Shelby Redlines vs. Raceline GTs

What exactly is the difference? Price wise, and available finish wise?

Thanks!

From what I can tell, the Raceline wheels are a 2 piece design while the AR Redline's are a 1 piece design. The Racelines run about 100 - 200 dollars more per wheel than the Redlines. The Racelines can be ordered in many different and custom finishes.

Poco Pmed me and said that AR dropped the Anthracite/Gunmetal finish for the Redlines which is bad for me if I need a replacement rim.....

You can get the Shelby stamped Redlines in anthracite,but not the AR version. Its the same darn wheel but Shelby has the rights to that anthracite.
The Raaceline GT are forged...at $350.00 to $500.00 a wheel they better be.

I just bought a set of polished Raceline's from Discount tire. Forged 2 piece wheel and have a 44 offset front and rear. Front were $325 each 18X9 and the Rear were $350 each 18X10. Raceline misquoted the price to my guy at Discount tire but they stood behind it so you are probably looking at another $100 for the set. I hope this helps.

BTW the Raceline spinners that I saw listed on another website were $309 for a set of four. I didn't ask about the spinners when I ordered the wheels but I know a guy that has them and they are a very high quality spinners. I would be worried about someone stealing them because they just attach to the wheel with an o-ring just like my center caps.

I thought your car in your avatar looked different. From what I see, looks good. You really have the Gone in Sixty Seconds look going on... That's one of the reasons I bought the Redlines.
