another pick a wheel poll

I just cant decide. These are for summer driving around town. I will keep my current wheels for having fun at the track. SO not really worried about weight or width - its all about the look.

EDIT: no matter which wheel i pick, it will be painted black!!!

Pics of my car (with dirty wheels): Wheels are 18x9.5 with 275/45


any help is apprecaited. If you see something you think would look better, please post up a pic.

1. Currently: Drifz NOS (18x9.5)

pic on a stang: http://members.***.net/dirty_5anchez/Stang3.jpg (MY CAR!!)

2. Axis Matrix (19x9.5) - (would have to have them painted black)

pic on a stang: http://www.axiswheels.com/Axis_Wheel...rd_Mustang.jpg

3. Avarus AV3 (19x9.5)


4. CTR (18x10)

pic on a stang (not lowered): http://www.06gt.com/Mustang/Wheels/CTR08.JPG

5. Shelby Razors (20x9) - (would have to have them painted black)

pic on a stang: http://www.btinternet.com/~darren.ward/Mustang2.jpg

6. Shelby Redline (20x8.5 front and 20x10 rear)

I picked the Avarus instead of the Shelby. I don't like the Cobra logo on the Shelby unless you got the HP to back it up.

Those Avarus' look really nice. Even though I'm doing black Razors I picked them.

Since you are planning to powder coat them I say pick the standard Razor if you get them - no need to pay $50 extra for just the Shelby name

You can always put in the tri-bar pony caps in? I know the 99-04 center caps fit in the American Racing/Shelby bullit wheels. The 05+ caps look the same size as the Razors and Redlines?

The Shelby Razors come in black. Shelby Performance Parts sells them and I have seen them at a couple other places.

I guess I'm the minority here... I think the Razors are ugly. Those little ruts (I guess that's what they're called) that go around the wheel make it look off. If they weren't there, the Razors would be on my car...

Yup gotta agree, the razors are nice, but I hate those rivet things on any wheel, just makes it look to busy.

Take the Avarus. They are superior in looks and quality. Razors are cheap and obviosly - they look cheap. Avarus are made by Savini who makes high end three-piece forged luxury wheels for Lambos, Ferraris and Bentleys. The Avarus have a stainless steel lip. I saw them live and against these the Razors look like crap:


This would be my choice in 20" - Avarus AV2
