Can't decide...please vote!

So I am most likely finally getting some new wheels and tires. Probably within a month or two. I can't decide on color or style. I pretty much narrowed it down to replica fr500's or deep dish cobra r's. Second thing is I can't decide between black or chrome. Im just not completely sure black would look right on my car. (05 legend lime gt) Most likely ordering a package deal from cruzin concepts wholesale. Any suggestions,pics, or input is appreciated.

I tried to buy a legend lime when I was looking for my car and if I had gotten it I would've put black wheels on it ...

Chrome never goes out of style, but neither does black. If my ride were green (I'm presuming that's yours in your avatar) I'd roll with the chrome unless you're planning on adding some black accents elsewhere.

I'd go with chrome fr500's. Or you could get black chrome.

I hate to throw another option in but I think gunmetal would look best. Chrome is great and so is black but they're both very extreme colors. Which is good of you want that, but all I can think of is the muscle cars with some of the same greens as your car and grey wheels look fantastic on them. Theyre a muscle look but not overly flashy

Thanks for all the opinions. That was one of the reasons I was kind of deciding against chrome. I don't want it to look overwhelmingly flashy. I feel like chrome on legend lime looks a little off I'm not sure why. Especially if they are 20's. If I were to get chrome I would get 18's. Any other color black or anthracite (I hope that's how you spell it lol) I was considering getting 20's

I'm biased against black because you can't see the wheel; it blends in and all I see is black.

If it were me, black for sure. Just my view, but the Mustang isn't meant to be a flashy or gaudy looking car.

Totally agree. I've pretty much ruled out chrome. Looking for a nice grey/machined look

Yeah!! These would look killer on your car and they have a chrome lip so it is a little flashy

The ones on the foose magnaflow mustang look about the same. Might give you an idea of them on a car. Or there's a YouTube video of a black mustang driving around a parking lot with them. Found it while I was looking for exhaust videos. I think if you search borla stuff you can find it.
