Arrow Wheel Opinions Needed

I was thinking about changing wheels for deep dish. I like the Raceline's but they don't have much of a lip. Let me know what you think I should do. BTW if you vote for the deep dish wheels please send me $10 to help pay for them.

I added MTAS car for comparison.

I went with the greys because you can always powder coat them black if you dont like them.

You should buy the Shelby CS67s so that when you want to change out the wheels in a few months I can get them off you for cheap. Anthracite please in 18"!!

Stick with what you have. But if you really must get a new set go for the Shelby Redlines which are similar to your rims but deep dished.

Bullits are really common, they look awesome though. I had a set and just recently swapped them out for C69's. If you decided to get the bullits (not sure what size your after?). My old set of rims/tires are for sale in the "for sale section". PM if you interested in a good price

But again to answer your question. Love your current rims

Well the tires are brand new so I am sticking with 18 inch wheels 18/9 front and 18/10 in the rear.

I kind of like the offsetting color with gray/black cars.

I am in a similar delimma and debating what to put on my Alloy ragtop (the silver 17's got to go). Black is too much, but anthracite is really starting to grow on me - like CS69's. The tough part is, unless you know someone that has a wheel place where can get a real view of what they look like installed (or find another car similar to yours with the same wheel), makes the choice that much tougher.

Good luck!

No, I said the CS67s!!! I don't want to buy the 66s off you in 3 months when you tire of them.

How about this one? Tuff call between the CS66 and the CS67 but I do think that I like the CS67 better.

so, did you pick one out yet? If so, looking forward to pictures as both 66 and 67s are on my short list... and seeing them on another mustang would help!
