Default stick with the stock wheels or put my others on?

Well as some of you saw I now have an 03 cobra with the machined style 03 wheels. my gt has the same style wheels but are black with a red lip on the outter edge. Just curious if you guys think i should swap wheels or stick with the machined cobras on it. I'm trying to find some of the same wheels only chrome but it's not going so well. here's some pics to compare.

I think the black with red stripe would look menacing on the car with the machined wheels

Would look even better if it was lowered also with those wheels

If you tint the Cobra I think your black wheels would look much better on it.

And clean that front bumper holy crap lol

Mustang enthusiasts are more of a 'traditional' muscle car look kind of crowd.

Get the lippy ones if you like em....but I vote stockers!

For once I'm going to say black wheels with red stripe. I think the red gives it just enough character.
