I have a white 2010 V6 (with GT front conversion).. and I'm looking into get rims in the future. I LOVE the RTR rims but they're really expensive and I don't like how the rear wheels stick out. But, I've found some rims that look similar. Which ones would look the best on my car? and what size? I'm wanting to go with 19x8.5(9-9.5?) on the front and 19x10(9.5?) on the back.

A.


B.


C. (I reaaaally like these)


D.




I really want some form of really dark matteish black. I've thought of Deep dish bullits but, thats so plain on mustangs and I don't think all black looks good on them. If any one has any other suggestions; I'm open. I'de like to stick with this style though, I love the new GT500 SVT Package rims, but woah. They're expensive, and I think option C is a nice look-a-like..

I vote C. I love black rims!!! I'm going to have mine powder coated as soon as I can afford it!! A's not bad. C's awesome!!! My 2 cents.

WhiteKnight

Glad you agree! A lot of people don't like all black, but I love it, looks really good on any color.

So, C it is. ..Now all I need is opinions on sizes.

C by far. For one thing I think wheels with odd number spokes look round and even number spokes look like polygons. A and D are based on 8 spokes, B is based on 10, and C is based on 7. 5,7,9 spoked or slipt spoked wheels just look right to me weird I guess. Once a wheel has more than 10 spokes the effect is diminished.

(C) by far. I'd love to know what's the correct size & offset for 2010's. I believe TSW's site has a few different options in a 19" size. Need that perfect flush look with little to no wheel tuck.

C!!!

I heard that the RTRs actually stick out past the rear fender, and they're 19x9.5. So if I ordered the 19x8.5s for the front and 19x9.5s in the back, would it stick out? Or should I go with a smaller width? Cause I don't want my wheels so suck in inside but I don't them to stick out like a truck.

For anyone who doesn't know. These are TSW Nurburgrings. They're on TSWs website with several different dimensions and colors to choose from.

I agree, sort of. I like B because it really reminds of the 2011 GT500 SVT package rims, but they're not deep enough and does have quite a few spokes. I'm not a huge fan of D, but I think they're the cheapest, but they're too deep and remind me of BMW rims. I like A, but now that I think about it, it looks like something that would belong on a Mazda or something. I guess you're right, 7 spokes look perfect!

C......

C as long as they have the right offset. I don't like how the RTR wheels fit.

WhiteKnight

I love the RTR rims and their size, but I don't like how it exceeds past the rear fender. If I order the same size in TSW Nurburgrings (19x8.5 and 19x9.2) do you think it will stick out? ..Should I reconsider sizes?

908ssp

I have seen some quoted weights for the 20" TSW rims and if they are true those are some really light wheels. And the price isn't bad at all I might just be buying a set. I'd buy a rear set with 65mm off set add an 1/8' shim and they match the Spyder rims which fit perfect.

Thought $300 a wheel was a pretty good price on the RTR...
What can a similar (the ones you are looking at) TSW Nurnburgring RF cost?

Also, do you know if they have custom offsets, so it's possible to order with the offset you like?

Bhikku

i like C the best

codeman94

A or C out of the ones you have posted. I like C better than A, but depending on color, size, and stance, either would be very nice.

jlc41

A they look more proportioned and are very similar to C.

Scott2

I cast my vote for C as well.

WhiteKnight

Well, the price isn't an extreme difference, but I don't like the way the RTRs stick out, and I'm not going to pay that much for a set of wheels that I'm not extremely satisfied with. I think the TSW Nurburgrings cost around $230 a wheel. Not an extreme difference, but a little bit cheaper. Hey, saving money is saving money. They come in just about everysize, but not a lot of offsets. I think you can only get 40-1mm offset on the back and 35&40mm on the front.

I think you should go for them. I think the 19s are quoted at 23lbs a wheel, so 20s shouldn't be that much more. I don't think you can get 65mm offsets though. :/ ..What is the difference in offset, if you don't mind me asking?

Haha, So everyone like C. Me too! Everytime I see option B; it grows to me. It's now a toss up inbetween B and C. I think B would look awesome powdercoated black. ...I have a question for anyone. What are offsets on a wheel? ..I know that's a Noob question but, you're not born with the knowledge and everyone is talking about different offsets. So, I'm extremely confused.

908ssp

I may be getting new wheels those TSW wheels and the weight savings really have me excited. The 20s weigh 23lbs for the front and 25lbs for the rear that is a light wheel. With a 48mm front offset and 65mm rear offset I may have to put an 1/8" [3mm] shim in to duplicate the spacing of the Steeda Spyders. I'll have some Spyders to sell soon.

I vote B only because I don't like all black rims on white cars. They do look good but just not my taste
