I ordered them with my Race Red GT. I think they look good. Kinda different. This is what I hope it will all look like.

That's awesome, we have very similar cars. Jeff ordered mine to. Mine is moving now so, I'm hoping to go get it in a week or two.

OK, when your order was taking forever you kept changing it. Now that your car is built, you want to change it. Do you even know what you want????

And where the heck is Silverbull anyway?

(Sorry, when I think of indecision I think of him...)

I love them but think of them as the signature wheel of the 2010...they looked so damned good with Sunset Gold.

Badass looking car, superb photo taking/editing.

I hope they look even close to that good on your car, toolman!!

I don't see how some folks don't like these wheels.. I've yet to see it look bad on ANY color combo on the 11's..

^Sooo cruel that they only offered that color for one year. The idea of a "gold" car isn't an appealing one but when you see that color on a Mustang, weak knees and a cold sweat ensues.

And yes...the machined wheels look especially fantastic with that paint.

Does anyone know if there's a way to get ford OEM rims such as the machined or California Special rims installed by the dealer for a reasonable price? I'm looking at the aftermarket stuff and it seems like a pain. Plus I have to buy TPMS and TPMS sync stuff.

I think they are the ugliest wheel Ford has come up with for the Mustang since the TRX wheels.

If you want an optional 19" wheel to get the strut tower brace then the 19" premium painted luster nickel wheels are SO MUCH BETTER LOOKING.

I think they are on the ugly side and will take a lot of work to keep clean.

I think a silver wheel will always look better than a darker one. One of the features that helps a car look like it means business are low profile tires. A silver wheel really exemplifies the low profile tire. I think black wheels are truly heinous as this visual is completely lost. I hate to say it but I am still not crazy about the anthracite colored wheels my 2011 GT will have that the Brembo package comes with. Now the 19" wheels on a 2010 track pack, perfection.

Different strokes for different folks...
