So, I am wanting some black 20" rims to swap on my car. I like the looks of these rims, except I am not sold on the red stripe.

These seem like they would fit nicely on the taurus.

Google has a couple, they're 18's but it should give you a good idea of what they look like in person.

I have never heard of this brand, so I am wondering what the quality would be? I'm no mathmagician either, so I have to figure out if these would fit the 2010.

I like the look. What color is your SHO?

Black, and I have already blacked out the stupid fake chrome fender vents and swapped out the silver light bezels on the front bumper with the black ones.

 

[Got5onIt]

I think it would look good with the red since you're SHO is black. Maybe paint your SHO emblems red? Paint your calipers Red (if not done already)?

 

[lsdozer]

We think the same...I am just waiting on the rim swap to paint the calipers!

As far as the SHO emblems, I might play around with that idea. I bought a spare set and painted the new ones with Dupli-Color Shadow paint, which is basically a clear coat with black tint to it, so I have a spare set of vents to play with!

Might even look good to keep the emblems black, but paint the taurus lettering red. Or wait on the 2013 emblems to become available and put those on, but black/red

 

[Got5onIt]

We do think alike. I've been eyeing those 2013 fender emblems as well. When they release I plan on replacing the Taurus vent thingy with the new SHO vent thingy.

I truly hate the fact that ya'll can get attractive aftermarket rims for your cars.....

Not me! I take it the older SHO's have those ******** 4 lug axles. Always hated that on the fox mustangs.

 

[frosho]

They're 5-lugs, just an odd pattern. (5x108mm/5x4.25")

I think the red stripe will look OK as long as you have some other red accents.

Eh, just shop for E class wheels and bore out the holes slightly. Enjoy all the wheels you want...

(On early SHOs)

This works on 1st & 2nd gen?

When you paint your calipers, I would suggest you use a wire brush on a drill to clean off the sealant (or whatever it is) on the calipers. Mine on my Flex started chipping before the paint dried! GM calipers stay painted forever. Needed to re-do the Flex calipers after a month or so... finally did it right this winter, and they seem to be holding up better.

That's good to know. I ha e never done it before, but the kits act like you just spray on the pre cleaner/degreaser and you are ready.

Thanks for the info.

I would highly recommend the G2 caliper kits. The DuPont spray on stuff chipped on one of my vehicles. I've never had issues with G2 and have used it in 3 vehicles.

I used the Duplicolor Red brush on kit. Cleaned them thoroughly first time on all 4 cars I painted. GM cars stay pretty much chip free. Ford would chip if you crossed your eyes!

After my re-do, the Ford calipers seem to be holding up fine... but only did the re-paint a month ago. Realize spray covers quicker, but brushing allowed me to just tape around rotors and not have to remove calipers. Not a perfect job... but good enough for Govt. Work!

Ive used the brush on stuff and its some pretty sweet stuff to work with! id highly recommend it to work with again!

Wow, I was wondering when I would first see Custom Wheels Express referenced on here. I'm going to let you guys in on a little secret. I own Custom Wheels Express.

Let me know if any of you guys have any questions or see anything you like and I'll see if I can work you up a better deal.
