2010-2014 Mustang Information on The S197 {GenII}

Am I the only one who thinks the Bright Machined Aluminum wheels look SWEET?

I ordered them but I gotta see what they look like when they get here. I've looked at several sets of custom wheels that will look really cool on my Kona Blue. I have also talked to a body man about painting the inserts (the black part) Kona Blue to match the car. I think that would look cool too. Might have to figure out how to do that on a computer first to see what it looks like. If I do change to custom wheels I will be selling the Ford wheels for about $500 if anyone is interested.

I think the centers painted Kona would look good. A very subtle mod. As I've said before, these wheels look a lot better in person, but they need to be 1" wider (with that inch going straight to the outer lip, bringing them more flush with the fenders) to be perfect. Google Halibrand wheels to see where Ford got their inspiration from.

The 2010 we took out for a drive before ordering up the 2011 had these wheels...there is just too much going on for me. Don't like them at all.

To me the stock 18's look the most fitting on the new Mustangs. If only Ford put a pony center cap in them...

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 actually loved the TRX wheels and would like to see someone make that style today. I sure don't like the 19" machined wheels, though.

I agree the 18"s look tiny, but I think it might be the spoke design and tire size making it look small. 18"s in reality are bloody huge.
