Id skip painting the horse yellow IMO , but its your car
Flaming will happen on this forum but everyone has their own taste.Some dont get that.
But cant hold it in

I like the Mustang the way it was born with a few little cosmetic (tinting windows and lights) other than that maybe some FR500 wheel

IMO if it is only going to be temporary just use paint and do it yourself. Save yourself alot of money and put that money towards your new wheels. Just my 2 cents.

Good point
If hes in it for the long run then PC them.
If not paint will work for temp use.

That's why I was wondering how much it was because I've seen some pretty sweet deals on the black bullitts I'm interested in. Even the staggered sets for 315's.

I think my ideal goal is just to make my stock wheels more fun...and I'll keep an all season tire on them, and use them in the winter.

Then I'll buy the bullitts and run a staggered 17x9 with 255's and a 17x10.5 with 315's for the rest of the year.

Good combo, That what I run for tire size on Cobra.
You cant go wrong with our vendor AM for wheels and tires.
from experience dont get the Sumi tires , get the Nittos NT555.

Sumis are garbage !!!!

I think the inner looks good, not really a fan of the all black wheel, saw a set once with Carbonfiber instead of paint it looked great

If you're trying to save you can always do vinyl insert on them as well.
