I've been looking for some aftermarket wheels for some time but haven't really seen what I like yet. The 20" Razors in Chrome look nice but they don't make a wider wheel than 9" for the back.

 

It'd be nice to make a sticky so everyone can post picks of their rides with custom wheels? That way we don't have to search thousand's of threads just looking for wheel pics!

 

 

I didn't go crazy, but I thought I would jump in here. Just a mild yet I feel oddly noticeable mod to my existing wheels. I got the idea from the Ford GT wheels. They were a similar 'loose mesh' design. I always thought that the black SVT centercap looked odd on our cars. Even from the very first pics. from Ford, back when the preproduction mule was wearing 19" wheels and skins.

 

My interpretation is a set of '99 COBRA silver wheel centers. The FIRST mod I ever did to the car!

Here is a very good photo that I found on Photobucket.com.

 

Shows the dramatic change from our 'stock' GT500 wheels to the FORD GT Supercar rims. The larger diameter and deep dish rears look TOUGH...IMHO.

Nice photo showing the differance. Are those the 18x9 fronts and the 19x11.5 in the back? Did not think the 19x11.5's would fit on the back.

I agree. Were there anymore pics of that car with those wheels on Photobucket? Ran a GT500 search and there's over 5k images.

Found this on Flickr today......

 

Looks pretty cool....Doesn't appear to be deepdish on the rear? Look at the Brembos. They evidentally fit up front, no problem?

I love those black cs40 wheels! I wonder what they would look like on my car (red GT500 with white stripes). Does anybody have pics?

Nice wheels Steel Town Stang. I like the razors in chrome much better than the gunmetal

 

 

Thanks. I actually preferred the silver, however, they're no longer available. Ultimately I was pleasantly surprised with the overall appearance.

 

NOTE: Several source have reported that Shelby has not renewed their contract with American Racing (AR), so once the inventory is gone so will be the Shelby Razors. AR will still manufacture the “Razors”, albeit without the Shelby branding.

I looking for big rim size. And i have request for you.

Do you think Ford GT wheels Fr & Rr work fine on GT500?

 

Front 18"x9" and Rear 19"x11.5"

 

 

If bolt pattern (5X114.3), offset (24-40mm), and backspacing (5.47-6.57") match, then I'd say yes. I know that they're very expensive. There are other "big rims" options out there...

 

I just conducted a brief search. According to the following specs they will not fit without modification: http://www.lethalperformance.com/05-06-ford-gt-wheels-c-2204_2226/ford-racing-05-06-ford-gt-rear-wheel-19x11-5-p-12972.
