Default Help me choose which wheels!

Okay, I'm about a month or two away from needing new tires so it's a perfect time to get some new wheels too. I have an '08 Torch Red GT that has the regular ol' stock 17" Bullitts. I want to go 18s and stick to a Ford product. I've narrowed it down to the below wheels. I know it's subjective but I'm just curious what, on average, most Mustang owners will think will look best so I've set up a poll (I hope)!

First, profile view of my Mustang:



The contenders:

2007-09 SVT:


2007-09 SVT (black):


2010 SVT:


Ford Racing Matte Black:


Ford Racing Black Bullitt:

The Ford Racing Blk Bullit gets my vote. For whatever reason I love how that wheel looked on the 07-08 Shelby Gt's!!!!

If I may throw one more choice.....they are NOT Ford Racing, but are awesome!!!

TSW Nurburgring....I think they look great on our cars!

I agree with the Black Bullits, if not go with the Black 07-09 SVT.

My neighbor has a 2010 Shelby GT500 and I really like those rims.

I voted for the black Bullits, but the SVT are smooth. I am in the same boat as you, going to change my 17" bullits when my tires need to be swapped.

Do you have the black SVTs on yours? I am having no luck finding pics of that wheel mounted. Very rare wheel indeed. Although I did see it on that guy's copper Mustang project. Didn't really blow me away, though.

Hmmmm either the black bullits or GT500 wheels either color would look good IMO.

All of em would be a big improvement but I voted for the 2010 SVT cause Im rather partial to them since its the same rim I switched to last year for my 06 GT. lol

In the minority, but I like the 07-09 SVT black myself, out of the options given
