Ended up with NICHE M130's 19X8.5 35mm offset. For those who wonder, the factory 19X8.5 wheel weight was almost 31 lbs, the new wheels were just over 26lbs.




 
Nice wheels. Post up some pictures when you get them on.

I put an identical wheel on my '05 GTO from VMR.  I was thinking they would look good on SHO as well. 
 
 
Went with the stock size 19X8.5.  Got them at tire rack. Just over $1100 shipped. Info says 23lbs for this size. They are out of stock so it will be a few weeks before I get them. Will update with pics and actual,weight. Almost went with tsw Nurburgring but these were less $ and not much more weight but we'll see when they get here.

I looked at those but didn't like them on some cars I searched for. Looks a little to  (aftermarket) to me. I wanted something that looked like it could have been a stock wheel if that makes sense.

If you need TPMS sensors for the wheels think Rock auto has some great deals and best of luck with the new wheels.  Z      http://www.rockauto.com/RSS/vehiclefeeds.php?carcode=1503823&m=wc&l=en&html=true

They should look great and very lightweight compared to stock. I've always liked the Nurburgring's as well but too expensive for me too. Looking forward to seeing these mounted!
 
What do you guys think of this color instead. My sho is tuxedo black and really wanted the black but they are on back order with no eta. They have the hyper silver in stock which I think would look good also. Stay with black and wait or does the hyper silver go well with the black car. Kinda thinking the black wheel thing is starting to run its course but still like the look.

Hyper silver would look better with the black car, but that's my opinion. If you want the black wheel then you should wait, otherwise you might not be happy.
 
Beautiful!  I have been eyeing the Niche Vicenza's for my Lincoln.  Like the Targa's better, but think the Vicenza's may be better for an MKS.
 
Well got the wheels today but just my luck they sent the wrong hub rings and not all the lug nuts were the same size. Guess it will be a few more days to get all the right parts but will get a pic up as soon as I get them on.
