Default Any thoughts on these wheels?

I'm pretty skeptical about the "Gold" finish but I would love to see pictures of a black car with these wheels...

I think there's been a recent outbreak of "wheel fever"...

I think that would look great, not just on black but on a few other colors including the darker blues and grey/silvers. Accent that with some gold stripes (and I'm not a stripe fan either) and you'd certainly have MY attention.

Yeah, alot of the "wheel fever" has been my doing and I apologize. I must admit though that you were the last person I thought would be onboard with these wheels. I'm not a big stripe fan either but you never know. I guess my question now is, how do I know if the back spacing is correct so they don't sit too deep in the fender wells.?

Try the TSW "Wheel Visualizer".

It uses a black Mustang vert

That's awesome. Thanks. Not sure how I missed that. I think they look great.

You just need to find out the offset of the OE wheels and then pick what tire size you're putting on the new wheels. Offset shouldn't be much of an issue if you're staying within about a 275. I can send you a spreadsheet that can graphically compare the footprint of your OE tire vs the new tire based on tire AND wheel specs. PM me with your addy.

You can also bring this to the chop shop section of the forum (https://mustangforums.com/forum/chop-shop-44/

Someone, most likely Xeno, will photoshop the wheels right on your mustang.
