the mustang looks minimalist, which is very different, i dont mind it at all.
the challenger though, i don't dig having two similar colors together, unless they are exactly the same color.

i say go for it!! The cross pollination doesn't bother me as I'm in an interracial marriage so I enjoy cross pollination....

It doesn't look too bad but the car is far to low.

It's hard to tell what it would actually look like since that car is dragging its transmission through the tarmac.

Think you said it all in your thread title.

I actually like the wheel but not in a 20.

Car is beautiful the wheels suck big time & totally ruin the car!

Love them on the chargers but perhaps if it was a more realistic size it may look like that challenger.

I agree, its possible that those are 22's, as sizes are either 20 or 22, and being that low really makes it look either photoshopped or like a hot wheels.

Oddly enough, one of the most popular wheels for the Dodge owners to use for serious drag racing are ...

17" MUSTANG wheels with drag-radials!

'Bout time someone stuck a Dodge wheel on a Mustang!

God's love for the tire! I can not stand the "stretching" tire lag trends.

Same here, I think it looks killer, if they could just be tucked in under the fender wells more.

Definitely. Roll the fenders a bit more and it would look pretty sweet. And I typically hate widebody kits, but with those wheels I think one would look halfway decent.

The rims themselves don't look too bad, the problem is the offset on the rims is completely wrong for a Mustang. They stick out too far and it looks like there would be some issues with them rubbing. There are plenty of aftermarket rim makers out there, if you like them I would suggest looking for a similar patterned wheel with an appropriate offset for your car.

The 20's will fit fine. Just don't lower the car like that or it will look retarded.

They stick out a mile past the fender.
