Default the decision of wheels....

I have an 06 torch red GT and am looking for new wheels. I think I have narrowed it down to 2 different wheels, either the GT500 wheels


or torq thrust in black



I like the look of the gt500 wheels, but I don't want to look like I am trying to appear to be a gt500. I'm having a hard time finding wheels that I think would look good on the mustang. The gt500 wheels I can get brand new for about 600 bucks for the set, which is one of the big reasons I am leaning towards those. One of the perks of working in the tire industry I guess. Thoughts, opinions? Possible other suggestions?

Both are actually very popular choices for our cars. Do you have any black accents on your car? If you do, I would say go with choice #2. I have gt500 wheels on my gt, and it never gets confused for a 500.

no black accents other than my black intake. i'm kinda of debating on going with a black and red theme, even though I hate UGA with a mother f*cking passion. haha

They both will look really good.

Here's a pic of the GT500 wheels on a Torch Red

I would do the black torq thrust. A guy here has a torch red with black 20" bullitts and it looks freakin sick!

What size you getting? 18/20?
