I would go with the Drift of those two choices, but I had Drag DR-37 in Hyper Silver on my GT and loved the look of them. I don't especially like the "lip" on the spokes on the Drift wheels.

Here are the Drag-DR37 in black...

Joe95 GT,

This is a pretty good problem to have! You're stuck between two of the nicest Mustang wheels on the Market. Our 13' Gt500 wheels are brand new and are already flying off the shelf, they were a very frequently requested item so of course we had to deliver! Since you like both of these wheels, I see you like the Drifting/Mesh inspired design. Have you check you the AMR's?

The AMR's are definitely our best selling wheel and are featured in April 2013's Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords Magazine on page 110! I can put a custom kit together for you just in case you're interested. I would recommend going with a Charcoal or Gloss Black/Staggered finish, with your 12' Stang being Silver, that will look sick. Since you're after 19's, you could go with a 19x8.5 Front and 19x10 Rear. We have a few different tire options, but I would wrap them in the same size rubber as the Boss 302 and go with the a 255/40/19 and 285/35.19! This will give you a really aggressive and perfect Stance. Said and done with our Black Lug nuts and Full TPMS kit, you're looking at around $1780 shipped, free mounting and balancing with our forums discount!

Remember, this is just a recommendation that I think you'd really like! Let me know if there's anything I can do for you with the 13' GT500 wheels or the AMRs. You really can't go wrong with any of the wheels listed in this thread! I look forward to hearing from you, best of luck on your decision.

Our Mustang Experts are here Monday-Friday from 9AM-9PM EST and Saturdays from 9AM-5:30PM EST. If you want to hit them up, their number is 866.727.1266. I can also have one of them call you directly.

Here's a little eye Candy for you !



-Dan

the amr's would be ok but i am really looking for flat black, i believe i cant get both the others in flat black. I have the rtr style body stripe and the rtr spoiler and both are more of a flat black than glossy

I would go with the GT500s because they are a slightly different style than what everybody else has, although a flat black would accent the black on your car better. Also these type of wheels are a bitch to keep clean.

Went with the SVE drift wheels and nitto tire combo from latemodel restoration due to the fact american muscle did not offer either of the wheels i was looking at with them was offered in matte black (hint, hint american muscle). Was looking at the new gt500s and the AMRs. well anyways they are on the way and i feel like a kid at christmas time, they cant get here soon enough!! Guess next thing to do is start looking for lowering/handling kits any suggestion??

I've got flat black DR37s and I love them. Can't beat the price either. I got 20"s and Toyos for $1500 out the door from Discount plus they'll rotate your tires for free. They also switched out the TPMS for free so I didn't have to buy new ones. Sold my stocks for $400 so the whole thing didn't end up costing me too much
