I found these on another site. What do you think of the 20" wheels?

I was meaning to ask about the size of the wheel on the new car, not the style.

I like the wells filled up like they are.

The rears look like they're pushed out just a little but too much.

I can see an air intake where the fog lights went.

Chop or not, that is hideous. It looks like it should be bouncing up and down.

I agree. It's overkill.

Those aren't air intakes. That is where the artist photochopped the fogs out. One picture has fogs the other doesn't. A larger wheel does compliment the car but those are just silly.

The overall Diameter looks ok. Wonder if it'd look weird with that same overall diameter on 18" rims.

I do think the car needs at least an 18" wheel, but those are overkill, especially the rears.

Nah, those things are just right.....In second thought as Mannie Fresh says they need to get bigger so it's "REAL BIG!" Lets see about getting some two-tone paint on the bad boy as well.

20's only look good on trucks and those land mammoths I just call "Super-Size Me SUV's." What's really classic is I can't count the amount of times I've seen some 5'0" chick jump out of something like the GMC Denali or the Ford Excursion.

18" rims is the max for something like the Mustang IMO.

I think I'm just gonna go with 18's and wait for Saleen or someone to put out a proper lowering kit.... you know, with offset rack bushings, ball joint bushings, etc. so that the geometry stays true to design. Plus, the amount of power that just gets tossed out the window by adding a larger circumfrance wheel..... throw some 20's on there and you'd better think about gearin' up to 3.73's.

From my sig you can tell I'm a fan of larger rims but for this car I really liked the 18's with the white lettering on the show car. That is probably the way I'll go. 19's could be a possibility but these cars should have more tire.

I'm not to sure it looks that bad. I don't like wider wheels on the back at all. I want the same size all the way around. 20 inch looks pretty cool but those rims look a little too flashy for me. If I am worried about size of the rim I'm not switching to 18's for one lousy inch. To much money for new rims and tires on a car I just bought... no thanks. Bet those rims and tires are expensive though..

To me it looks horrible on those suvs. Makes them look like bling bling mobiles.
Cars like the viper come with large rims and that looks pretty cool IMO anyway.

I guess I would have to see the mustang with those rims in person before I could judge it though.

Nothing is wrong with a little those trucks look hot. Now when they are lowered with the big rims then I think that looks stupid.
