Default 20" Chrome Dubs on a mustang?

Someone is selling 4 20" chrome dub rims for pretty cheap, but I wasnt sure if they would look good on a convertible v6 mustang. Mine is tungsten grey with a 1.5" drop, and I have seen 20" chrome rims on the saleen mustangs, but those have body kits, so i am not sure if mine will end up looking like the saleens or like an off road ghetto vehicle. here is a pic of the rim, let me know what you guys think.

they would probably look ok, i would go with a more sporty looking 5 spoke or something, but if you think it will look good then go for it.

I think it would look pretty good. Way better than the stock rims and tires.

Putting on chrome 20's, i assume you aren't concerned about performance at all...and just for looks, i think 20's do look great on a Mustang. Not sure i dig those particuler ones though.

some 20's look good on our stangs but, i would nt go bigger than 18's any bigger just looks dumb. wouldnt you rub on the fender with 20s and a drop?

Ya, I think 18s are perfect and anything bigger might be too gangster. This just seemed like a good deal and the guy selling them was right in my neighborhood, but he took them off an SUV. Rubbing might be an issue, im not sure until I try it. Plus I dont want to lose much performance, and it seems like 20s would be alot of extra weight and size for the v6 engine to pull. Thanks for all the advice! Anyone know a good place to get 18" chrome tire/wheel sets??

Some advice, if you don't want to lose performance, don't get chrome rims. Unless you go f/i and then it doesn't really matter as much, lol

if you know the guy who's selling them, then just throw one on there and see how it looks and fits.
