I just purchased this 13 GT500. The previous owner kept the drag pack and I'm looking for a change from the stock PP wheels, not looking to go back to drag pack though. It looked good, just not my thing. I am leaning towards the Shelby 50th Anniversary in black. I'm not a big fan of chrome so I am looking for pics of colored wheels on a black w/ red stripe car. Maybe red or black with red accents, something unique. Let's see some ideas!

You could aim to match the finish on your snake badges… like a gunmetal to silver finish.

I thought about this for some contrast. It would be about stock wheel color. I don't usually like all black wheels, they just look right on certain cars. I think they would this too but was hoping for some color flare on the new wheels. And these are factory tires that are now 10 years old, which are not even safe to drive on, so it just sits in the garage waiting. I figure I'll just replace all of it - wheels and tires.

Had you considered a set of base 13 wheels ?

Also check out BC Forged ( www.bcforged.com ), they have many styles of wheels & finishes..
I do like these better than the PP wheels I have now, just looking for something a bit more unique. :cool:

I looked for wheels with a little red in them for a while. All I found had too much. They were gaudy. I’ll stick with the PP until I find the right ones. I’ll know it when I see them.

I really like the looks of my Velgen wheel/tire combo from LMR. I don't know if they are still selling this combo but it works great for the 2013/14 IMO and they are about as wide as you can fit without modifications and you will still likely need an adjustable panhard bar to center them and keep them from rubbing. The rears are 305/30/20.

How about something with red accents along the lines of this…?
