Those are VERY similar to the WedSport wheels that someone here on the forum has. It's a shame they aren't available in 19x10.

They remind a little bit of the Shelby Alcoa rims but not with the hefty $500 price tag, plus they are ultra lightweight (19 pounds each). I think they would compliment the Tungsten Grey color very well.

I'm diggin' those......

I would keep them, but....they aren't big enough width or heighth wise for my preference. They really just don't fill out the wheel well the way I want.

Just remember that upsizing to a 20" will only change the look by a 1/2 inch or so.

I need all the extra clearance I can get with my exhaust. I still can't lower the rear end of my car.

With the body upgrades you have the Raceline GT's would look pretty good...JMO.

I ran a staggered 20" set on my 06'GT.

Whats your running clearance? You'd think the Roush rear coils would drop just enough,maybe an inch.

I don't really have an inch to spare. The roads here suck and aren't condusive to lowered mustangs with side exhaust. Have trouble with some entry-ways now.

stangsunleashed is free. I don't pay for it. Are you saying that all the KR wheels are presold?

Im sorry but i reead everyones suggestions and no one stated the Foose Nitrous rims... They come in 20 and 18". I will be purchasing these wheels next summer and are by far the nicest i have ever seen on a mustang.. Here are a few pictures......

and they come in black and chrome... i think that both would look awsome on your car but black would give it the look it needs

My baby is back to stock height - now I can throw some long tube headers and not have to worry about scraping them on the monster
speed bumps I have to deal with in my condo parking lot. That and
yes the roads in SFLA stink !!
