I am going to disagree with everyone in this post. IMO your car looked better with the foose wheels I wouldnt look twice if I seen your car drive by now and to be honest, your car was one of my favorites on here. (Your car was the inspiration for my cs fascia, boss splitter, and spoiler) I am pretty sure the more older aged mustang owners are going to prefer the svt wheels over the all black foose wheels.

Young and SVTPPs all the way! Lol
Although I would prefer them a touch or 2 darker...

They just look more natural and flow better with the car.
I haven't seen many good pics o the fooses but they don't look like a mustang wheel.

Im also in the minority. The foose looked better, and its not because i have the fooses on my car.

The way that reads is that the SVT wheels are $8K. He went from the Foose Wheels to the SVT ones.

I don't know if they are 8k but the tires alone are almost what I paid for the Foose wheels.

Yeah, they are super expensive, maybe not exactly $8000, but I've seen them for sale on forums for almost $4000. So new from the factory wheels and tires I'd say over 5k.

The GY F1s are about $1500+ alone. And I know the Msrp on those wheels have to be close to $1000 each. Of course that's Msrp tho. You can find them slightly used for about 2500-3000

As far as looks, I am with the Foose crowd. On your particular paint/body scheme, the blacked out look flowed much better. The Foose's are a nice sort of homage to the Torque Thrust I think, and fit your car very nicely.

I think both looked awesome! But the SVT wheels stand out better than the Foose wheels. Good trade for sure!

I have always liked white and gray so I think the hyper color would look good too.

looks great- I mean really GREAT.
forged vs cast is like cadillac vs yugo. you did very very well on that trade IMO on both looks and value.
are those wheels rollstamped 'alcoa' on the inboard side? just wonder who is forging/machining them...
