HGFairhurst Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 I love the look of the Halibrand wheels. Like the Eleanor car. Does anyone know who might make these in standard 18 inch size to fit on my 2008 GT500? Most manufactuers I've seen only make them for the GT. I heard that those will not fit over the calipers on the GT500. I've been searching the internet for a long time and I havent been able to come up with anything. Thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the help I love those wheels too. I've spent hours researching this and have come up with nothing encouraging. I talked a nice guy at a wheel shop out in California who offered to make me a set, but I would have to go down to a 13 inch cobra R brake system for the front, and I'm just not willing to do that for the sake of having really cool wheels. Everybody else I've called just says no way. If you happen to stumble across these that will fit our calipers please drop me a line and I will do the same.

baknblk Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 The wheel looks nice with the deeper dish I am just not a fan of American Racing. Foose has the Ascot which I think is similar http://www.chipfoose.com/wheels2.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGFairhurst Posted April 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 My Buddy at Summit Racing checked with American Racing on the wheels. He said its a no go. They wont fit over the big Calipers. Gotta keep searching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
