Default Toxic Metal Wheels - Opinions?

Anybody seen the wheels from Toxic Metals called the Defiance? Supposedly they are the only wheel designed specifically for the GT Mustang with correct offset ect. They look very similar to Saleen wheels but are lighter. I'm about to pull the trigger on a set of chrome ones and I'd like some feedback. I looked at Shelby Blades too, but I keep comming back to the Toxic Wheels - I think they look awesome - Opinions?

Hey zcat, What are you going to do with your Roush rims?

Don't have Roush rim, I have boat anchor rims that weigh like 40 lbs each. looking for a lighter 20" and the Toxic 20 X 10 is 31 lbs so thats some saving right there, plus I bent a rim too and now is a good time for me to change them all.

Here's an attached pic. I have them on my car it's dropped about 1.4 inches with vogtland springs. I have the gunmetal wheels 20x8 in front, 20x10 in the rear with 255/35/20 up front and 285/30/20 BFG's in the back. I think they look terrific. My apologies for the grainy picture, it was with my cell phone camera.

No problems with rubbing on a full turn. They also fit big brake kits.

thanks jaiasmit, I appreciate it! you can't tell from the grainy pic, but the rk sports hood has gunmetal ghost stripes that match the color of the wheels and I have the front brake fender cut-outs like in the gtr concept.

sorry for the hijack!

again the wheels are great! they flow well with the rest of the car. they come in gunmetal, chrome, and i think polish. they tuck in the fenders nicely and do not stick out at all.

Thanks Ghettobooty, your car looks awesome with them. Clearing the big brake kit was a concern, I have 14" Wilwoods all around. I think I'll go with the Chrome. Where did ya get yours and if you don't mind, how much?
