Wheel Opinion for Race Red GT
Another forum member posted a link to this wheel in a thread. I looked at them and kind of like them. They are available in 19x8.5 or 19x9.5. Best part is they weight 23lbs. Not bad.
Take a look and let me know how you think they would look on my Race Red GT

The Shelby CS69s are also nice but nearly 10 pounds heavier (each)

Looking forward to your opinions.

The CS69s look better imo. The chrome and black will look good on a red car.
On the other hand...less rotating mass is also good for performance and mpg.
Another classic look would be this:
Cragar 610/616 Series S/S Super Sport
They come in many sizes from 17x7 past 20"

If you're really stuck on 19's and can afford to part with that kind of $$$, the Breyton's are the hot ticket. Similar look to the RTR's except silver for a little less $$$.

I'm not stuck on 19s. I would do 20s but it is hard to ignore ten pounds less weight at each corner.
I am open to other suggestions guys. Throw em up here. I just want to be able to fill out the wheel wells nicely without significantly harming performance.

I like the second one better. But, here's something kind of the same. I think it's patterened off of the old Magnum 500 wheels. Very old school looking.
I'm not sure if this is the right size?

I'd suggest going the other way, go with 18's, less $$$ for tires and wheels and they fill the wheelwell just the same as 19's or 20's because the tires will be the same outer diameter and give better ride and handling.

Keep the ideas coming guys, I am enjoying the suggestions.

I think that the stock 18's happen to give more of that classic look, rather than the aftermarket look. I also think different wheels match up nicer with different colors and that some look better on the coupe and others look better on a convertible.

Jimbo you might also try American Racing's website. They actually have a feature that lets you select your car (in this case Mustang) and then see what the different wheels will actually look like on it. You can even change the color to match the color of your car.
