Default Keep my current wheels or get one of these?

So my current wheels look ok when they are clean but when they are dirty or have brake dust on them they look quite plain. So I'm thinking about one of these, or should I just keep my current ones?

I just sold a Set of the FR500 Wheels in chrome ( I still have one new in box if you want it)

And I just bought the charcoal AMRs. I really like both, but I felt like the charcoal looked better with my mineral grey paint.

Chrome and black... +1

To me I think gunmetal/charcoal wheels just look like wheels that are covered in brake dust. But that's just my personal opinion. I love the way a bright silver or chrome wheel pops on a car.

I think all of those wheels are great options! If this was my car I would go with the Charcoal AMR Wheels. They look incredible on a black S197, that's just my opinion!

You really can't go wrong and I'm confident your car will look awesome either way! Please let me know if you ever have any questions or need some assistance in the near future.

Our Mustang Experts are here Monday-Friday from 9AM-9PM EST and Saturdays from 9AM-5:30PM EST. If you want to hit them up, their number is 866.727.1266. I can also have one of them call you directly.

Black and chrome do look good together, but with my hood I might go with the aggressive theme so I'm leaning towards the charcoal AMR's. I just don't like the "blacked out" look, it's too common so I'd like a hint of color and variety on it.

The good thing about the dark wheel finishes like charcoal/graphite is that they hide the brake dust you mentioned much better than a light finished or chromed wheel!

OP I really like your hood by the way! I have been looking at those for a bit, may have to pull the trigger on one.

The AMR wheels or get the real ones... The TSW Nuburgrings they are worth the price for the weight savings.
