What do you guys prefer? And why?

EDIT: I tried to make the votes anonymous after I created the thread, but it seems I can't. It shouldn't be a big deal, though.

 

Cool i was the first to vote. I like the 19s cause they look porportional to the new Mustang. If the car was smaller then id like 17s.

 

18s. I'm more concerned with performance over looks, and it's easier and cheaper for me to get R-comp's for the track.

 

This article makes for a good read on wheel sizing and the performance within each size.

Voted 18's, my 2005 has 18's and my 2011 is coming with 18's.

Nice tire:wheel ratio on a lowered car.

Considering 19" wheels, but undecided on a P255/40R19 tire...

 

19s for the style.....

 

Overall performance is going to be about the same, and replacement 18" tires will be cheaper than 19" tires. But mostly, I chose the wheels I chose based on looks. And I find that some wheels are the perfect match for some colors, while other wheels look best for other colors. For the Kona Blue I liked the look of the 18" polished aluminum ones best.

 

17s on my '68 and 18s on my '10.

 

!8"s. Looks and handles good. Lightweight, maintains a comfy ride and is cost-effective.

 

18's mainly for tire selection / price. Mainly a "fun" car, no track or autoX.

 

I think 19's cosmetically look the best on the current body style.

 

19s for cosmetic reasons

 

20s

 

What, I can't vote for 26" wires with a lift kit?!

 

20's to make sure they fit big brake kits.

 

Keep it tallying. Thanks for participation. I know it's a lot easier to just click your preference and leave, but it would be appreciated if you explained why you chose the size you did. 20's for aesthetic appeal? 18's for performance? 19's for compromise? etc.

 

I chose 19's because the CS package wheels are the only OE rims i like beside the GT500's.

 

I chose 18" for a variety of reasons, including tire cost, wheel/tire weight, appearance, and overall performance.

 

I like the appearance of the 19's on the new body.

 

I haven't voted because I cannot make one choice.

For appearance and for the street, I would choose 20's. I've never liked wheels with really tall tires, and a 27" tire on an 18" rim(or smaller) is just ugly in my opinion. Not to mention the wheel arches are so large that the car just looks too big for 18's or smaller.

For the dragstrip, I would want the smallest possible wheel that fit over the brakes. One reason I'm considering *not* getting the brembos.

For autocrossing, a set of wide 18's is probably the best compromise between wheel weight, width, and tire selection.
