Default What Size Wheels?

I have a Sterling Gray 2010. The two wheels I have to choose from are the Staggered Black Bullitt Wheel and the Black 2010 GT500 Wheels, both from American Muscle. Problem is, I cant decided on the size, 18", 19", or 20". My car came with the 19" premium wheels and they look decent. What size fits this body style in the wheels I listed above? Thanks!

not my section but chiming in anyway.
I keep coming back to the black 2010 gt500's too, they look so damn nice and cant wait for tax refund<please be alot>
Trying to decide myself between the 18 and 19in rims, AM doesnt carry a 20inch in the '10 gt500's but it would be to much for me anyway.

Same here man! My refund should be here this week(about 7 grand) and I'm torn on the wheel size. On my 2004, 18" was perfect. This body style is "bigger", so I'm thinking bigger wheels are best? I don't know! I just don't want to waste $1500 on wheels that don't look right.

personal opinion: a slightly lowered stang with 20" wheels and proper sized tires fills the wheel well gap quite well.

19" tires are super expensive compared to 18 or 20" too. I'd either go 18" or 20".

But 18"s seem to be harder to find tires for .

18's on a 2011+ don't look too bad, especially if you go with an all black wheel. It's usually 18" wheels with a polished lip that look smaller, because the black part of the wheel is only 16 inches or whatever. I wouldn't hesitate to go with an all black 18" wheel and tire combo.

You could also take a look at our new AMR wheels. We have them in 19", and a reasonable tire selection as well. Now days, we even sell a 19" Mickey Thompson drag radial for them.

Here are the 19" x 8.5" and 19" x 9.5" Charcoal AMR Wheels on the AmericanMuscle.com 2012 Mustang GT Project Car, Project Blackout!

I am up in the air with lowering. I wanted to go the cheap route with springs only, but the guys here told me not to. I just hate to spend over $1000 just for lowering. Cheap Bastard!!!!
