Wheel opinions needed
I am finally look to purchase some wheels to finish off the look of my car. I am thinking about getting the chrome deep dish bullits or the chrome shelby torq thrusts. Im looking to get either in 18'. I know they look pretty similar but am just wondering what the general consensus is. What exactly are the differences between the 2? And which ones to you guys think look better? I know the shelbys are a little more expensive, but if the quality and look is better im willing to spend a little more. Intially I was leaning towards black wheels, but I like the standout quality of the chrome, since everything else on my car is black

Since both of those options are just copies of the original, why not get the original Cragar S/S wheels? Well, if you want the real McCoy anyway. Had a set on our 05GT and they looked great! got lots of comments from folks that did not know you could get Cragar S/S wheels to fit modern cars......

2071.95 at cjponyparts with bfg/kdw tires 255/45/18 upfront and 285/40/18 outback. They sell the Nittos at a better price, but I need something that can handle the wet stuff since I live in vancouver.

Chrome Razors on a black would look pretty darn nice.

Oh and I would love Razors, but in 18's I dont think they look as good as they do in 20

Well I have have to wait about 4 6 weeks for the wheels the rims have to come up form the states, and I believe the rubber is here in BC. Having said that I dont have a pic for you. Tire trends is in Van. I started to order the set up from 1010 tires, but they quoted about 400 bucks more. HMM. When I get the wheels I will be posting all over the place HAHAHA..... too excited. Toyo rubber is a sport truck "R" rated tread, I dont want to run performance tires in the wet coast weather ya know. So for the every day driver I felt this would be the best option. The toyo give me the spec's (255/45 front & 295/45 back) I want with all season tread. The tread is a little aggessive looking and will blend with the over all look I'm after. The rating in very similar to the BFgoodies. I currently have the stock BF goodrich G Force TA's.
Hope this helps
