oh forgot to add INVOS are awesome! before i bought them i test drove mustang in my car club with different tires and the invos are best hands down...i almost got the kdw2s cause i love the flame pattern but after driving with them in and then trying the invos my decision was easy. and the invos are cheaper.
also my car has been dropped 1.3 inches with vogltand springs since those pictures and it looks even better now.

So, anyone have any rim recomendations (sp.)? I was leaning torward Konig Unknowns but they only come in 20 x 8s...
None of the Konig rims come in 20 x 10s from what I can tell...
I like that style of rim though...
I also like Foose Nitrous but I'm scared they may be too flashy?
I don't like all black rims, however...
Any suggestions (remember they most come in 20 x 10 and 20 x 8)?

Just look through some posts and check out other peoples rims. There are a lot out there to choose from. In the end, get the ones you like best.
I just got my 20's. I've had my car for almost 2 years and it took me this long to decide which rims I wanted.

Go with a 20"(rim size) x 8"(width) or 9"(width) for the front rims, and 20"(rim size) x 9"(width) or 10"(width) for the rear. Now for tires, if you want to drop the car and stay comfortable, get a 35 or 40 tall sidewall tire all the way around, and if your tire width exceeds 275 (your stock ones are 225) on any wheel, prices will go up a lot. Rosso's are overrated IMO, Invo's are the best performing and quality tire for the money

So, I said no black rims...I may be changing my mind...
Anyone like this?
There are so many choices, it is unfair. I could sit here all week and be just as overwhelmed as I am now...

Anyone want to chime in with some ideas? I know it is a personal preference but I think I need to see some Mustang owner ideas to jump start me on my search...
Anyone like the rims I posted above? They seem a little different. I'm looking for something that is cool and flashy but not over the top or played out...

Okay, thanks for the replies.
I am 99% sure I want 20s. I'm looking for appearance over performance on the rim aspect...
So, in terms of tires, what should I look for (xxx/xx/xx). What is the third number? I understand that the first number is tread width, second is sidewall height, but I don't get the third...ohhhh, rim size...
So, anyone else vouch for Invos? Is there anything else I should look at? Any other size preferences? What width should I look for in front?
Also, what life should I expect out of these tires (miles wise)?
Does this seem weird to you guys? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nitto...Q5fAccessories
I'm just skeptical as to why someone would have take-off tires with under 100 miles on them...should I go for this or no?

go with the invos I love them! i'm running 275/35/20's in the front with 295/35/20's in the back. awesome tire. the grip is great wet/dry. example: i was driving in the rain last night and went around a turn and whacked the gas and they broke free... car started to kick out in the back and as SOON as I let off the gas the tires gripped with force and sent the car straight again. very predictible tires and I'm much more confident driving with them.
