Default Wheel Options - Need some input!!!

To save a little cash, I was very close to picking up a local set of GT500 takeoffs, but knowing the wheels were not my long term choice, I am just going to spend the extra money now and get the wheels I want up front. It would eliminate the headache of trying to sell the GT500 rims later and be a lot simpler.

So with that said, here are my 3 options thus far... I really like the CS69s as I am trying to get a bit of a retro/stealth look going with the car. But also kind of like the Magnums, but am now thinking the black CS69s might be an even better choice. I already have the rather stealth engine bay with the Edelbrock SC, so now its time for the exterior

Exterior mods/plans include CDC blackout panel & convertible bar, V6 spoiler awaiting install, Foose hood (awaiting paint), Agent 47 mirrors (ordering soon), and some type of fogless grill (probably the new Shelby mesh unit).

Any input is greatly appreciated... don't mind the poor photo chopping as the wheels are not really to scale, but they will be 9.5in. 18s with 285/40 rear & 255/45 fronts for tires.

Option 1 - CS69s in hyper-black


Option 2 - Magnum 500s


Option 3 - CS69s in black

Option 1 Doug!

In the pic they look a little small, if you can get 'em in a bigger size (like option 3's) then do it!

#1, definitely, it goes a lot better with your dark grey body and black top.

I'd have to say the 1st one... but I like the staggered Cobra r's on those as well.

If I could afford it the CS69 in hyper-black are the ultimate wheel I would put on my car.

Thanks for all the input... think I am really leaning towards option 1 (hyper-black) which has been my favorite all along, but they would be in 18s. And with my stockers pretty much sold and going home with my brother next weekend for the final exchange with the buyer, I either need to get some ordered or look at my car on jack stands
