ok i am down to two choices.

steeda ultra lite 2's




Or OE fanblades. looks like i might get a great deal on a used set of these.



i am just having a tough time making a decision.

 

Do the ultra lites in chrome!

 

Of the 2, I would choose Steeda

 

I agree.

 

If your going for performance I'd say Steeda. If your going for looks I'd say fanblades. If it was my car I'd choose fanblades.

 

i do not know what i would do without my fanblades, they look so good it is hard to let them go

 

Yup, me too. The wheel I originally hated but now love to death I guess wheels all depend on the 'theme' of the car. This car is going to be on the down-low and modern, GT500 nose and lowered with the FRPP suspension pack. Every other single mod I do will be hidden by the hood(except the two piece rotors, but calipers will be gunmetal or silver). If you are going to go flashy, then probably a flashy wheel will be better, but ultralites are nowhere near the top of my style list.

 

Go for the 'Blades, but get the rears widened to 10-10.5". Ultimate in stealth/sleeper.

 

thanks but i really dont like chrome wheels. probably what i would do is have silver ones blasted and powdercoat them like the american muscle hypersilver look. I just dont think chrome wheels belong on sporty cars. or for me, any car i will ever own.

i dont really have a theme. i am just doing stuff that i think looks clean and good. i like a euro style i guess, lean and clean, smooth lines and understated wheels, i know this is shooting myself in the foot when it comes to car shows, but i dont care, its the way i like it. but yeah there are no "tributes" or "clones" or anything. i just want the car the way i like it.

if i got fanblades there is one certain tire that i would want and it doesnt come wide enough for the need to widen my wheels. besides i just dont like the idea of having a wheel widened. except maybe a corrado steely on a VW, because they look cool


thanks for the comments guys, i am seriously leaning toward steedas, however i ahve an awesome deal coming my way on the blades. so we'll see in a couple months. If anyone has any other suggestions on somehting similar ot this, i am open to ideas.

 

I have to say, I love my Steeda Ultralites. Go with the Steeda's!

 

I say FANBLADES! Only because I have a set with 6000 miles on them that I'll probably be selling soon. I'm selling cus I have some A.R. Razors on the way.

 

Joe, you can't go wrong with either wheel. But I've seen your car. And don't laugh, but because you have the Red interior... I'd say Fanblades. And I drive a Steeda clone... but you know this already. I like the way the Fanblades hide the disc brakes. JMO.

 

let me know when you are getting rid of them, we'll see if we can work something out. where are you located?

thanks stan. i understand where you are coming from. I like to show off brakes actually. If these cars had rear drums i would try to hide them. But anyway. i think you'll like my idea for the fanblades.. get some nitto ntrd1's for them


keep with the red. however i believe these tires would also fit the steedas.

 

I live in Plymouth, MN. 55441. Just 15 minutes from downtown Minneapolis. I still need to figure out some things on my end though. Like how much to charge. I won't be getting my razors for a few days too.

 

its all good man, honestly if i get the fanblades i am going to buy them from 05fordGT on these boards, he is local, and i'll get them without tires (which i prefer)

thanks though

 

Now THATS a killer wheel. Shelby also sells the same wheel in gunmetal finish.

 

if you dont have anything nice to say dont say anything at all.... is all i have to say about razors.

 

I love that tread pattern. And I would probably go with the fanblades of those 2. The Steedas just are too thin for me. Great if you are going for performance, but for straight looks I would say the fanblades.

 

eh, i always side to performance

 

Then spend more money on peformance mods and skip the wheels for now...
