http://images.google.com/imgres?imgu...3Doff%26sa%3DN


i cant make my mind up on what wheels i want, but i stumbled on these and they are decently priced.

i love the gt40 look.

it would probably be between these and the cs-69's

i just dont know if i wanna pay 1200 for shelby wheels, i wanna be fully happy with the wheels i buy and i cant say i would be

so im torn! i also thought about some mach 1 look alike's like the afs wheels or whatever

let me know what you guys think.

Hummm never heard of them but it looks like a foreign wheel manufacturer. If your considering Shelby CS69's then save a lillte more and get that. The Shebly line is in a diffrent league compared to the CTR wheel. I think long term your Shelby decision is the right thing to do, at heart I think you already know that

Yeah, I might have heard of them.

I absolutely love the design of the wheels. I talked to John at CTR and he was great to work with. I don't really have anything negative to say about CTR. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from them.

If you would like more pictures, I have tons of them on my Photobucket.

they are pretty much an exact replica of the gt40 wheels, which cost 950 a piece for the ford ones...

Stoenr has those wheels on his car. I'm pretty sure that he is happy with them.

I like the Shelby's too, but I actually like the design of the CTRs more and they are, of course, cheaper. It was really a no-brainer for me.

As for the Ford GT wheels, I would love to have the real ones but they are pretty ridiculously priced. I just got the next best thing for me.

i love the look of the gt40s but i know the shelby rims are a higher class and would really accent the car well....

but the ctr rims just look wicked

Love em! No regrets. I did my order via eBay with John and it was a little less than the website directly.

Received one with a scratch on it, he sent a replacement out right away with a return call tag for the damaged one.

They did not call for a crazy amount of weight to be balanced, ran true.
The stock center caps fit, but I guess they don't sit flush like the CT-R caps do.
I will leave the CT-R caps on.

And you can fit your hand thru to clean the behind the spokes

They are pretty easy to clean compared to other rims. John was great when I spoke to him over the phone and through email.
