I don't care for black wheels, and think simple patterns like Bullits, stars or Saleen wheels look good on a silver car, and in silver or chrome give it some necessary brightening up.

The key point was already said, though--go with what *you* want, that's all that matters.

The other thing is that if you are smart enough to care about the huge visual impact wheels have on a car like the Mustang, then you will probably keep your wheels clean and in great shape, which is half their eye candy appeal anyway, regardless of rim color. Good luck to you, sounds like a nice car....

Good looking wheel. I can see that on just about any stang. BUT, dont back yourself in a corner with an 8.5" rim. Go with at least an 9.
One day you might want and need a really wide tire on the rear to control wheelspin.

I went with 18 x 9's and slapped 285's on the rear. I am not in dire need of 285's, but Ive set the car up for future growth.

Hope this helps and good luck with your choice.

To be honest with you, I don't really care for black rims either. If I were going to switch from my factory 18" polished bullits I think it would be for something easily cleaned and stylin like these. Scroll way down to see multiple angles. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MakeTrack=true
If they're good enough for a $150,000 GT they're good enough for me lol. If they were the real thing they'd be that much better!

18 x 8.5 in the front

18 x 10 in the rear

scrapping the black striped and going with tungsten stripes(painted) to match the rims



what do you think?

mikefan20

I think it goes better on your car than the black rims would..... go for it.

Those are basically knockoffs of the Halibrand Cobra III. Halibrands are THE original.
