20x9 Shelby Razors - FINALLY *pics*

Hey Guys. After a solid five week wait, my razors finally came in.

I decided to wrap them in some Dunlop SP SportMaxx (255/35ZR20).

I think this is a pretty solid look for my car. I'll look to get the windows tinted and maybe some bigger breaks sometime in the near future.

(If you would like some different/better pics, just let me know)

Thanks!

Thanks guys. BTW, do you have any suggestions on tint? I was thinking of going with a light silver-ish (titanium?) tint , but...

1) I don't want to necessairly throw taste out the window if it's too much bling.

2) I understand that type of tint is supposed to get pretty fragile after about a year..

What say you?

Try V-kool (www.v-kool.com). It’s got the highest heat rejection of anything on the market. Its guaranteed for 5 years against peeling, cracking, scratching, bubbling, discoloration, etc... Just make sure to get some moleskin for your weather channel. I didn't do that and got my tinting horribly scratched within a week. Luckily they replaced it under warranty once I installed the moleskin. It’s very pricey ($500 for my vert) because it uses gold, silver, titanium, platinum and three other metals to achieve its very impressive results. Word of caution: It turns the car into a Faraday cage with no signal filtering in for SatNavs or radar detectors.

nice. They are my choice when I get some cash also. A tip if I may when you take pics of your car make sure the shadow is on the other side of the car.

- I know the shadowing loses a lot of definition. I just wanted to snap a few pics (in the daylight) before heading to work in the morning. I'll definitly pay attention to that next time. Thanks.

- That was my original plan. Well, actually 20x8.5 on 255 (front) 20x10 on 285 (rear). However the wheels I was oringinally shooting for were out of stock for months, and I became more attached to the razors. To answer your question... Since the rims were the same size, I decided to opt for tire rotations with such expensive tires.. Now, if they come out with a 20x10 razor, it's a whole new ballgame.

- Thanks, Chris. Yes, 40mm offset. When they first mounted them I thought it was inset into the wheel well too far. However, if I went with a different offset (+16?) I think it would have been too far in the other direction. So, I think this offset works out quite well.

I'll look into that brand here in the Bay Area. My Valentine1 will definitely not approve, but that's not the end of the world Thanks again.
