99-04 after market wheels

Much like trying to pick out the right exhaust for my Mustang, I am having a hard time trying to pick out some new wheels. I have seen FR500's, Bullitts, 10th anniversary cobra wheels etc. What I am looking for is something not a common at every car show. I would like pictures please of outside the box of aftermarket OEM wheels. I dig the 17x8 chrome Foose Knuckle. I originally wanted 18x9 chrome bullitts but do not want to sacrifice ride and a 275 tire up front or lower the car. So preferably deep lip 17 inch wheel or 18 is fine in chrome. Please no black I just do not prefer the murdered out look. Thanks already for the help! This is what my Stang looks like if this helps so as it is does not look bad or know if its even worth changing.

P.S. my screen name here is the same as my you tube screen name. If anyone is on there as well who wants to hear my Steeda's on this one or SLP on my 1st Stang!

Don't see them around like I used too, but I loved the chrome 95 Cobra Rs on old blu.

I like the stock wheels. Especially if you are keeping the stock springs.

I agree you do not see those like you used to. That is a classic but still want a deep lip. American Muscle sells them with a deep lip option which is not bad.

Yes the way it came does not look bad. Scared to even lower it with the stock wheels due to already scarping a subframe connector while going through construction. Thanks for the feedback!

I also have had this picture I found from Cardomain from member Sallen1968. I think if I do 18's, might have to go this route. Just think this is a good solid look anyone would like.

Bullit styled wheels are liked well by the populous.

Absolutely agree. They look to be in great shape as well.

Yeah they are like the only thing that has any flaws on the Stang is the rims though. Previous owner said his wife scuffed the one which is on the drivers front for everyone to see and some pitting here and there. Previous owner even had the wrong size tires installed a 245/40/17 on the front and out back 255/40/17...OEM is 245/45/17 all around. Cannot even rotate the tires and don't get why he did that. So new wheels with new tires or just new tires is where I am at. Thanks for your feed back on keeping the stockers!
