Default Can't decide on wheels

Hey everyone, I'm having a small problem. I want to pick up a new set of rims but I cannot decide on a look. I've asked a couple of friends but I would like more input on this.

I'm in the search for a staggered set of 19" rims, something with a muscle car look to it like the charcoal AMR wheels (which i possibly might wind up with). My mustang is a Yellow '06 GT with charcoal leather interior. Any suggestions?

I liked that look but wanted something a little different. MRR makes this wheel in a gray as well which I almost went with...I liked them because the price was right! This is a staggered set of 20's

Well what's your price range? Are you worried about them affecting performance or just mainly want syle?.. I think charcoal and matte black look great on yellow so that's a good choice there.

That picture looks awesome AJ lol. I have to get coil overs and drop it too eventually. I'd go with 20s but it would probably be a bad idea because I'm in Brooklyn & the roads here aren't all perfect lol. Driving around in these 5 boros will ruin them.

Trex I don't really have a price range, I'm open to anything really. That's what I said about the charcoal and yellow combo. I'm probably going to wind up customizing a stripe and laying that on the car in charcoal to match the wheels

whatever you get, id go with a 28 inch height tire if i could redo it instead of 27 inch. will eliminate more wheel gap while giving you a bit more ground clearance also. This will look better but be a bit heavier and therefore perform slightly worse.

What color is your car?

Well if you're open to anything I'd like to recommend Vossens.. A combo will run about 3k, but it's a great wheel and very high quality.. If you're looking to stay cheaper than though I can recommend other choices.

Mrr sales the same rim U2 in a 18 or 19 inch rim. The set cost me....ready?.....$1600 with tires!! The tires are not great but hey I couldn't pass up the deal. Good luck though and take your time, a wheel can either make or break your car.

I have a yellow 06 GT with charcoal leather as well, I'll post a picture later since my sig doesn't show when I'm mobile. I have 245/45/19 Pirellis on 2011GT Premium wheels. I like them and since they were take-offs I got them cheaper than any aftermarket wheel tire combo.
