Recommendations for my new mustang 5.0

Hey guys so I recently just picked up my new race red 5.0 here are all the mods so far done to the car:

Boss 302 intake manifold
90mm ford Motorsport throttle body
Airaid intake tube
K&n filter
BBK short headers
Pypes cat delete
Pypes x pipe
Short throw shifter
And gt500 mufflers

I needed opinions on some wheels for the car because the stocks are ugly. I've been looking at mmd's 551c staggered wheels or niche Verona staggered

Plz comment your opinions on both or suggestion on any other nice ones you've liked (1,000$ budget)
also leave any other mods you've done that you like (:

A lot of money spent on parts that netted zero to minimal gains. Especialy that throttle body.

The mmd's would look nice. What finish are you leaning towards, I think the charcoal would look good.

Considering the race red I was leaning towards the black and going staggered 20's
But charcoal would look nice as well just hard to imagine it without seeing them on first

I think the black would look good and throw a 295's out back.

Between the two I would say the MMDs in black. Have you thought about the RTR's or the AMR equivalent? Would look great in black with race red.

Friend of mine has the AMRs in the gloss black on his race red and they look really nice. I've got the RTR's in charcoal on my Grabber Blue and love them.

I've thought about it but not too sure how it would look. I've kinda grown on the 5 spoke look of the mmd's

Must be tuned if it's putting down those numbers. Nice!
