The GT500s would look best of the three that you posted, IMO.

Picking wheels is right up there with picking which exhaust you want.

First, let me say that the 5 spoke Factory 19's look great.

Second, as a fellow Kona Blue owner, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that darker wheels just don't look good. I'm partial to a brushed nickel/silver, etc. whatever you want to call it. My eyes are always drawn to these more on the Kona Blue Mustangs, and for that matter, in general.

It's a tough choice though. The SVE drifts look good, as do the new set that Alan0614 put on his white car. But again, I love those factory 19's you have (and would be interested in buying them maybe), so what do I know...

I am of the opinion that anything silver, grey etc. looks too close to OEM finishes on every vehicle. for me, a big perk of modding my car is to make it stand out from the crowd. this may not be as important to you as it is to me, just something to think about.

Thanks sketchy, I really like the Drag wheels.

Entaille, the very reason I went with the lighter wheels is that it seems like most are running dark wheels now. But hey, that is why they make all colors. I had stock California Special wheels on mine and wanted something different.

My car is silver and this is what I am going with but would look great on a Kona.

My forgestar F14s in matte black are going to be here in a week. I'd say go with those but that will set you back $1800 just for the wheels. I know it's pricey, but in my opinion there is nothing better looking in a black wheel unless you go with AVD.1's or something, but those will run you 8 clips for a set. I def think you should lower the car too. Will look sick on those GT 500s

Folks,

Thank you for all the great feedback! I'm currently leaning to the gt500 wheels. I keep returning to them meaning the more i look at them the more i like em for the car. This is definitely one case of taking the time def helps in seeing what i would like best for the car. Now, just waitin on tax refund...

Thanks again. All the choices and suggestions are good, really cant go wrong with any of the ones everyones suggested.
