I too have grown tired of matte black mesh wheels. I have a pair on my car. I'd love to have some Vossen CV3 like wheels. Definitely not dropping $4k on V6 mustang, but there are plenty of knockoffs like Stance, Niche, and a few others that look similar.

If I had any other color Mustang, I'd probably avoid black wheels. But I have this love-hate relationship with silver. It's the most boring color to me, but it is marvelously low-maintenance compared to how much time I used to have to spend detailing red/blue/black cars I've owned (and then still having every mark/scuff/swirl show up on the finish.)

So that's the reason I got silver after avoiding it for 30 years... but I think it does need "something" to bring it to life - thus my choice of black wheels.

I agree with the ease of cleaning a silver car. Or I should say the ease of keeping it "looking clean". My last GT was silver and I loved it. I had black wheels for a while... but went with satin silver wheels and liked that a LOT better than black.
Great car by the way!

These Avant Garde M510 wheels have been a winner in my book the last few weeks. Great looking wheels by Avant Garde:



Don't go with something that's played out, get something unique so you can stand out from the rest!!
