Arrow Foose Nitrous or Shelby Razors ? What looks Best ? ? ? ? ----

I was thinking of maybe switching wheels from the Foose to the Shelby Razors
"Gun Metal" color. Do you think the Razors look better?

And do you think my toyo ST tires will work on the new wheels 255/40/20 Ft.
295/40/20 rear.

I definately say stick with the foose's I think they look better than the razors personally, and so many people have the razors. I saw a Stang with some nitrous' this morning and about flipped, I forgot how good they looked in person.

The Foose wheels are probably the better wheel. I love my Razors but again I wanted them when they were hated. Popularity must mean something though kinda like how the bullits are everywhere. It's not like everyone on this forum lives in the same town.

I think chrome would look 10 times better. Either foose or the razors.

I say keep the Foose rims for sure, but get tires made for a car and springs.

Yeah, I agree. Maybe instead of wheels, invest in springs. But keep the tires, the big meats look great.

Keep the Foose. They look a lot better an are of superior quality. Please don't downgrade to Razors.

Keep the Foose's and put the money instead toward suspension.

And I have to disagree with the Razor's being a downgrade. I looked at both originally and liked their comparable build quality, weight and looks.

I went with the razor's as they could be updated in the registry with the rest of my mods. Now if that was not a factor I might have Foose ones on now.

Seriously? You are considering a change already?
A tad Fickle maybe?

The ONLY worthwhile change would be to lose the 20's and get some performance back by going to 17's, 18's.

I am getting a bit tired of the bandwagon jumping with the "20s kill performance" mantra.

I still am looking for credible statistics on just how much 20s will effect performance. I have seen an Cayenne test where the 20s didn't hurt at all, and actually helped skidpad testing, but that is hardly conclusive either.

Sure, the 20s should hurt performance--but do they in the real world? Is it even noticeable? (and we aren't talking huge, full chrome cast iron bling hoops here either).

This is obviously a daily driver -- does that last 0.0001 really matter? Can't the guy just get good looking wheels and make his car look good in the modern world?
