So, I completely understand the purists that are far from comfortable with this idea, but I'm considering getting Dodge Viper 20" Wheels for my '12 5.0 Kona. I'd get them in matte black, but this mustang seems well put together, with a priority on fitment. Thoughts?

Looks photoshopped to me.

Just not right looking at all.

Looks like a hot wheel and there's no way those tires don't rub

Completely non functional for a Mustang. Try any type of racing with that thing.

x2....if it's not photoshopped, then there's no way it's streetable. Driving over a pebble will tear the fender lips apart.

Aside from the fact that it just looks wrong and is unusable on real streets, the front end is all out of alignment to make the tires fit.

I don't think they will fit very well but it would look pretty good in black if they fit.

This was the first thing (almost word for word) that popped into my head.

I guess I'm the only one that likes them. they'll probably rub like hell, but they will probably look good on a '12 Kona.

do what you like, don't listen to us bastards.

the wheels don't look that much different then the older-styles GT-500 wheels though.

haha, i guess this setup is really polarizing. to keep it believable i wouldn't be considering going nearly that low, they'd fit similarly to any other 20" rim. i'm pleasantly surprised that the only comment is functionality, not about being butt hurt about Mopar on blue oval. i've seen similar discussion on other forums where no one could get past the fact that there was some cross pollination. thanks for the input!

While not my style, black could look good. But for the love of God, put on tires that FIT! I can't stand the retarded trend of "stretching" the tires...
