What do you think about these rims

I am thinking about putting these on my mustang. What do yall think? Will they look good on my car? They are the TSW Mondello's Hyperblack. I am sticking with the 18s but will they work on factory tires? Thanks

I like the konig beyonds much better. It looks both modern and retro.

You can use your stock tires as long as its within the min/max ratings for its size to be mounted. I would 'up' it another 1/2" at least so you can fit wider tires later.

I think they would look good. My preference is any wheel that sticks to somewhat of a 5 spoke pattern for the S197's. Depends on the price too.

I like them, I think they will look good with some drilled rotors.

Yeah, those will look good with nice rotors and brakes behind them.

I like them, but I like alot of other wheels more. The fanblades look good, but they could look better. I think the S197's look the best when running wheels with big lips on them, like the DD bullitts and the Shelby series of rims. Just my opinion though.....

Your ride looks pretty good with the fan blades.As mentioned the dd Bullitts would look good with your Stang.
The hyperblack finish is realy nice on the wheel you picked.Just go for it.

The wheel looks a little too anorexic for me.
