I thikn you should lower it and get your chin put on first......then worry about what you think will look better....the car will look completely different once it's lowered and has that chin on it

I was so close to buying a white one with red interior. I would have put white wheels on it too. Go with the red!

When I put the cursor over the topic and read the brief description and saw white powder coated rim I thought FAIL! But when I saw the picture of your car its definitely a WIN, now as far as the stripes I would recommend matte black GT500 stripes. Will match the rockers and rear valance! BTW where did you get the wheels and what are they called?

What do you guys thik would look better or should I just leave it like that & add my Springs & Chin?

Take a look at this website http://fordcustomgraphics.com/mustang.php?type=coupe

You can pick the color of the car and try different kinds of stripes. After you pick the stripe you want to see you can pick the color. The srtipes are sold through Ford, but you can just see what you like and then by the stripes anywhere.

really? lol your the only person that has talked bad about the white wheels since I got them... plus I didn't know that It was a mandatory to have black or silver rims only to match a specific color of stripes .. fyi, since there is less color combination on the car it will actually look better and any color stripe will stand out more

in my opinion its more common to see black on black or white on black... I really don't see white on white that much ... I have gotten so many compliments on my 5.0. with this color theme

They are Sportmax and the model is xxr502, I ordered them off a catalog in a local rim store.
I initially bought them for my Roush and ordered them in 20"x10"s all around but I sold the sold and kept them. Their two piece wheels and their super light way lighter then my old Roush wheels...
