Default Opinions Wanted: Rims

Hey,

The time has come for me to get some new rims and tires.
I want 18x9.5 all around with 275/45 tires.

What do you all think would look best on my car?

Chrome GT500

Machined GT500

Black GT500

Chrome Steeda Pentar

Black Steeda Pentar

Any suggestions are appreciated too!

Thanks

FM

Im a jerk I guess... But the GT500 rims look like cheap rims off a regular passenger car. I dont like 'em

And the pentars look so basic, like many cheaper options.

I personally like Foose nitrous, the saleen black ones, and deep dish bullits. I know none of these fit what you're looking for but eh it can't hurt to throw an opinion out there....

I was leaning towards the black Gt500's at one time but just couldn't bring myself to liking the look. Part of me thinks they look like they belong on a ford ranger or something. I think the steeda's are slightly better aesthetically but, having no lip gives themmore of a european flair. Not that its bad. Its just not some people's style. As for the choice of black or chrome in any style, good luck. The blue stangs look great either way. I ultimately chose the Black Shelby cs69's in 18x9.5 (my car's black). They come in chrome and silver too. Warning though, they are heavy. Not on your list but just a suggestion..

It's windveil blue.

Fred chrome would be too much on a WB stang, I would go with the machined or polished. THe FR500 rims are awesome, but I would go for the GT500 before the pentar.
