Dont think the GT Prem wheels are all that bad so I'll just stick with them for winter use. That way I'm not paying additional financing $ on something from Ford's slim choices. I'm drooling all on the black Saleens for summer rims.

Those pictures of the gt prem wheels aren't as good as the others. I would like to see them in person. I never thought the stock rims on the 11s and 12s looked that bad.

Of course folks will like what they like, that's cool. I'm sure lots of new 2013 buyers will like the new wheel designs. I'm happy that Ford keeps revising and refreshing the Mustang. IMHO, I do not like the 2013 wheels. I am partial to the classic-modern 'Bullitt' style 5-spoke design. Here's some pics of the ones I like (the first one is my own 2011 GT, 19" nickel wheel):

Soon I will be enjoying the style wheel below and you all will be scoffing at the fact that I am transferring my genuine Ford accessory spinner caps to this style wheel:
Which look like they are patterned after the Shelby GR-1...

I personally like every old wheel better than their new counterparts. The new standard 18" isn't awful, but the previous one looks much better, as the spokes on the new one are too wide. The new 19" machined and painted wheels on the blue car are just hideous, the worst of the bunch, while the old version was pretty nice. The new California Special wheel looks pretty good, but gloss black isn't my cup of tea and I liked the old version better. The best new wheel is the 19" luster nickel, just as its predecessor was was the best, to my eyes, but the new version lacks the elegance of the old version. The Brembo wheels look good, but my issue with them is that they make the rear brakes look really small. I also prefer the original optional 18" wheel to the 2012+ version. As with the entire exterior, I feel the 2013 wheels are a step in the wrong direction.
