Cool

Austin, Thanks for your efforts! However I don't really care for those wheels; they're the one thing I don't care for on the GTX pics I've seen.

Smokin' mentioned a reversed HRE where the screw heads face inward, but you still have a chrome lip. I haven't gone searching, but I wonder what these would look like, and I wonder what John/Anthony have to offer...

If you can conjure up anything like I'm describing Austin and chop it up, I'd appreciate it!

I agree with Biggs. Those wheels look terrible.

Those wheels look like they came off a hot wheel car.

We just got our first Ford GT wheel order this weekend. You will find the front offset will only allow for an approx. 1" lip and the rear will be approx. 4".

For your car a could suggest a classic Venom 5 or 6R with an exact color match tungsten center, polished bolts and a brushed aluminum lip to match to body accents. I would do a 19" front and a 20" rear.

The Ford GT body has too much going on to try to make a statement with the wheels. You want something custom that compliments the car.

Thanks Anthony, Maybe Austin can chop something so I can get a better idea of what you mean; sounds interesting. If you look at the chops with the black wheels on a tungsten or silver GT like Genetic Cesspool's avatar I think it looks great, I just hate all the fucken screw heads. I don't know how people can put up with cleaning them.

We can do a 2-piece wheel with the same look without all the bolts.

The reason all the Viper wheels have 3-piece wheels is for the 13" rear.

Austin, is their any chance you could do a black/silver car with a couple different wheels?

Black centers and silver centers?

Thanks,

Chad
