New wheels 2013 gt/cs

Well the factory wheels did grow on me a bit after I received the car but I just can't get over the width of the wheel and the poor offset. After searching for what seemed like weeks I had decided to go with the drift/rtr/eurotek,amr style wheel. Something was holding me back though and I finally decided i wanted to try something I hadn't seen on a mustang as of yet. i settled on Mrr GT8's staggered 8.5/9.5-19.
I just had them installed today and I only had my phone to shoot pics with and I've discovered how tricky an all black wheel is to photograph. here are a few for now until I can get my better camera on them.

A few more. Sizes on the tires are 245/45/19 on front +35 offset, 275/40/19 on rears +38 offset. they are just inside the wheelwells on the rear although from some angles it appears they aren't. Name:  f631e5f5.jpg

They look great on your CS. Are you a State Trooper or are you taunting them

Looks great! White with black, outstanding. And, like Roger, I can't help but laugh at your Indiana State Police photo!

Maybe a little taunting... I was out for a drive and the need hit me to snap a few shots.

Another white car with black rims,...almost as overdone as black on black. I always picture hub caps when I see black rims. Don't anyone get but hurt its just an opinion. Gotta make your mustang different as best you can from the rest.

^ I'm not a fan either unless it's a REALLY aggressive car. I think they'll look a lot better with a drop since the car already has a lot of black on it.

Funny I was thinking the same thing about your avatar pic... Hmm
another white car with factory stock silver wheels?? But hey don't get all butt hurt about it.

Seriously though, I felt the same way about the black wheels but then after looking i didn't see anything that I thought would give me the look I was after, especially with all of the black accents on my car. I had an 08 whiite cs vert with the polished wheels so I didn't want to do that again, then a 2012 black coupe with just the stock cs wheels. Once I got this car I knew I wanted a wheel that was dark and went between charcoal and black as well as a few wheels with black rim and polisshed spokes. Overall the all black wheel just fit the scheme better IMO.
I do appreciate your feedback though.
few more pics with an actual camera...

Thanks for all the kind words.
Wheels came from element wheels. Ask for Robert. He was very knowledgable.

Thanks so much. I agree they look much better then the factory wheels. I also noticed this morning that there is a crap load of clearance for big brakes on these wheels.
