Arrow New Carroll Shelby CS67 wheels installed

Got my wheels in today and I couldn't be happier. They are CS67 18x8.5 with 255/45 tires on the front and 18x9.5 with 285/40 tires on the rear. Not sure why the rear is sitting high, maybe is the uneven ground.

Looks really good Rich. I didn't think you could make it look any better but you have.

I agree. Now it's even better!


Great choice on wheels. Would have never figured it for your set-up

Looks good. How does the anthracite match/contrast with the Mineral Gray in person? Going to need to put your wheels on my car just to see how it looks.

Does the offset seem any different than the Racelines? Does the tire/wheel stick out any less on the rears than before?

Anthracite matches very well with Mineral Grey and would probably be fine with Tungsten too. More lip on the rear wheel so it does have the "staggered" look. As far as it sticking out more than the Racelines, I would say it's about the same. The rubber comes right to the edge looking straight down from the hip.

Thanks for the compliments folks, I appreciate it.

Hey Rich, LOOKING SWEET DUDE!!! You know I love those wheels (see my sig) . I've had them for over a year and a half and still smile when I see them on my car!! I get compliments at shows all the time, as no one runs these! Thing was, I had to wait over a year for them, as when I got my car back in January of 2006, the 20" ones were the only ones available at 1st, but it was SO WORTH THE WAIT!! Once I got and installed them, I was in love once I saw them on my car!! I'll probably get another set as spares soon. Are you sticking with the Red CS centercaps, or are you gonna order the Blue ones?

Rich, those look great on your car and definitely compliment the color/style. Now on with my decision, but am really starting to lean towards the CS69's in Athracite. The only caveat is the 69s only come in one width (9.5) for the 18s, so not able to get a "real" stagered look (even though I can still go with 255 Front, 285 rears). But after seeing yours, liking the 67s as well.

Decisions, decisions... but all part of the fun!

GREAT CHOICE! They looked fantastic. The perfect choice for your car. It has a real low key tough look.

I have been debating whether or not to get the Chrome CS66's for my ride, but they are a little too costly. I have been hoping the prices would come down. Where did you order yours from?

I can get a set of the spinners here locally. How do you think they would look? BTW they are blue where the current caps are red.

I vote on PASS for the spinners. I think it would just be too much and doesn't fit with the original GT350 wheels of the era. I had spinners on my Mag 500s for a while and am glad I took them off. It is a rarer look but no so correct.

I think I will pass on the spinners. I'm always afraid that my car might be alittle too overdone. Pretty happy with where it's at right now. Thanks again for the comments.
