I don't think I'll ever understand the "bigger is better" mentality some people have with rims. This is a performance car, not a SUV (and even on a SUV when I see flashy rims I think, "What's the point? Still looks like they're going to soccer practice and these flashy rims GUARANTEE the car will never go off-road")...

Both look great on your car. If I have to choose one, it will be the black rims, but then again, I'm kinda partial to black rims anyway.

I thought the same thing a couple of years ago.I thought 15" were the largest I would go with.But since then I've run 20' and now 18" wheels.The twenties add performance when it came to handling on twisties.The new sidewall technology had addded a new twist on performance and function.

Yah, I think on a Mustang 20" is really the largest size that looks good and still performs well. Anything larger than that and I just want to say, "Why???"

looks great...

it looks great!

my opinion is that the wheels are way too big for nice driving....

i tried 20s and felt that was also too large.

i like 19s a lot.


thanks all...
