Default My new American Racing Razors

There are few selections of 16" wheels and the car had new tires when I bought it, so I went with AR Razors. They are 16X7.5 with a +40 offset.

I would like to see them in a bigger size, 16s are looking to hubcapish, as long as you like them.

Where did you get them? How did you get them to fit?

Those wheels are also known as Shelby Razors and are mostly for Mustangs. But i have seen a Trans Am locally running those in 17's and i like how it looked with them on. Ive only found them for Mustangs when i searched online to see what wheels they were after seeing that T/A locally.

Maybe if they were bigger than a 16", I'd like them more but the way they sit, can't say I like them to much.

There's worse looking wheels out there. If you already had a good set of 16" tires then I guess you made the financially smart decision. Clean looking car!

Got them installed with taxes for $835. My dream wheels and tires would cost around $2500, so I did make a financially smart move. Wheels aren't forever, so in few years, I may change. Seems like everybody on here has had a set or two. Two of my OEM were bent, so I had two do something. Yes they are a Shelby wheel, but AR makes a 4 3/4" pattern. The Torqthrust wheel was a Shelby "bullet" wheel and there seems to a lot of them on Camaro's.

I would have sold the stock wheels with the new tires. The profit from the sale plus the $835 you paid would have bought a nice set of wheels and tires.

Yeah you could have got some OE wheels for that .. I think . They make em in 16s right? Or some used stock ones for way cheaper locally .. But either way they are nice wheels OP .. If you like em that's all that matters
