Default Need help choosing rims for my stang

I know I want something red and black on a red stang and I've narrowed it down to 2 options that I've gotten quotes on from Local shops. I'm not as much concerned about the look (cuz i know what i want) but the quality of the company and I want something not hella expensive that won't crack either. Here's a pic of my car (sorry about the pic bein hella big:




And here is option 1:
Boss 339 Black w/ red quote $1500 mounted balanced locks and calipers painted red, etc.



And option 2:
Victoria Nascar Fontana Wheel $1540 mounted balanced, calipers painted, etc


I'm leaning toward the victory wheels cuz they a staggered at 8.5 and 9.5 while the boss ones are 8.5 all around. I also have seen them on ads in mustang mags on a red stang (tire rack ads) and they are licensed by nascar so it gives me a sense of quality there. Before I planned to get just anything, but one of the dudes at a store I went to scared me into getting something a little more expensive cuz the cheap ones crack, but all his wheels were 2 grand and up and I can't do that. I'm just try'na see if these quotes are fair and if either company victory or boss is a safer bet in terms of quality.

Wow! both of those rims are BEAUTIFUL!
i would probably chose the first ones but its your choice, either way, you cant go wrong they are very nice rims and your stang will look great with either one!
