Default Wheels?

Just looking around to try to find some new wheels and I know most people here don't like 20's on the mustang but I'm thinking they would look best because I've seen various people with them and they don't look bad. Car is black and I wanted black rims but not solid black and no chrome. These are the ones I like the most out of the few I have looked over :

That is a fine looking wheel except for the fake bolts. I just can't get over those. They make the wheel harder to clean and while not a lot add weight needlessly. I hope the fake bolt fade runs its course soon they ruin a lot of wheels that way.

Now if you can afford real three piece wheels that would be cool. BBS wheels used 7mm titanium screws which were only used once and the centers are routinely checked for cracks. I used to go to a scrape yard near the Rouch plant in Livonia and picked up BBS center cookies with cracks made a couple clocks from them.

Yea, the rims on my eclipse have those stupid bolts, but hey I got them really cheap so who cares, but I could actually afford 3 piece rims just never looked into them.

i would look into them, the weight savings alone allow for a great performance increase. on top of that you get beautiful wheels that are custom fitted to your car, and made to the specifications that you desire.

Those wheels would look good on your car. You should also check out the Dub Modular wheels.

I don't want 100% black but the polished pieces in the rim set it off, I'm thinking about just going with those since they have a set that are 8.5/10" front/rear, will have to see in a few months when I am back home
