those look like some nice rims. i think it would look good but its hard without seeing it on there. personally i like polished better but blacks cool too.

They would look funny b/c the offset is much higher than a regular 4-lug stang wheel. find a stang wheel on summit and compare the 2. The backspacing is higher too, since it's only 7" wide...

BTW, the offset is the distance from the center point of the wheel to the backside where the wheels mount. So if you had a 17x7 wheel (like the one listed above), 1/2 of the width is 3.5". The wheel mounts 48mm from that center point (3.5"). Basically, your wheels will not come out to your fender wells and it will look funny. Go to tirerack.com TECH and it explains it better than I did.

I agree with you, black rims are the way to go. But I would like to make a suggestion when you decide which ones you want. Try choosing a black rim that has a polished or chrome lip and also maybe a chrome/polish center cap. This would help break up the all black rim. And yes black rims would look just great on you silver stang.
