Those look very nice but this is for sure a decrease in performance and ride quality. Though nice ride!
Actually...my wheels weigh LESS than the stock 18's that were on the car. You have to look at the weight of the wheels as some aftermarker 18's weigh more than my 20's too. Now the radius does effect performance...but I never noticed with my mods.

Also, I like the handling better with the 20's...but they are wider than stockers as well so that is probably a big part as well.

Love all the wheels...too bad I can't get extras to switch to day to day. Maybe for my next car!

Milstang - I must say you probably have the best Shelby GT out there. I love the fact that you had SAI do all those mods. It truely embrasses what Shelby was about in the 60's. If I was able to order a Shelby I wouldn't have done it any different than you (well except for black Razors).

Do you have a close up pick of the Redfire G2 caliper color? I have the kit to redo my calipers also.

Thanks Deric! I like it for the most part...just need to get some blue LEDs instead of those stupid green ones.

It is on the list...just concerned my skills are not up to the task.

You asked for the hottest wheels. Well, I don't think you can get much hotter than Hot Wheels (Sixty Eight 18")
