Wheel change for better or worse?

Hey guys and gals I recently traded my Foose stealth legends to a buddy for his just off the lot SVT PP wheels and tires. Opinions wanted, can't hurt my feelings, better or worse?

The SVTs are THE wheels I'd get if I could. SO nice! The Foose wheels were tight but I think the forged SVT wheels are tough to beat.

I think it looked good with the all black wheels, but it looks better with the SVT wheels.

WOW! You lucky SOB! You do know you just traded your old wheels for a $8,000 setup right? You went from 30+lb heavy *** cast wheels to strong forged 24lb wheels. Your buddy got hosed, lol. Let me know if you wanna trade, I got some v6 wheels laying around.

I am in the minority here, but I liked it better with the original wheels. You could always send them to me! (Still a great looking car though, no disrespect intended)

Sweet man! IMO the foose wheels were just not mustang type wheels. Those SVT wheels are sick. Similar to the RTRs and stuff. I was gonna ask the weight but I think someone said it already. Your buddy is putting your old wheels on a Shelby?!

I like the black, but I LOVE the SVT wheels. Looks like a GT500, shows of the brakes, very nice! You got the better of this trade. I hope you can remain friends!
