Anyone have a pic of AFS 18" wheels on a RedFire? Chrome or polished aluminum - either is fine. I have been thinking about getting these wheels, but I would like to see what they look like. If you have trouble posting a pic, PM me. Thanks. :beer:

Hey thanks. :beer:
Did you get them on e-bay? If you did, would you mind telling me what you paid. You can PM me with the price you'd rather not post it.

I got em on ebay
ended up winning an auction for AFS 18x9 and 18x10.5 polished rims and decided I wanted chrome..
AFS was very nice about the whole change my mind thing and said for an additional $200 I could upgrade to chrome. The total went to $646 with the chrome upgrade.
Got to thinking about how crappy the wheel and tire places are around here and decided to buy four Kuomo tires as well. 315's on the back.
Free mounting and balancing with $125 for shipping and insurance
total $1700 and change

Thanks. I tried to do a search earlier but the site wouldn't let me that is why I posted. Search is now working. I've seen the 17" wheels on the Redfire, but not a good pic of the 18s.
Thanks, that sounds great. Let us know how it all fits when you get them on and be sure and post a pic. :beer:
I went with the Kuhmos & they are great.
24PSI for the 18x10.5 & i get no more wheel hop & today was a good day at the track. Track was nice, but either way the tires hooked up pretty good.
Kuhmo MX series....better then my stock F1's.
Maybe a stupid question but are the AFS 10.5's backspaced correctly so that you don't need a 7/32" spacer. Thanks
NOT a stupid question, all depends on what tires u get.
Bingo has tried so many various tires & rims, but he hasnt reported any problems. I personally dont have any trouble.
The only thing that gets me worried is going up a driveway. U can feel the back tire being so extended that its off the ground. When the suspension is fully lifted. thats when the IRS BOLT is an issue.
Sorry if I just couldn't find this, but what size/brand tires do you have on the 18" wheels. Thanks.
Man there was a thread i was trying to find for you guys.
Bingo listed a bunch of tires & stating no problems.
I have 295x18x35...

OK, I think I have one more question. I looked at your pics and your wheels are not the chromies - are they the polished aluminum or the machined with silver cut outs. I wanted to stay as stock looking as possible, but I have not been able to find the machined with silver cut outs on auction at e-bay. Thanks again for all the help.
Q's & A's...thats why this forum's so cool :beer:
Wanted the stock look & used the SVT Emblems as well. Its called machined look.
But if u put another Cobra next to the car u can totally tell the rims arent stock but only we know that ;-)
hum no machine look in E-bay? Not sure if AFS is doing that or not but be patient bro. Some folks in this forum have gotten some real good buys on them.
Thanks. :beer:
Patience has always been my problem. I just sent an e-mail to afs to see if they would sell me a package deal at a discount instead of going through e-bay. We'll see what they say.
I couldn't tell from your pics that the wheels weren't stock. They look real sweet. :thumbsup:
Appreciate all the help.

I hear u bro. .... lets just say im very upset at my self right now.
Trying to make back all my money i won.
AFS is going to be a bit expensive going direct to them...they wanted 350 for the 18x10.5 each. They will reply ur e-mail pretty quick.
Yeah for the folks that dont know our cars its just looks like some big fat tires on the back ;-)
Put it up to a stock rim on an 03Cobra u can tell.
Oh on the Kuhmos last night it was real good. Think that the track was prepped better but got my best time at the track
12.89 corrected time....learning how to drive my car still :bash: wish i was gifted lol.
