Default Thinking about gettins some American Racing Shelby Razor wheels

I'm looking to get some wheels for my silver 2000 GT. Finally decided on the American Racing Razors. Just haven't decided which finish to get: Chrome, polished , or the special edition shelby razor (painted center, machined lip). I'm leaning toward the shelby one, but haven't been able to find any pics online of how they look on a silver gt. Anybody have any or know where i can find some pics of these on a silver gt?

I don't really want the same rims everybody's got. These are my two favorites. If any of you "photoshoppers" could possibly put these two on a silver 99-04 mustang gt pic, that would be awesome. It would really help me decide which way to go.
I put two pics of the razors in, don't know which would be easier to photoshop.

I have them and imo I think they look kick-a$$. Of course I also like my American Muscle purchased taillights - but as someone said - "to each his own".
Get them...tirerack.com is where I went. New tires also, mounted, balanced and shipped for $170 less than the local Town Fair Tire.
Chrome all the way baby! They are awesome in the sun!

Thanks Raymo. Those chrome razors look sharp on your stang. Now that I've seen them on a 99-04, i'm definitely going with those or the shelby razors. The shelby ones have the painted centers and machine lip.
What size did you get, 17s or 18s?

I like the first set of pics, on the left, I'd go with 17" cuz I can't stand 18" rims, actually I'd go with 15" if they made them.

It's all about opinions baby! That's why my car is in my garage and yours is in yours!

We were at Mustang Week this year in Myrtle Beach and there were plenty of different taillights including this style - but also TONS of other mods which looked good to me, and some that looked ridiculous.

"To Each His Own"!

Go to www.tirerack.com. You can put in the year, make and model of your car to view all the wheels that are made for you car. When you select one you can view it on the car and chose the color of your car. It even allows you to download it to a PDF. I spent hours on the site before I finally picked out the wheels I wanted.
