When I see silver rims I think to myself [can't afford chrome] or rice because they all have silver rims.

Has anyone seen a mustang with 18's on the front and 20's on the rear, preferably with some more tire on the back?

I like some of the custom rods foose has made but I can't stand when he touches 'factory cars'. His mustangs he has done look like crap to me.

Now having said that, those wheels look really nice on your car. I also don't like the black but the chrome are nice. Some of his other wheel patterns are to 'foosey' for me but those do look nice and mean.. Congrats!!

Here are a couple more...one shot is the same side view but a bit closer, the other is more of a front view. I dont have anymore pics available. I will take more when I can and upload them.

I do have the roush rear springs to get rid of the factory gap, but to be honest with you, Im not into heavily lowered cars. I may get the complete roush suspension kit because lowering is minimal. Any suggestions on a tight suspension upgrade with minimal lowering?

As for the color of the wheels above...those are definately custom painted. Too silver. If you check out the available Foose Nitrous wheels they come in Chrome, Silver (which is actually grey like mine) and Black. The pic above has to be a custom job.
Does anyone know how much it would cost me to custom paint the wheels like the ones above and which wheels would I need, the Chrome or Silver to paint them.

I agree with you...most of the foose wheels wouldnt look good on a factory car...but he did a great job with these. I love his soon to be release of the 2007 Foose Mustang.

Thanks for the compliment though...Im very happy with the way the wheels set the car off. In less than a week, I cant tell you how many people have stopped me at lights to make compliments.

I really like those rims. Not a big fan of black rims either. My car is Tungsten Grey so I think those Foose wheels in the silver might look pretty good, as they look close to the color. What do you guys think, chromo or the silver ones for a tungsten grey car?

Just put the silver's on last week...20 x 10's rear (275, 35, 20 Nitto) 20 x 8.5's front (255, 35, 20 Nitto). Sets a black car off!! I was debating on the chrome, but I wasnt looking for something too loud.

Im having a tough time posting pics, but I will figure it out by tonight.
I have to agree on this one!

I vote for the grey, but then again i have gunmetal shelby's and think the grey sets the car off alot.

I vote gray. The color changes in different lighting since there is metalic flake in the paint. Bright sun makes them look very light silver even though the actual color is rather dark.

Black wheels are too hard to make out, and the Nitrous in Chrome is WAY too much for my taste, at least in 20s. I hate chrome anyway so the silver was perfect for me.

I vote for the black, I think it goes really well with Tungsten grey. The silver are just too similar to a million other bullitt-style wheels out there IMO.
