Wheel decisions! Tell me what you think
I am going to order rims, i am stuck between 2 rims. My mustang is the dark red 03 Gt. I like the Saleen and the Cobra SVT 5 spoke rims...Which do u guys like better and do you have pics? And i dont know to go with Chrome or Black ones...they would both look sweet imo. And last i think im going to get 18s but do they look to big for a stang? Will 18s slow me up much compared to the 17s? Thanks alot. SHOW ME THE PICS!

Don't go with a black rim, they look horrific unless you have a silver car.
A few members on here have pictures of their red cars with some NICE Chrome Saleen rims, hopefully they will chime in here, because they look excellent.
And as far as the size, I would go 18's. 18x9's up from 18x10s in the rear FTW.

Please don't get black... Get the chrome and keep them clean, will look much better than black. 18" saleens would probably look more unique, well at least around here.. Since it seems like that every time I see a new edge, it has cobra rims on it.. The weight difference is not going to slow you down a whole lot

i think the 03-04 cobra wheels look awesome.. but so do the saleens.
on the same note.. has anyone ever got 18x9-10 and 17x8-9 up front??
so it gives that impression of a rake toward the front?

how about every color. black wheels scream "I'm cheap and have bad taste. Please *** rape me!"
