wouldn't do the 18" razors. fr500's look better, chrome can be heavy if your looking for performance.

Well, I'm laughing now, because I found a deal I just couldn't refuse. After all this I decided I really wanted 20's. I just love the razors. I picked up a set of Silver Razors 20x9 for $149 ea. That's screamin' and I just couldn't pass it up.

So it's done. RAZORS in 20. Ha Ha, oh well, I guess I'll have to supercharge now or something to offset the power loss.

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.
The chrome has been known to peel off the FR500's

Think twice before you consider any "chrome-plated" FR500 wheel.....this is a picture of mine.

The wheel is made by Wheel Replica, purchased from CruizinConcepts.
