Questions about SVE Drift wheels?

Thinking about putting the SVE Drift wheels on my 2014 track pack car, with 275/40/19 tires.
What does everyone think about these wheels?
And what color do you think would look best on my SGM mustang!
I will be running steeda sport springs with this tire wheel combo.
Thanks in advance for your input!

That's exactly what I run for track days. I think it's a good choice. Next time I may be tempted to go with 285/35-19, but for now I'm happy 275/40. They help extend the gears a little. I like the wheels a lot. They've held up great last season, and they are 5lbs per corner lighter than Brembo brake wheels. I got mine is Dark stainless. Here is a few pics:

I still wanna go 18x10 with a 285/35 18 squared with the drifts. Car looks great.

I'm also eyeing up Dark Stainless Drifts. Only thing stopping me is that I might want to do 20's instead of 19's. But the price is awesome, they look terrific, and they're relatively light.

Im running Steeda sports/ Koni yellows/ Sve Drifts, with 275/45/19 Hankook on all four corners with no issues at all, going to do 285/40 next. The Drift wheels also fit perfectly with my 2013 GT500 6 piston Brembos!

I just caved and ordered the DS Drifts. I like that I can save some coin by throwing my stock tires on for now and dealing with that later. And they look hot on black. They are on backorder right now, but my car's holed up in the garage for at least another 4-6 weeks.

Good choice if you're planning on using them for track days. After 2 weeks my dark stainless looks like mate black thanks to brake dust. Black should work better with the brake dust.

Now I really wish I did Sports instead of the Steeda Boss 302 springs. That is the perfect stance! You're on 275/40s too right?

Wow, that looks a lot lower than I would imagine! These are sports, not ultra lights, right?
