No Offense, but I think the 20s look great. Everyone has an individual taste, and that is why manufacturers make all sorts of choices for the aftermarket world. 20s look good in my opinion, and so do 18s. It is just a personal opinion, but don't put peoples opinions down for customizing their vehicle.

Round here the best they do is take the base mustang and church it up with a spoiler and tape stripes- for WAY more money than if you just upgraded to the higher one..

The big mustang dealer here(Roush dealer) takes the sixes and does some :scratch: to em- odd side stripes- graphics, spoilers, scoops(plastic), vents(plastic) and pinstripes for a small fortune. ($500-$100 worth of options you could get at autozone for like $10)

The dealer i bought my car from has a HUGE run of Silver sixers. They have like 4 sitting out front, its all monochrome. BUT they don't frick theirs up, cause they don't sit there for long.

I agree, it is certainly a matter of individual taste, but my opinion (which nobody asked for) is that when the wheel is so large and flashy, it tends to detract from the rest of car.

And the 05 is not just a cookie-cutter Honda. The 05 does not need a flashy, disproportionate wheel to draw attention.

A lot of time went into the design and the retro style of the 05 - the body lines, the interior, really the whole package. I hate to see it distorted - like the 7 foot wide top fuel dragster wing on the back of a Kia. ? ?

Having said all that, I do like the rims on Adrenalin's car.

I think it is all in the wheel itself. 20"s can look great (SSE, Saleen, et al.) and are NOT "bling" just becasue they are 20" (contrary to popular belief around here). It is the chromed out funky designs that truly classify as "bling." And those, I do not like very much.

I feel you guys, I'm in my low 20's so I am part of the generation that's doing it, but big shiny wheels just look nasty, especially on a Mustang. I love 20's on the Mustang but not chrome. I went with a dark gray color, and I think it looks pretty good.

It's at Gainesville Ford? I may have to stop by to take a look at it today or tomorrow. Someone needs to visit that poor, sick pony and let it know we are all praying for it.

Street Scenes Equipment, but they don't make wheels.

They make about the best looking body kit out there for the '05. It actually looks like it was made for the Mustang as opposed to all the "afterthought" looking ones out there.

They also make an authentic looking ducktail spoiler that fits the lines of the car. Unlike the ones that look like they were originally made for another car.
