kahmann Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 theyr nice but your ride quality will suffer. im not a fan of 20 inch ims +1 I don't like the look of 20's and I hate the feel of them. Those particular wheels are not my flavor at all, but do whatever suits you. You've got to look at it everyday, not us. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby2809 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Not a bad wheel and a pretty good price, but if it is only the price and the 20's that make you happy, I'd look for something else that you love. Personally, I would not like the 8.5" width, I just got the Edelbrock supercharger and I'm looking for something 9.5-10" for the back to have a better contact patch. If you ever plan a SC, you might be upset that you went this route. I hope this helps and good luck with your choice. Jim Edit - I just noticed you do have a SC. If it were me, I'd pass and look for a 9.5-10" rear. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HORSBYT Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 And I MIGHT be selling my Shelby Redlines (in the pics below) 9" in front 10's in rear. Let me know. 18" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMcGuirk Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Check the weight of all wheels before you install. The 20s I had were porkers. I saved 14 lbs per corner by going back to 18s. The rule of thumb on unsprung weight and the effect on your car - total the weight, multiply by four and that is equivalent weight gain. Bottom line - 20s on my car made it feel 250 lbs heavier.

FordRocks1 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 20's are mostly for show, if you choose to drag it or road course it plan to have some back up wheels/tires. I like the wheels posted above but I agree, you may want to go wider, does anyone run the nitto 20's drag radials? I get lots of compliments on my Razors.

SHELBYBRO Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Like Cliff said if you have an SC, you will need 10 inch rears. The better to grip with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWEDEMAN Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 I have always and I mean always had awesome compliments on the 20" chrome Razors. The 18" rims look way too small on these cars and the appearance suffers, in my opinion. Go 20" Razors and never look back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildAzCat Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 I would have to say they are 20's- They look like 20s to me too. I personally love the look of a chrome 20. To me they just finish off the look. I like having the power and want to SC but for me it's all about looking good. :shades: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordRocks1 Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Are those the 20's or 18's? 20's they are sir. For daily driving they are ok but for the track, well...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uno Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 i definitely wouldn't go with 8.5 width. I love the wheels though! I didn't know Falken made wheels to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWEDEMAN Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 20's they are sir. For daily driving they are ok but for the track, well...... 18" wheels on these cars are strictly for the stock look and a track experience. If you want a look that is far and above a stock appearing car go with the 20" wheel. The 20" wheel just looks like it fits this car better. I have never had so many compliments on my wheels than I "ever" did with the stock 18's. So, in my opinion, 18's for the track and 20's for the show, there is no other way.

1218shelby Posted July 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 o.k. i got another friend selling these 20". they are 20x10 on the rear and 20x9 on the front. So you guys dont recommend any 20" with a SC? let me know before i make a mistake.

And i would said go with 20"s no regret's, the car look's so much nicer, the 18" look too small in these cars . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
