I FINALLY find a rim I really like

http://wheelsperformancecom.stores.yahoo.net/fikse.html

But like all good things..they are $1230 ea. So back to square one.

I like GT 1 in black on MRR but not sure of their quality

Like Raceline...but not sure about Chrome.

God....I want something this summer. I am open for suggestions..I have also looked at Cervinis on the C-500 they are pretty sharp. I'd still like to find made in USA tho

LOL awww you don't like the $1230 Fikse??? Do you know anything about Raceline? Just worry about two piece construction...rust/corrosion. I know it will not see snow but it might in an emergency. I just need a lot more info.

I agree with Ryan that the I too like the racelines the best out of that bunch. However, they are very similar to the shelby CS40's So I would probably go with the shelbys over the racelines, they have more of a lip and look more refined

Hey those shelbys are really a sweet rim! BUT they are 20" only...I need 18". Can't buy new tires, only have 12K on these. Unless I could sell these and then get 20's which would be awesome.

Anyone need to have BFG T/A Super Sport a/s? LOL

I like the Shelbys too. And I wouldn't worry too much about corrosion on the two piece wheels as salt is what really promotes the most damage and the rare "emergency" won't be enough to do much damage. And considering how clean you'll probably keep them anyway....

I would get the redlines and i would not not worry about rust. 20 to me on a mustang is just to big. the 18s would look great.

18 inch razors would look awesome and weigh about what a stock rim weighs as far as weight. They come in silver, chrome and gunmetal. If your tires are 255/45/18 they will fit perfectly. Tirerack has them for around $200 per rim. Plus if you ever need a new rim because of a pothole or something else every tire retailer in the country can get American racing wheels. If you seal the wheels properly then they will last thru just about any weather. Heres a pic of mine.

Good luck with the purchase.

You KNOW what I'm talking about..Darn. I seriously LOVE em. About the only way I could do it wouls be to pay half in cash and charge the balance. But it's a ton of $$ LOL

And that Shelby rim I'm only seeing in 20" for that one. If they are in my size..I cannot find them. And I'd get the credit card warmed up...for April delivery. I do like them and maybe use the knock off spinner thing. I have the Ford spinners on the fan blades.

Yes that is another good rim choice too. But after seeing that Fikse...I'm just heartbroken LOL.

Thank you everyone!!! I hope I finally make a decision this Spring. Been a long time looking.
