So I plan on getting some wheels for my car. I am going to lower my car and then add the wheels. I’m not sure should I get the gt500 oem or the Shelby extreme wheels and powerdcoat them black. The saleen are 20 inch idk how I feel about 20s in NYC. I drive my car every day so comfort and handling are important too. I really want some matte black wheels but the gt500 oem are pretty good in price. Oh yea I will do all this after winter.

I am selling mine 20's Black Shelby Razors...



I have never had issues with my rims on rough roads but I have had problems dropped with my low body kit... My 20s actually helped me by raising my car a tad... When I have my 17's on I bottom out everywhere...
The rims have Nitto 555s all around 275/30/20 in the rear 255/35/20 in the front...

I would'nt get 20 for NYC ..your gonna regret it first time you catch a bad pothole plus it will make your car slower..the bigger the rim the more power you loose..I would go with 18" wheels

The effect on power is minimal but you can always get 4:10s to compensate...

Hey thanks for the offer but if I were to get black rims I wouldnt want them to be a gloss black more like semi gloss. But they do look great on your car. I am also pretty much goin for some 18s.
