The idea behind the 17" wheel is retro, you know, like the rest of the body style.

Does Spray paint work? I Like the rims on my car now, but I just wish they were a glossy black. I thought about doing it, but I'm scared to.

I know two people that have spray painted their wheels and to be honest i was pretty impressed. They looked good.

I second that motion, but as for the original topic I agree to an extent. I don't like the look of the bullit style rims that are on most of the 05-09 models and I really don't get people who get those black or chrome, but that is just my opinion. Now as for the spray painting wheels question, yes you can spray paint wheels, but don't use regular spray paint. I believe it is dupli-color that makes a wheel rattle can paint to use. It is not that hard to do and if done properly does look decent

I had the standard GT 5 spoke wheel, bought bmr4life's CS wheels and tires. I like them much better than what I had.

yep dupli-color wheel paint is what i used, and if you want that gloss black look just layer on the clearcoat after the coats of black, mine are a year old and still look pretty decent (especially for going thru an ohio winter of snowstorms)

I hate stock rims... My stang comes with Saleen rims and I still don't like em.

I think wheels are one of the best ways to set your ride apart form the rest and make it your own. Of course that is true of every upgrade. They all accumulate toy become your custom ride. I know I like the way my car looks with what I have added. I realize there will be people out there who dissagree, but that's the great part. You can make it your own and enjoy it. I went with the GT500 look with a set of 18" 2010 GT500 convertible wheels, and a GT500 spoiler and CDC chin spolier. It already had the stripes so I just added to that theme.
