitely changes the way the car looks!

Thanks! I figured it was worth a shot. So far I am happy with them

Can you get a straight side shot of the front wheels, showing the caliper clearance? Wondering if their 18x10 will fit. Looks like it will.

Guess it’s not dirt, condensation formed all over the whole car because of how rainy/humid it’s been the last few days.

The website says won’t fit with Brembo brakes. That means performance pack GTs can’t use theses, dang it.

I wouldn't be so sure. Looking at the side shot, it seems there's enough clearance. It'll definitely be tight for sure, but I bet they fit.

Their listing says factory centercaps fit. Are the caps from your 18" wheels different than the GTPP caps?

Very well could be. The centercaps that come with the new wheels are about 2 1/4 bore diameter, and 2 1/2 inch face. My center caps on the 18's are (guessing) probably 1 3/4 bore and a 2 inch face.
