Shelby VN427 Wheels on a Cuda?
« on: August 13, 2011 - 05:21:15 PM »
Has anyone seen the American Racing VN427 wheels on a mopar?  Just wondering because I think the wheels look awesome and was thinking about a set for a Cuda.

I have never seen them but if they are the ones pictured, I have thought about those "style" rims on Challengers as there is a kit car company that makes Cobras that has rims that are the same bolt pattern but not aware of the back space.

Are you talking these rims?  These Halibrand style rims remind me too much of Ford, but that they look nice, IMO.

Yes, those are the ones.  I thought they might fit the theme, looking like fish tails and all.

Would be good if you went to the newbie section and posted a bit about your car.  I'm sure people would love to see it.   :grinyes:

Those are nice rims.  I'm just not sure how they would look on a Cuda though.  Might be interesting....  :dunno:

Member Aaron Beck can do a Photoshop for $10 and you could see how they'd look.

I'll see if I can do a mock up of a Cuda with these rims. 

Or can they be seen on one of those tire websites with the program that has the different cars and different rims to try out?  :clueless:

What color is your car?  Fish around under Hot Rod Shelby to find that rim.

Here's a set on a non-Ford, a Chevelle.  Looks pretty good IMO...  The spinners make it look a bit more sophisticated.

No AAR's but here's a red one.  If you go on the website you can make the wheels spin.
