It depends on what you like really. Whatever looks good and appeals to you. Such as, for me, I'd rather have a wider wheels. The ones on my Vic are 17 inch but 7 inch wide. I think the Focus that's out now has 8 inch width. I'd like a bit more traction, but as far as size, I'd like to at least make the back 18 or 19.

But for YOUR Mustang, it's whatever you'd like to do

Wink

I can't decide.
I have one set of each for my V6.
It is really up to what you want.

IMHO 19's look great on the S197's they are just enough without being too much for the car.

Personally, I like the Bullitt wheels better, especially the anthracite color. Only problem I have with them, at least on the American Muscle site, is anything over 17 is a "deep dish" which on a Crown Vic might not look as appealing.

For a V6 I'd do Bullitt's or the '10 wheels up top to give the car a sporty look.

For a GT...I'd go with this bad***ery
