You oughta check at least a few days to a week back, cuz there were like 2 or 3 threads on this. Also check out Stangnet.com or S197Mustang.com and even Mustangworld.com, cuz these pics might have originated there.

I prefer funtion over form. I don't want to have to worry about getting my tires eaten up, or my sheetmetal bent for the sake of looks.
I drive my cars, and I want room to able to corner hard and not think about the consequences.
I've never understood the fascination with oversize rims with tires with a sidewall height of about an inch.

I like the looks of those rims. Those are the 20" puppies. I think I would stick with 18". I like a little more sidewall than 1" on my tires. Not sure if I would go that wide on the back, but if they don't rub anything especially when going over train tracks (lots of those in my area) then I would definately want them. 285's for me, possibly 295's. Only thing I don't get is if you go to that manufacturers website you can't even see those rims. Need specs before I decide.

No there aren't any other larger pics floating around. Also, no I am not kissing up to the moderator. I was sacastically implying they are awesome wheels. No...seriously they are. BTW...these pics are photochopped....the first pic looks legit, but did you notice the foglights and the pony are missing in the 2nd???

Nothing can enhance a car's looks like a great set of wheels. Conversely, nothing can completely destroy a car's looks like a hideous set of wheels.
Personally, I like upgrades so long as they aren't purely cosmetic. If they add to the car's performance and make it look better at the same time, great.
On the other hand, if they weigh 40 lbs. each, look pimped, are the wrong offset, or are staggered incorrectly and destroy handling, well...no thanks. Allow me to illustrate:
