Need Rim Opinions

I'm ready to order some rims, I'd like to get some opinions on these Zenetti Stella's. The size will be F:19x8.5 R:19x9.5 and a chrome finish like the pics show.

I found a pic of these rims on a corvette and used my "amazing" photoshop skills to get an idea of how they would look on my car.

I'm set on getting 19s though, based on what I've read on these forums they seem to be a reasonable trade-off between looks and performance.

Opinions Please...

DUDE! Did you put Corvette brakes on you Mustang!?!?
kidding

19" seem like a good choice. Make sure you back spacing is made for the 05+ stangs.

I looked at those when I was deciding on my rims but I went with the Chrome Foose Speedsters instead. I have 19x8.5 in the front and 19x9.5 in the rear. Their similar in style but the spokes on the Speedsters are a little bit thicker. Nice choice going with the 19s, their not too small or too big.

They aren't bad, but I would like the spokes to be a bit thicker like the last post said. Take a look at those Foose rims. I do like the choice of 19s with that style rim.

I think they look pretty good. Be sure to post pics when you get the new ones on.

Thanks for the responses guys. Yea I thought about the Foose wheels but there's an SLK55 with those in my area that I see driving around a lot. It might be kind of awkward to have the same rims.

Any other suggestions/opinions before I put the order tomorrow?

Edit:
BTW I am also getting the StopTech Cross Drilled Rotors, and painting my calipers red. I know the spokes on the wheels are thin but maybe they will look good with my brake setup??
