Thumbs up black "2003 style" cobra wheels

-I NEED new wheels.
-My GT is redfire.
-I like black/dark colored wheels.

What is everyone's opinion on black wheels on redfire mustangs? If yall want me to post a picture up I suppose I can not be lazy, other wise check out my avatar/"MFprofile" (I'm a rookie with photos).

Thanks guys.

I have a red GT too, and for me, black would look sick. I like a true black wheel tho, a polished lip usually makes it look too busy. But if you go with black wheels, you have to get accents like tinted tails/headlights to really make it look nice.

I have chrome cobra style wheels, wish I had the money to get them painted black.
Go with 18s btw, its worth it.

thanks guys for the push towards the black wheels, I'm scared of the police and tinting my tails, I think 18's look too big personally, I'm still open though for opinions against the black wheels... anyone?

I'd go with black, but keep lots of sauce on the tires....like the "I just splooged on my tires" look. Looks like ass with grey/brown tires....

I was actually about to order wheels from OEwheels but every set I click on says they're out of stock, I'm not sure if they're going out of business or just having webpage problems... but then I started looking on different websites and started second guessing myself, I think I'm going for the black wheels, thanks for the help guys

I just went to their site..I don't even see the "Mustang Wheels" link in the menu. Maybe they are doing maintenance on that section..
