Just ordered up my set of Shelby Razors in Gunmetal! They're now discontinued... Gunmetal is almost impossible to find... Black there are a few sets here and there and same with Chrome.
I had to order one wheel from Jegs, 2 from Summit Racing, and found a "display" model on ebay for my 4th one. That display model has a scratch on its face and didn't come with a center cap so I got if for like 60% off the cost of a new one, but its in perfect shape otherwise, never been mounted to a tire.
I plan on using a two caps from my stock Brembo GT wheels on one side, and 2 Shelby caps on the other side for now, until I source that 4th cap somewhere.
I'm excited!!! Wont be ordering tires or mounting them anytime soon though. I want to do my suspension first... 20" wheels on stock suspension would look more 4x4 than the new Explorers given how ridiculously high the car is from factory.

Stock GT caps didn't work, had to purchase replacement Shelby caps.

Very nice man.
How can you drive your car? The rear wheels stick out 2" past the quarter panels. I'd imagine on any bump the panel would cut into the tire! This is where offsets, PHB, and Watts come into play. I love the wheel design, but dude...dude. Those wheels are not made for a mustang, the offset is waaaay off.

No they are NOT mustang rims and that's what I love about them.. I haven't seen ONE person on the streets with my set up so there for I'm happy with them... And if you look back at older muscle cars their tires stick out past the fender in the rear.
Thanks for your thought tho

Here is my wheel/size info:
GT Legend Wheels
20x9" with +30mm offset on 255/40/20 nittos
20x10" with +38mm offset on 295/35/20 nittos
Car has stock suspension and with the 20s, it rides just as good as with the factory 17s. Absolutely love the set up.

the GT legend wheels are one of the nicest wheels ever made, I did not know that they still make them where did you get them I just damaged one front wheel and would love to buy one instead of repairing mine because nobody can figure out the color.
