Default opinion on rims

Alright guys, finally have my stang lowered using the eibach pro kit plus and im looking to upgrade from those 18" stock rims. Hopefully 19s or 20s...

Im looking into getting black rims, as i have a candy red 2010 GT with a Black convertible top. The red and black theme looks great. With that being said, im interested in these two rims:

can't go wrong with either really. I like the styling of the AMR wheels, but the classic Bullitt style will never really go out of style.

this is a personal preference and budget question - you have to pick what YOU like best. I know that can be hard sometimes when you have options : )

I know its a preference, i just like to hear what other people would do if it were their car. I wish i could find sve drift wheels in 19s or 20s in gloss black

Oh gee, I would go with black bullitts! I love that classic style, but beware of the clear coat coming off on them. Two of my friends got black bullitts from AM a few years ago and their clear coat began to peel off within the first year (everything worked out thanks to AM's great customer service). I got mine from ebay and they've lasted for a good 3+ years, but now the clear is beginning to flake off. So good luck if you go that route.

My latest crave is the Carroll Shelby CS70 wheels. A little more expensive, but I think Cruisin' Concepts has them in the $1,8xx range with nittos.

It reminds me of the classic bullitt style, but with a modern twist.



It's all personal preference, but I think a lowered red candy with black top could rock the **** out of those

I just grabbed a set of 4 AMR 19" Charcoal color rims. I bought them at the Philly show this past Sunday, got $100 off (Since I placed 2 separate orders with $50 off each order)







I like them, upset though, the guy who mounted one rim chipped the lip on it.

So I had to order a new one, will keep that one as a spare.

You should post larger pics, these ones are hard to see.

Or just link these, so others can click them, instead of screwing up the page display.
