Clark Kent

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

come on guys help a brother out

I say flip a coin they both look great .... the shelby's may be a little better on the quality as you stated.

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......

Twin Turbo

Both look great, but the Shelby's win.

+1 Shelby's are sweet!

This sight is offering some great deals with Nittos.

I had the same issue I ordered American Racing torq thurst ... there is just something about them I have to wait 6 8 weeks for delivery.

Clark Kent

so are those just shelby replicas than? and how much you get them for?

Everybody and their dog has chrome bullitt's, get something else.

Clark Kent

i know but I dont think that cahnges the fact they are nice wheels that look great on our cars. However, I am open to any suggestions. Can you suggest other 18' wheels that look nice

Poco

Chrome Razors on a black would look pretty darn nice.

$285 per corner. I purchased the AR torq thrust type M rims.

I love Foose rims and these AR's where my second choice, I like them cuz, something is very similar to the foose.

I cant wait..

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.

Clark Kent

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

I ordered mine from Tire Trends rims and toyyo rubber all in at &2300

here ia a pic

Clark Kent

first tiretrends is a canadian site right, and therefore no duty for shipping from the states? also are the toyo's of better or worse quality than the bfg's

Clark Kent

also bro do you have any pics of your car so I can see how the wheels look since you also have a black stang

cheekie

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
