For that kind of $ I would put a club on every tire.

Wanted to get some opinions before spending $4500. I really wanted 18's - but 19's are the smallest option.
I think those wheels are tight! Would look fantastic and look the opposite of bling. If I could change anything on those wheels it would be the area where the rivets/screws are, by the lip: instead of black, I like the polished look-like the lip.
Think about the forged "Fuches" wheels that were on 911s in the late 70s and 80s: Polished lips with black spokes and centers. They looked great. And while I agree that a polished and black bullitt wheel looks great as well (very similar to the 911 wheels I just talked about), I think this 05 Mustang could stand a more up-to-date wheel.
I'm not into flash, at least not the flash that would be noticed by non-car people, as in...BIG CHROME 20s like on an Escalade. I do like "car-guy-flash"....the wheels you have selected fit this description. They are awesome looking, strong, light, and in the spirit of a real power car! For $4500, see if they'll make them with just the spokes and centers polished. You won't be disappointed AND you will have a unique car, which is difficult with a Mustang because of the volume of cars on the road.
I'll post a pic. of the 911 wheels so you can get a mental image.

Just called AFS. They don't offer those wheels in the correct offeset, nor do they plan to in the immediate future. :-(

here is a pic of the black rims on a black car that I think look good. Just a reference to my reply above Lou.
