Default Decision on Wheels

Been thinking about getting new wheels for my 07 PW Mustang GT. I have dropped down to two choices:

20" Dark Horse True Saleen wheels, which will be powder coated to black.

or

20" Dark Gray or Stealth Black Foose Nitrous Staggered.

Which way is a good path to take on? Been leaning more towards the dark horse wheels lately. Oh, pictures would be great too.

Haha, ok. Here are they.

Here's my car. It's hard to see the wheels, it's Giovanna 5-spoke Cuomo Flat Black. I am also considering to not buy new rims and just fix these wheels and keep them on my ride (two scraped around the rim and two bent). What do you think?



Here's a better picture of the wheel



20" Dark Horse Saleen Wheels which will be powder coated black later on if I get this



or

20" Dark Gray Foose Nitrous Wheels (the lip will be powder coated dark gray later on if I get this) I consider Dark Gray on these wheels because it shows more details than Stealth Black I think.

I never have liked the Foose nitrous. All black wheels are hard to see and blend with the tire too much imo. But I think either your original or the Saleen would look good.

I do like the Giovanna wheel in black and the seven spoke Saleen wheel [even better in black]. Not crazy about the Foose wheel too traditional for me.

I vote for the stealth Foose's! On a side note, I think cruzin concepts is running a sale on these.

Same here when I was shopping for wheels. I was going for the 5-spoke, flat black type wheels and they were one of my choices.

That's why I didn't consider all black (or Stealth Black) of Foose Nitrous because they don't show details at all.

Thanks for your suggestion. I do like my wheels too but now I'm stuck between keeping these or get Saleen wheels, then powder coat them in black.

I did notice they are running a sale now but it's pretty pricey too. Matter of fact, if I were to get new wheels, I could get Saleen wheels and tires for roughly $1499 from eBay compared to Foose Nitrous for $2200 from cruzinconcepts.


Now it's either keeping the originals and get it fixed or get Saleen wheels and powder coat them black. What do you guys think? I still would like to keep the muscle/mean look of my 'stang.

Go on craigslist and look up foose nitrous wheels, chances are you can find a decent set with tiers for around $1,000 bucks
