Default Great Wheels but worried.. take a look.

I love these Shelby Razor wheels.
The only thing is that they have the cobra emblem on them and say shelby.
I have an 06 GT and I DONT wanna look like im trying to discuise my car as a shelby.
I HATE that kind of stuff.
So do you think these wheels would do that? Take a look. They are the Razors

I love those wheels. You could always put your pony ceter caps in them. Or I think tire rack has some knock offs that don't say Shelby.

+1 with jlpskydive. Dude, no big deal at all. Those wheels are nice. Just get a Ford or GT wheel decal and cover it. Who will know? I really like those razors, dont like the others to much.

Look good. I say put em on as is and don't worry about it. If somebody asks "Is your car a Shelby?" You say no, but the wheels are from Shelby.

P.S. where could I go online to get wheel centercap covers?
Also what size covers would I need with 18's?

That and if they can't tell your car is not a Shelby just by looking at it, one more reason not to worry about it.

First you need to find out how big the centercap is on the rim. Some are common like 2 1/4" or 2 1/2" then you have odd *****. Go to any mustang parts site many times they'll have center caps for sale.

Even if you change the centre cap the wheels still have Shelby in one of the spokes. I have had this rims since June and love them. I get nothing but good comments on them. The fact that they are Shelby rims is a good thing for a Mustang IMHO.
