I wonder if, technically, being the order of things, the wheels aren't new 'socks', and the tires new 'shoes'...
But then, being a Mustang, the hubs would be 'hoofs'...
I think that the openness of the wheels is too much, and that the brake works needs some attention. Perhaps blacking out of stuff that isn't needing to be 'shiny', and then the calipers body color, or also black. That might mitigate the spindlyness I see in this design. The further diving in from the hubs to the middle of the wheel is... interesting.
Like others, I have to say they're not my style.
But you know what? It's *your* car, not ours. Forget our silly, stick in the mud opinions. Do you like them? Then they're perfect, aren't they?
Car's lookin' good overall!

All that matters is if you like them, although I guess everyone else has to look at them and you can't see them while you're driving 
Having said that, I agree with others, not my cup of tea. Too much exposed space, not enough meat to the spokes IMHO

I'm with these guys... Just not for me. But we each have a look we are after. Go for it.

Not a fan of the rims if you want the truth. I think it's the 2 tone and the amount of space between the spokes that I don't care for. However I'll agree with the consensus that grabber blue powder coated/painted calipers (or covers) would make them look BETTER. I would also remove each wheel and paint the rotor caps black instead of the primer grey they come in. I did that with some black caliper paint on my 13' and it made them "disappear" when looking through the wheel openings.

Don't care for the wheels either, but I hate all wheels that have exposed bolt/rivet heads.
I thought the rims might look better without the bolt heads, and they do, but overall I still don't really like them/
Sorry.
