73mockone Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 So it finally happened.... After years of watching the 18"x9" gunmetal grey Shelby Razors for the best possible price, I finally got into a position to pull the trigger as I was convinced the prices wouldn't get much lower. I was right about the price, because they stopped making them!?!? Ugh, I cant find them anywhere!! Now what?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they told me the 18"x9" in gunmetal were discontinued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasShelby Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 I scavenged 3 over a period of time and had them refurbed and 2 of them widened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-man Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 Might be able to find a 20" set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

39Mustang Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 If you plan on doing any racing then I'd buy something other than the Razors they are a bit soft and can bend easily which I am sure many owners will tell you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-man Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 If you plan on doing any racing then I'd buy something other than the Razors they are a bit soft and can bend easily which I am sure many owners will tell you While I haven't had an issue with mine, they definitely are more for looks than performance. If I was going to track the car regularly, I'd buy a track only set of rims (wouldn't care what they looked like, as long as they were strong and light). 20" rims aren't good for the track either. I've read that 18" are the best size for performance. Other may have different opinions. Z-man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EL SHELBY Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 18" wheels are not necessarily better, but your tire opinions improve significantly at 18 inches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyEra08 Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) if you're trying to put a set on a Mustang with Brembos, don't think 18s would even clear those calipers (at least the ones offered through AmericanMuscle). The 20s on their site does have the correct offset to clear the factory Brembos Edited November 1, 2016 by ShelbyEra08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regalt87 Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 I have a set I am going to be selling. 2 are slightly scuffed but not horrible. What are they worth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
