Help me with my wheels!
Help me with my wheels!
Ok so I have the 19 inch rims that come with the gt track package. My car is sterling gray. I need opinions should i just leave them as be? Powder coat them black? Or buy them from the internet already black and sell the stock ones? Or any recommendation besides black?
All a matter of taste. I love the grey Mustangs and if I had one then I would go with the black billet wheels, or put black on the ones you have. If not just very polished chrome.
Found a few pics you could look at showing a couple of grey cars with dark wheels....
There are a lot of wheel companies that have Visualizers now where it put's up a car of your choice and you can change the wheels to see what they look like.
Good luck.

i am a bit confused about the sensors however.... the site says this warning...
Unless a TPMS triggering tool is purchased, new TPMS sensors must be initialized at the dealer. Dealership labor is not included in the cost of the sensors. The OE Ford TPMS bands around the OE wheel barrels can not be reused. The OE Ford TPMS sensor cradles can only be reused if the proper 3M double-sided tape is used to reattach it to the wheel barrel. In order for the OE cradle to be removed, the OE band must be cut. If TPMS sensors are not installed in the wheels, the TPMS warning lights will stay permanently illuminated. An audible chime may also be heard at start-up.
Re-use O.E. lug hardware.
So i cant just buy those bring it to a local wheel shop and have them mount my tires on the new rims? When i had my bmw 135i they had tire pressure gauge sensors and i went through like 5 sets of tires of the course of the years and they never mentioned anything to me about needing replacement sensors as well?
