Got New Wheels Today

[ElCid08]

So I debated on which wheels I wanted for weeks. I’ve had numerous sets of aftermarket wheels on previous cars/trucks and always regretted not getting black wheels. Decided to finally do it. I just hit 10k miles on my 18’, and have been really happy with the stock 265/35/20 Goodyear Eagle F1 All seasons. Decided to find 20x9’s that would work with my stock tires since they have plenty of life left in them. Ultimately I was deciding between Forgestar F14’s, American racing Barrage’s, and American Racing AR924 Crossfires. The crossfires are great looking wheels but something about them in black didn’t sit right with me. The Forgestar’s are gorgeous wheels as well (and pricier) but I didn’t like them any better than the AR Barrages’, so that’s what I decided on. AR927 Barrage 20x9 in Satin Black. Ordered from TireRack and they arrived in two days. Couldn’t be happier with how they look. Side note: I’m considering selling my stock 20 inch 2018 wheels if anyone is interested. Let me know what you think!

Looks great. Nice contrast with the white. Are you lowered? Wheel spacers?

 

[ElCid08]

Thanks! Nope. Stock suspension and no spacers.

Thanks! Nope. Stock suspension and no spacers.

I like this and economical as well !! It appears flush with the fenders (can you confirm this). Do you know the offset of the new rims? Good balance of black and white.

Hey thanks! It is flush! The new wheel offset is 35mm. Stock 20x9 offset is something like 42 I believe. I think they fit perfectly. I didn’t want to run some crazy offset. And all while being able to reuse my stock tires!

Nice looking wheels. Sorta reminds of the PP1 wheels. Are they hard to clean?

 

[ElCid08]

Thanks Tony! Yes they are very similar to the PP1 wheels! My dealership said “they look like a mix of PP1 and GT500 wheels”. They are harder to clean than the stock 20’s for sure...but not majorly!

Looks great! You've definitely gained some outside offset and more appeal to the stance. The OEM 20's are nice to look at, but they tuck in a bit too much. I'm actually looking into trading the 20" down to PP 19" when tires go bald, but you've given me a new option to consider, thanks.

No problem! Let me know if you have any other questions! I’m very pleased with them. Took a couple hundred mile road trip yesterday to the in-laws house and didn’t have any issues whatsoever!

I'm also digging on your rear tail panel sans the GT. I was thinking of doing this myself as I scratched mine changing out the GT to the blacked out one. Arrrrgh!

Thanks man! $144 I believe from American muscle. Ford Performance GT delete decklid
