I'm torn between two rims on this page: http://www.americanracing.com/teflon/

If you had to choose between the Mohave and the Victor, which would you pick?

Mohave. My reason is because I like the "offset" look to them. I think this image typically portrays a more rugged look vs. the more flush-looking, "streetable" design of the Victor. I picture the Victors on more of a lower profile, performance-oriented vehicle. I guess it depends which look you're going for.

My $0.02.

Be careful when choosing a wheel. I tried several American Racing 16x8 rims and had a problem with the inside of the rim rubbing the caliper and the air direct shield, especially with the AR23. Ford has that wierd lip on the caliper near the backside. Obviously going with 17 or 18" would alleviate the issue. I did find a rim (Verde Boxer, series 79 I think it was) in 16x8 which worked fine and had the proper amount of backspacing. I mounted Goodyear ATS tires in 305/70-16 and have been very pleased with the result. Check out Eagle wheels as well, I think that is what Birdman has and they look cool.
