They look pretty similar, obviously less chromey, but why spend a whole lotta dough on new wheels after spending (I assume) a whole lotta dough already?

A little similar I'm guessing but they're silver. I'm like that with my 'Stang I'll probably change shoes a few more times before all said and done. I'll sell the current wheel/tires which are 20's and goto a 19" wheel. The 20's were $350.00 each the 19's in the pic are $185.00 each which isn't to bad on price I'm guessing...IMO.

Lynell, found them at www.victoriatire.com have to do wheels by vehicle and then select 19" wheels. Think the are on page 1 or 2.

It is very close, but I like the 2nd ones better. Can't go wrong either way IMO.

i see in your profile that at one point you had 265/45-18 tires on your car... where did you find that size? i've checked tirerack and discounttire and neither of them show a single tire in that size

thanks

I like the 2nd wheel as well. More rubber, less chrome I also think 18/19 are the perfect size for this car.

2nd not only looks better, but the 19's will look better than the 20's either way.
