I avoided getting them because FOR SOME STUPID REASON I thought they were 2,000 dollars. They're only 866.
Too late to change my order. Oh well.

I think they look much better in person than pics, but I feel that way about the 2010+ in general. I wish they were an inch wider and I wish that inch went to the outer lip. They are obviously inspired by the Halibrand wheels, but IMO they need more lip! They were my favorite wheels when the 10s were first released and I still like them, but the Brembo Pkg wheels are my faves now!

I like the wheels too, and would definitely have gotten them over the standard (I prefer to have some galloping ponies on my wheels mostly), but the Brembos came with their own rims and I like them pretty well, still not yet seen them in person, but I did see the Bright Machined ones on a 2010 and they did look very nice. I definitely prefer them to the basic stock wheels.

I like them too, but wonder if I should go with the standards and take the $866 and apply it toward the RTR rims? I plan on running at the drags, in fact I'm coming back from them right now as they are rained out. I might just get them and get some lightweight drag wheels instead.

Not a fan of them at all. I'm more partial to the 19" nickle whatever wheels. I like simple, yet classy looking wheels.
I also like to keep my wheels clean as my silverware so I can imagine trying to keep them clean with all of those spokes. Plus it would be impossible to keep the inside of the wheel clean which I also prefer to do. 5 spokes is what I'll always go for.

Are those the same ones that were optional on the '10? When I first went shopping, every GT on the lot (and there were many) had those/similar wheels. I don't like 'em. The look 'busy' to my simple eye.

It's actually pretty simple... I can fit into every little corner with out a problem. and when they are dirty it hides a lot of it very well.

I love them on my kona 2010, I was going to go with the other 19s but I saw the machined on a lot in kona and I knew those were the wheels for me. Note if I had waited for 2011 it would have been brembo wheels all the way they are just pure hotness.

See I really don't like them in pics! 1) The offset is too 'tucked', but then all OEM Mustang wheels have been since 1964....2) They need more lip! Add an inch of lip front and rear and they'd look perfect, even in pics. I keep hoping someone in the aftermarket will come through, but nope. Also, I think the centers painted black would look good on that black car.
