RUFDRAFT Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 I've been looking for aftermarket rims - without success. I've been to Tirerack - Tiredirect - and WheelMax websites. Does anyone have any experience with other online wheel distributors? Thanks - Bryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUFDRAFT Posted July 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 I'm looking for a mesh like this: But I'd like one that has more of a solid center and shorter spokes. Looking at 19's. (staggered - 8.5 f - 9.5 r) I like the American Racing Cobras - but they want $425 each for them. I'd like to buy JAZ VER1's like I have on my Z - but I can't find them. The place I bought them from (www.spyeng.com) is out of business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUFDRAFT Posted July 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 On the Shebly? Yes. I'm going to a stagger to get a bigger tire on the rear. And - ALL CAPS IS SHOUTING. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadTony Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 awatters - have you seen the rims on the ManRacer from Ford? Take a peek. Then - get back to me. :happy feet: Man Racer wheels are aftermarket other than Ford or Ford Racing? Can't really tell what they are from pictures shown. It seems like all of the sites/ links that I have seen actually use the same exact picture. Got a good link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwrig Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Personally, I like these. American Racing Shelby Razor I agree, RP. Very deluxe! Thaey have more of a muscle car feel than the spokes do. That's why I still like the Hallibrand repros so much. My .02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90GT Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Jetsolver - Yes!! I've got em! You're the Man! :bandance: Now, please don't anyone else give me sites! I'll stick with these. Thanks y'all. (and - 1010 carries Toyo tires!) Rufdraft, Very nice choice. They should look sweet on your car. :happy feet: Are they chrome??? If they are make sure they are tripple chrome plated. There are different levels of chrome plating and tripple plating is the most durable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUFDRAFT Posted July 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 I haven't got a link for the manracer rims - but the pic I saw looked like BBS mesh rims. These mesh have a sorta similar look - I just don't want 5 or 6 spokes like so many people have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if you;re still interested in them... if so here's link to their website JAZ Mesh 410 Also, if you click on "Wheels" at Jaz, they have three others similar to the Razors: Stirn, Trininty and Hoshi. Stirn only comes on 20" but Trininty and Hoshi come in the sizes you're looking for. ALso if you click on "Gallery" there's a pic of the Stirns on a mod's Silver GT -- look sweet, like the Razors ...good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07 GT500 Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 I'm thinking seriously of getting the wheels that come stock on my Shelby chromed. Red and chrome go good together.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alloy Dave Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Bryan, I've been giving a lot of thought to this topic you started. I think you would look best in a silver rim, with anti-glare compound on the lenses, and a bifocal would also be appropriate. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave and Verilux so you don't have to change rims when you go out in the sunlight... Is there a microphone option on that? I'm thinking seriously of getting the wheels that come stock on my Shelby chromed. Red and chrome go good together.......... 07, that would look awesome... I love color matching wheel accents to the car. Would you just do in red the part that's normally argent on the stock wheels, and the rest would be chrome? Wuld look very cool. Or color match to the stripe color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
