Default I can't believe I cant pick wheels

Ok. So here's the deal. I need help.

I am torn between Silver Razors and Chrome FR500's.

I think I've decided to stick with 18's.

I like the Razors better, but I think they look best in 20's. 18's seem to be the best compromise between power and looks.

So if I'm getting 18's, are the Razors still a good option, or does that wheel style look to small in 18's and beg to be 20's. Do the 18" razors even fit my 06 GT (black).

If 18's in razors are stupid then I'm getting FR500's. I wish I could justify 20's, cuz then it would all be settled, I think they look best, but I'm not willing to deal with the potential torque/power loss.

So I guess the question is if 18's are your only option which wheel is the sexiest in your opinion.

I like razors, if I ever get another set it will be 20 gunmetal razors. Even at 18 they still look sweet

I haven't figured out how to post pics yet...ha ha My car is your basic 06 GT in black. It's very similar to ReaperGT's without the stripes. I do have a CDC chin spoiler, so a more aggressive wheel would fit well.

Here's two links to black cars similar to mine:

The first one is Reapers with 18" FR500's in chrome, which I really like by the way (good job bro)
You have to scroll down to ReaperGT's post most the way down the page:
https://mustangforums.com/forum/s197...-strips-3.html

This one is the razors in 20's (satin silver), so you'd have to imagine them smaller.
I don't know who's car this is, just found it on google.

the razors are sweet? = yes, but are they sweet in 18's? = no...

the razors are awesome in 20's....most of the people who buy them, only buy them in 20's because of the style of the rim...its features are highlighted in the 20" size, but are condensed in the 18" size and look miniature....

just to be sure, i looked through google images searching for "18" shelby razors" and didnt find a pic of the first car with anything other than 20" razors on it within the first 9 pages.....

if you just have to have the 18's than u can go with the fr500s or for that matter, dont rule out the idea that the gt500 svt 18's are an awesome rim in the 18" size as well...

just keeping the options open :-)

Wheels are a touch decision dude. I know I went back n forth on my selection. Its a lot of cash too. Dont rush, you got plenty of time to decide.

I had a hard time choosing rims for my car. Found a discontinued staggered set for an awesome price and that's what did it for me.



But if I were buying again, I'd go with Godspeed.

fr500 in 18s if you are picking between those too. Im not too fond of the razors. They look too much like aluminum cutouts if that makes any sense.
