Default Silver or Gun Metal Razors for my car?

Okay, I gave up my original idea of getting a set of TSW Snettertons, so now I've decided to go with 18" Razors. I'm choosing performance over looks.

So Silver or Gun Metal Razors for my car? Does anyone know the difference between the Shleby Razors and the American Racing Razors?

Gunmetal, or whatever the wheels on the GT are... those ones will look tight, they provide both looks and performance, the top ones just provide performance, they arent as flashy

The razors arent light wheels even in 18". if your going for performance there are better choices for light wheels. In the pics you have 20"...imo 18" wont look as nice.

Both are made by the same company but one is a special edition. Here is a pic of the "Razor" Note the center cap and the lack of the "Shelby" logo engraved into the wheel spoke. And I did not see any other color options other than silver or chrome. "Shelby Razor" Note: The Shelby Razor does come in Gun metal, black, chrome but is no longer being produced in Silver.

Umm, have you ever seen the 18"s up close?! They look retarded.

There's a reason Shelby won't put the 18" Razors on ANY of their cars ( GT/SC, CS6, CS8, gt500 anniversary, Telingua) but they easily chose the 18" alcoa wheels for their performance benefits.

I do not like the look of any 20" rims on the mustangs. I think it makes the car look a bit silly.
Aren't these 18" razors? They look fine to me.
