Default Regretting My 18's

I am starting to regret getting my 18's. I look and my brothers GTO and he has 19's with low profile tires(35's) while I have 45's. I hate the look of 20's on a mustang but my 18's look like they have too much rubber on them. So this brings up my question...why do mustang wheels come in the usual 18's and 20's? Not too many people have 19's which I think is the perfect size.

I LOVE MY WHEELS, but all I am saying is that 19's would have looked a little bit better.

You got any pics of the car with 19s bc I was doing the debate on the 18s vs 20s and decided on 18s bc felt like 20s were a little bit too big especially for the v6. The thing with 19s is not only are there not as many wheels in that size but tires would cost a fortune.

That's what I thought too, but someone on here a while back had 19's and said his tires were actually very reasonable, moreso than tires for 18's. Maybe he was blowing smoke, idk

19's are available on the 2010 Mustang.

Before you get so gung-ho on getting 19's....price the tires. 19s are STUPID expensive.

I love the look o 18's. Less looks ricy IMO.

Really? I hope that person finds this tread and educates me then. The thing is though that the options are soo limited in 19s. For instance I feel in love with the Razors and have a set waiting to be put on but they don't come in 19s. Go look on tirerack and there are only 20 options in the 19 size wheels. But if someone has some sexy 19s on and didn't pay a buttload please show me

This might sound lame, but in the picture of your car, the rubber seems really noticeable because it's kind of dull. Throw some tire dressing on them to blacken them up a bit. Maybe that'll help them blend in. In any case, I wouldn't sweat it. 19s are not going to look significantly better than 18s. At best, you'll knock a half inch off the sidewall height. Doesn't seem worth the expense.
