So eventually to replace these bulky pp wheels, I'll be upgrading and getting rid of the 4x4 look. After i lower the car, i was considering some xxr 535's. I found a mustang that looked great in them, only problem is the largest size xxr makes in this model is 18x10.25. I'd prefer 19's; i found a pair fitted on an 05-09 s197, only I'd get them in black.
I'll be sitting about 1.8 inches lower with the new springs/struts.
What are your opinions on these wheels in black on my car?
I think it sits perfectly, i just am having trouble debating on 18 inch wheels.

Fitted on a car i found online:

Black is better than that but you could do better, IMO. All black wheels are boring. Good choice getting rid of those wheels, I personally think they look horrible.

You're going lower than you are now? You seem pretty low.

My thought is how black wheels disappear on a white car. I was also considering going with chromium black instead of matte black:

I want wheels with stance under at least $170 a piece. I'd love to go with some forgestars, or stance, or velgens, but $350 a wheel is way out of my budget for now.

Still got that 4x4 look:

I'm sorry - my mistake, I thought you owned the silver car for some reason. Anyway, thank god you own the white car. Those rims are nice as is, but if you're looking to upgrade I agree that black wheels not only disappear but they are boring. Perhaps a machined wheel? Or a sort of 'hyperblack' like on the Roush's.

Lowering would look good and necessary, IMO.

Yeah i should reorganize the pictures. Yeah thats along the lines i was thinking. everyone has black wheels on white cars. Lowering is HIGHLY necessary in my book, only i want it done right so i'm waiting till the budget comes through.

I found these on the roushperformance site, do these wheels cost $439 a wheel or $439 for the whole set? doesn't give to much detail.

Check out the new GF line from MRRwheels.

The ground force rims come in 19" as wide as 10.5 and offsets can be made to whatever you like.

I am good friends with the owner so they can make any pattern you want.

Let me know if I can help.

My rims got trashed a month ago, and I was looking at these to replace my black Lorenzo WL28s. I also have a GT/CS and after seeing these on whoever's car that is I really, really like it. I think you should go for it man, but don't be surprised if I end up getting the same ones hahaha I know that XXR usually goes on JDM cars but I love 5 spoke wheels.

Pretty sure white stangs needs polished wheels!

Thanks Joe, I found 3 pairs that interest me, unfortunately they're a little out of my price range. If I win the lottery, ill let ya know

Yep, well if i do you'll see the posts. I was gonna go with more spokes but suddenly those 5 spokes are getting to me. We'll just have to see, decisions desicions!

I feel ya. White wheels would be a change. But either black, white, or a darker silver.
