I'm looking at these wheels

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT

I must have looked at a couple hundred wheels and really can't make my mind up 100% but I do like the looks of these. Not a big fan of the bullits so I'm looking for something different. Does anyone have these wheels? Does anyone have any input on how good the quality is on these? The price doesn't seem to bad.
Thanks for looking!

I personally do not have those wheels but i have seen them at a car show. I really liked them other than the fact that they were 20 inch rims. If i didnt already had different wheels for my mustang i would have bought them or a set that was close to the same look. I went with 18x10 inch deep dish bullit wheels on my 07 gt.

Be careful with that rear offset. My Saleens are 20x10 with a 50 offset and they are pretty close to the fender. You will be limited on tire size, probably no more than a 275, but I'm guessing. Just keep it in mind.

Other than that, I think they be badass!

Thanks I was hoping to go with 315/35/20 with a 1.4 drop in back. Say it aint so. lol
I really want to go with 35 series front and back with out spending 400 a piece for rear tires.
I'm looking at 255/35 for the front. Conti's dws I think.

I think they look similar to the AR rouge.

Nice looking wheels. The only downside I see is that they won't allow the Brembo brakes or probably any other big brake kits. I just got a set of 20 in Shelby CS40's and love them but with a nice big wheel like that or the one you are considering you will want to get a nice brake setup you may not want to now but you will once you get them. Also be careful with the 40mm offset when you go to get tires mine are 45mm and they are close with 295/35's in the rear.

I was just going to say the same thing Not too sure about the brand, I have never of them myself. Maybe go with AR Rogues instead? Since we know AR is big name and quality is decent.....I have got the AR Shelby Razors myself with the tire combo that you are thinking of running.

Though if you go with 10 inch wide in the back, 275's seem kind of narrow........255's will fit a 8.5 inch wide rim nicely up front.
