Not the size but the rim. The way the spokes are angled at the top gives the illusion of a small rim.

For example have you see 18" and 20" shelby razors in person? The 20's look like an 18 and the 18's look like 16's.

18's

20's

See what I'm saying now?

Gotcha.

I happen to like the Razors, so it's cool w/ me. I want it to look a little understated so your opinion sounds perfect to me.

I dont care for those either. If you like the razors, why not go with those? I think they are best wheels out right now.

Your car is beautiful by the way.

I don't like anything w/ Shelby's name engraved on it, but mainly they dont come in the sizes I want.

... and thanks.

I am all for the 20" Razors. Here's my attempt at the wheel you posted.

That's pretty cool - thanks!

I wish someone made black chrome or anthracite bullitts in a 19" wheel size, but I like the syle of these too.

Thanks again.

05 GT,

If you don't care for Shelby's name, but like the Razors, check out latemodelrestoration.com and see the American Racing Razor. Man I also think the AE Series 226 would look pretty cool on your car. By the way, the SHR inserts look great on your car.

AR Razor:


American Eagle Series 226:
