hey guys looking to get rid of my rims soon and was looking at these 2 rims. There both black and that's my decision. Was just wondering what you guys think would look best on my car. I'm having trouble deciding lol.

20' Black Built Deep Dish Rims
Front would be 8.5 and back would be 10
http://www.americanmuscle.com/20x10-...itt-black.html

OR

19' 2010 GT500 style rims
Again front would be 8.5 and back would be 10
http://www.americanmuscle.com/black-...9x10-0510.html

I like the black bullitt's becasue of the chrome lip. I'm not a fan of all black wheels; I think it looks... ghetto.

Also (and I'll get flamed by some but it's MY opinion), I don't like the look of 20's OR 19's on these cars; too much wheel and too little sidewall. Again, ghetto IMO. I lmao at the "clown cars" I see so often in the south and I hate to see it even more on a Stang.

Get the Deep Dish Bullitts. IMO 2010 style GT500 rims look bad on a 05-09, plus I don't like the all black rim look.

I like the GT500's better than the Bullitts

Personally, I like the GT500 wheels. And I think an all-black rim looks cleaner and has a certain freshness to it that the chrome doesn't. Sorry Nuke, I've just seen a lot of chrome wheels. After a while, they all start to look sort of the same. That's not to say they don't look great or improve on the stockers, though. Just that they're sort of everywhere. I also prefer the 19's to the 20's. I think think the s197 can pull them off, but 20's are a bit much even for them.

At any rate stealth32, whichever rims you decide on, if you don't have the forum discount already, send me a pm and I'll hook you up.

To the OP: all chrome wheels on black cars make me want to kick kittens, good on you for bucking the trend (truth be told, I'm not much of a fan of the black with polished lip treatment as they remind me of my tuner days, BUT, at least they're not all chrome!) :-p

To 8180: which wheels are those i.e. from where?

To everyone else: having some good fun here, I wouldn't ever dare to kick kittens (possibly drown them, but never kick the lil bastards).

Absolutely it's the OP's choice. He needs to satisy HIS desire, not ours.

Certainly NO apology required. I personally went with the '07 GT500 takeoffs because I don't care for all that bling chrome either. The cast/brushed look does it for me.
