Same here. My dilemna is choosing between the gunmetal shelby's or the silver ones. I'm not sure how the shelby's would look on white. Anyone has seen a picture of that combo?

Anyone have a photo of the gunmetal razors on sonic or vista blue?
The stock AR photo in the post above almost looks black.

Glenn, the best prices I have found are on ebay. I personally don't trust many ebay sellers with that kind of money, so as far as a reputable vendor, Sumitt racing, they have free shipping and I know if I have a problem with anything that it will be taken care of.

You guys with the 18" rims. Is the 24 offset ok for us. Thought we needed a little higher than that?

Info appreciated.

I have the 18x9 Shelby’s with 24 mm offset as that was all they made when I got mine. The fit is fine and I kind of like the way they are flush with the fender edge. I think the 40mm would be a better bet for our cars though. Here are a couple of pics.

The cheapest I've found is here

I haven't ordered from them since the 20x9 is on backorder but they claim to have free shipping.

I just bought the 20 X 9 (+24 offset) version of the Shelby Razor's for my wife's 06 Redfire GT and they look amazing. We went with the Nitto NT555 all around in 255/35/20. The rears look like they could use another couple of mm of offset but I feel they look good as they are too...

Here are some pics:

I'm also waiting to see when the +40 offset wheels become available. Would I be able to fit 275 tires on the front and rear with +40 offset? It seems that with the +24s that 255 is the widest.

I do have 265/35/20's all the way around with the 24mm offset. The tires do stick out a little from the fender. The car's lowered with Steeda Ultra lites. So far no rubbing.

Question Shelby Razors & GT500 Front Brake Kit

Would these wheels in 18x9 work with these brakes?
Looking to purchase some wheels soon.

Those are great looking wheels! And the 20x9's for only $210each isn't too painful either

Shelby has them but they are expensive. I'm ordering a normal set and having them painted or powdercoated black. Here's a photoshop I did of another members car to show what they would look like plus some other things I wanted to try.
