Same here. I was ALWAYS against "red" cars. Untill my GT. Couldn't be happier with my choice.

Thanks all for the input!

They actually do look terrible. As a kind service I will take them off your hands no problem. LOL those are probably one of the two best wheels I have seen on a Mustang with my favorites being the razors. Those would be my second choice and I am pretty picky.

I was always a fan of the Bullit wheel until I saw the Livernois Mustang http://www.rsportscars.com/eng/cars/..._livernois.asp

I love the look of that car, especially w/the HRE wheels (then I found out how much they cost!!). Anyway, that's the look I'm going for.

The color? I was never anti-red but more pro-blue. When I realized that this was the color that was on stage at the Int. Autoshow when the car was introduced, It sold me.

I would also like to thank all the guys that have offered to help me out by taking them off my hands; what a great group!

I've never been a fan of those wheels, but up until now I've only seen pictures of them OFF of a car. Your car looks GREAT with them.

I say keep 'em

I too am more of the Retro thing on my ride but I have to agree with all the other posts, those wheels do look good. Personally, I prefer them over the link you listed. It just seems that 5 spoke do more for the mustang than the "multispoke" look.

Stick with what you got! They Rock!

DITTO - they look SWEET man!

Someitmes when going with a different style, they might not 'click' as fast as you think - just give it some more time.

I put some Millie Miglia wheels on my old black 05 when I first got it and they were cool but they didn't do it for me 100%. Ended up with bullitts and was REAL happy with the result....

But ended up looking at pics of the stang with those Millies recently and found myself going 'daaaaem those things looked pretty cool!!'

I think those wheels look okay, although they do remind me of a Dodge Charger or Magnum or something like that. More muscle than tech, if that was what you were aiming for.

I'm hoping that's what'll happen. Overall, they were the most sensible choice; they fit perfectly and didn't cost me an arm and a leg, plus they're low maintenance. I'll give it time.

Actually, I was hoping for a "technical" look, if you can call it that. And yea, I see similar styles on all kinds of cars (Acura comes to mind).

I really love the high end basket-style wheels, but I can't justify $3k+ for a set, if you know what I mean.

I'm with most here, they look more like a european OEM wheel, clean and high-tech without bling. Very nice

Nice looking wheels they compliment the car nicely. I think they are suitably modern with a muscular feel. I'd love to see them in chrome or polished myself.
