Thank you Torch Red is very hard to get right. With TR, you gotta get the white balance right, along with the exposure. Both are crucial for this color.

If you were closer, I'd gladly give you a good deal on some photography.

mustangman 1960, car looks good with those wheels and the red lines, but to me that retro look needs a taller tire, but that is just me

Car looks awesome. Cali's look so good in white, you see lower bumper and diffuser in back. Love the stripes and nice touch with black out panel. Very cherry car Hoosier.

these are very nice, I'm thinking about getting them, but I'm not a fan of the chrome spinner. Any site that has these without it?

Did you post pics of these yet? Do you know how much they weigh?

Actually, as posted in the other wheel thread....

My Shelby Razors weigh LESS than the stock 18 wheels and less than some of the aftermarker 18's. I drove my Shelby GT before they wheels were added and I like the handling more with the 20's in the turns...now with the larger radius it will take more to turn the wheels but I alleviated that issue with a S/C.
