New pics of my 2014 GT500

I'm pretty sure I'm going to get them powder coated gun metal gray.

I am planning on powder coating my set too once I get another GT500 soon. I had these wheels for my 2015 ST powder coated Gun Metal by a shop 10 minutes away from me. Thinking of doing the Base wheels the same color since they came out so nice. Photo does not really show how nice the color is in person.

Thanks man, it's kinda like seeing your Shelbys twin lol, but man it would be badass to get pictures of our Shelbys together.

Yes it would!
I’d like to do Shelbyfest or something in Vegas or even what used to be Knotts Ford show. A west coast tour
You guys both have the right idea as these wheels are awesome but need more dark on certain paint colors.
Here’s my car with the base wheels coated in the stock SVTPP color by the OEM coated. I’m sure local powdercoaters can get very close.

I've always wanted to do Shelbyfest in Vegas also, maybe I'll plan to do that next year

Love your car and Ive always really liked the base wheels. Was actually looking for some when i had my GT500.

However, they just dont compare to those black SS's you had on there before!

I've been looking for base wheels for 3 years, but never could get the right deal done at the right time. OP, your car looks tits!

Honestly that Troy MI shop that bought Fords remaining OEM stock was the hot ticket. $1400ish for brand new base sets was a great buy. It looks like one set left.
Also, FRPP (or just FP now) was selling the front 19x9.5s in black with a machined lip and Ford Racing cap. They were identical to stock ‘13-14 fronts except color and caps. Last little known fact on the ‘13-14 wheels are that base and PP are dimensionally identical except color. Helios Coatings (OEM supplier to SVT on the finish, also contracts with SRT, Infinity, and a few others) even said they used the same process in coating both variations except the darker SVTPP got 2-3 more coats of the color layer.
I still have they’re contact info so if anyone interested let me know as I’m leaning towards having my 6 Weld wheels done in that exact dark SVTPP color for my car.
Sorry for the highjack Stevie

Thanks man, Ebay is probably your best bet for finding a set.

All good buddy, I still might pick up those 2 widened base wheels you have.

I've always thought those base wheels were the nicest OEM wheel offered on the S197. For anyone interested, LMR now offer flowformed reproductions of these now in 19x10 & 19x11.

Yes, just wish they’d make those in 20s.

Great looking car, I like the base wheels better than the Performance packs wheels, and the Sterling Grey and Blue stripe is just a beautiful combination.

Thanks man, and yes the base wheels are probably the best looking factory GT500 wheels out there.

Base wheel FTW. They make dated junk look new and fresh.
