I am looking at buying Raceline GT wheels 20x8.5 front and 20x10 rear. Do any of you have them on your car, are you happy? and do you have photos. Thanks

Here is a picture of them I took at the Dream Cruise. This is the MRT Interceptor.

I love those wheels, but I just can't see myself buying 20's

Thanks for the Photo. Are you worried about the ride or cost of the 20's

not so much the cost, but the appearance. I don't want it to appear "blinged" out I guess is the word. Even though I think it looks cool as heck, I don't want to make it look "ghetto"

Not to show my age but I have seen the same wheels on Mustangs for the past 30 years. American Racing torque thrusters. Im looking for a new Clean look. What kind of wheels do you have on your car?. The only concern that I have with the 20's are the ride quality.

There are Raceline GT replicas available. OEwheelsdirect.com has them (their #340). 18 and 20" with 8.5 and 10" widths. The 10's are a 45mm offset that should fit front AND rear. They told me yesterday that they'll be in hand in 3 weeks. Anthracite and chrome- I think. I'm seriously considering the 20x10's all around in Anthracite with 275/35's. It'll throw the speedo off just a bit, but I need to fill the wheel wells 'cuz I can't lower it

The raceline ones are the only 20's that look good on the Mustang IMO, saw one at the dealership with them and they really look great. However at $400.00 a rim, just way out of my league.

If I did have that kind of disposable income I'd get the 18's though, the 20's look nice but the 18's look more at home on the car.

Get the black chrome type and they wont look blingy at all, really a sharp design.
