[QUOTE="TexasShelby, post: 5794412, member: 61338"] Razor's did only come in 9", but I've known a couple guys that have had them widened without issues as far as I know. I'm looking at the same wheel in silver and going to 10.5 in the rear. I still can't figure for the life of me why they would put an almost 1" taller tire on the front of the car, than the rear, but they have. The GT500 is not without it's issues. Being a fairly early owner, over a year now, I do understand why someone would question making the switch. I personally feel there are 2 or 3 issues with the GT500 that Ford should have addressed for it's owners, but nothing was ever so much as even mentioned. With that said, one moves on, and a GT500 is a perfect blank canvas with which to start. Be it road, track, drag, show, cruise, it is extremely easy to mod and the gains are significant. I always love rolling into a lot with always some guy saying...yeah, but it's no vette... I laugh and tell them, I'll race any vette, any where, any time...first one across the finish line with his 3 best friends in the car wins. But usually a blue oval freak will say...well...that's true, but most vette owners don't have 3 friends...LOL I was litterally inches from buying an 04 Cobra and still love them, but I think any mass produced vehicle will have it's compromises. I know I turned down 3 04s just on the paint alone. Ford got it from straight from Microsoft I think.... "It's not a flaw...it's a feature" mentality. As far as the Shelby Razor wheel... There is no logical explanition that could be given from Shelby or American why they would have a wheel that would actually lower the footprint of a car that already has traction issues to begin with. But all in all, it's a way cool car to own, drive and mod. I'd have to say, if you were thinking about making a switch, I'd have to say yes. Just my honest opinion. [/QUOTE]
