Default Not another one of THOSE threads!

Sorry. It is. My first though....

I think I'm going to get new wheels after this winter (this is my DD). That's about the time I'll need new tires anyway - so I think I'll get some snow tires mounted to my old rims.

I want to know what rims would look nice with my car. I'm thinking just 18 inch - don't want performance to suffer too much. I like the wheels on the GT/CS. Are those just called "polished aluminum"?

Any help is appreciated.

check out their 18"'s, that is what I plan on doing. Polished aluminum is the way to go if you don't like chrome or black.

I ended up going 18's also. I think they are a good balance between filling the wheel well and performance jmo.

I'm a fan of black rims.

My original plan was to go 20"s but after seeing PLstang's car in person, I instantly fell in love with the 18's with the tires he went with.

Now, those are the polished bullits, right? I think there's a difference?

I am partial to these. You can get them in Black, GunMetal or Chrome.

It will be Gun Metal for my Satin Silver Stang. 18x9 on the front 18x10 on the rear.
