I would have bought them had they been offered in 18". I emailed them a while back and they said they wouldn't offer them in an 18" size so I bought the Konig Beyonds instead. I think the 20s are way to big. They don't stretch out to that size very well I don't think.

My First Question was about Producing an 18" Wheel! My Second was will they Clear GT-500 Brembo Front Brakes.

How about 18" Aluminum Slots with S197 offset? That's retro and I would love to buy a set of those ....

I think they're cool, but they look they weigh a ton. Lately I've been concerned with the whole "rotating mass" and "unsprung weight" thing.
Would I consider them? yes. Would I buy them? probably not.

I like the wheels and would buy a set when I am ready for that upgrade on my car (have some other items on the upgrade list to get thru first). The only issue is I would be looking for 18's, center cap needs to be a different color, other then red and blue, since the colors in the pic's would not match the Grabber Orange and black theme I have going and they would need to clear the bigger brake system.

I predicted the 18" Wheels would be Most popular and So far It holds to be true. I believe The Company will be sending me a Display Wheel to Check Clearances on Gt-500 and Roush Big brake Packages! Stay Tuned!

Hey if those are a slid rim will the brakes get enough air flow to keep them cool as they appear to have with all other Ford type rims as is now ? me I'd reall like a set os Cragar SS wheels.

I may consider if they were available in 18's, pending photos. 20"s stretch them way too much and they lose the retro look completely, and just don't look right. 18"s might, but I'm not holding my breath.

CDC had those on a V6 last year at SEMA, looked alright but I agree, I don't think they stretch out that far very well. 18's would be better.

I Checked a 20x9 Late Thursday on a 06 Roush with Their Big Brake Kit. It justs barely Rubs on the Face of the Caliper. It would need about 3/16" More Clearance in my opinion. Still need to Check one on my 500 But I doubt it will Clear.
