19 inch wheels!
Im looking into getting some 19" wheels for my 06 mustang gt. Having some trouble in deciding on a set of rims. Please post pictures of your stang lowered on 19s! I'm especially interested in the saleen heritage wheels.

You DO know that you're in the 2005-2013 forum, right?...
19" wheels will limit your choice of tires and may also add some additional rotational mass compared to smaller wheels. Some people will notice the performance loss, others won't. Then there are people like me that think that bigger wheels make our Stangs look like clown cars (unless done just right).

Plenty of tire options for the 19". You have the option of running a square set up or staggered. I'll be running 19" soon with 285 35 19 or 275 35 19. I just need to select a tire.
I'll be running SVE Drifts. I recently had them powder coated gun metal, they were silver when I bought them.
As Nuke mention performance may suffer slightly but it really depends on your wheel choice and your foot. Remember their are many wheel aftermarket wheels that are lighter than stock wheels and aftermarket wheels which are much heavier. One more thing wheels tread are cool but the search button works wonders too.
