A great looking car, congrats on your first stang. My car is my first stang too. As much I as I would love a 2014 model, I just can part with my first baby......she is too special.

What mods are you planning? You must have a list!

I do have a list. Hood scoop, 1/4 window louvers, side scoops, staggered wheels & tire combo and lower first. Gonna need help finding a nice 19" set up.

19's are pricey. 18's will give it that muscular stance with some 255s up front and 285s out back and not kill the wallet. Enjoy the journey. Getting a new mod here and there is the real fun IMO.

Don't get 18's, whatever you do!!! Way too small of a wheel for this body style. Perfect for anything '09 and earlier tho

After looking on line at one of the sponsor's sites, looks as if the 20's are cheaper than 19's. Whats the consensus on 20's on this body style?

Not a fan of 20" wheels myself but lots of other people like them.

Too big unless your brake rotors are an absolute minimum 15" diameter. Standard GT brakes look positively scrawny inside 20's.
