Wheel suggestions?
 
I currently have stock (17 inch) and here is the current picture:

I am looking to buy 18 inch. I was look at the Chrome Shelby Mustang GT500 Wheel - 2005+ (18x9.5). Here is a picture of some dude who has them:

Any other rim suggestions for my black mustang gt 07?

Worth the upgrade huh? Would be about $1500 for the ones above (both 4 wheels, and 4 tires)

P.S.. followup question:

Couldn't I sell my current wheels after buying new ones? how much could I get? I currently have P235/55ZR 17inch Z-Tires.. with.. 17 Premium Painted Cast Aluminum wheels. They have 10,000 miles on them.

Nice looking car.. Wheels and tires are a personal thing really? Everyone has their own look they like. I personally love anything with 5 spokes.. Especially anything that looks like the old torq thrusts or Halibrand's with knock-offs from an AC Cobra. Even wheel sizes will draw a debate? You can go all the way up to 20 and still look good (keep the rotating mass in mind, it will impact acceleration and decrease brake effectiveness)....You can create a garage at the Tirerack.com and it will give you a picture of your car and you can try different wheels (that they sell) to see what they would look like.. Or you can do a straight side shot and do some diff photo chops.. It's a big investment, so just make sure you like them... and yes, you can always sell them if you want a change. You could probably get $4-500 for what you have on there now..

theres a ton of wheels that i see on s197 cars that i like. just have to search the web to see what you like.

your wheels are worth a little, but not much.

A few hundred bucks maybe up to 450 or so. I wouldn't expect too much since that isn't an incredibly popular wheel style and takeoff bullitts can be had brand new for around 600-650.
Is your car an auto or stick?
If you want looks, 20's look freaking awesome on the new stangs.
If you are more into speed and performance i wouldn't recommend any bigger than 18's.
(Or if you're real dedicated, get some 20's for the street and some 15's W/ sticky tires for the strip)

Edit: oh an you should definitely look into something with a deep dish. And IMO GT's deserve a 10 inch rim out back
