Default Wheels, Taillight Blackouts, Color

Ok, first off, I am wondering the exact name of the color of my car for sure. It is an 01 v6 and it is a bright red color. Sometimes the red even appears very orange in the sun.

Secondly, I am ordering wheels in the next week or so (lots of graduation money) and I was wondering what you guys thought. I am pretty set on getting black wheels to go with the bright red/black theme on my car, and I am debating on either:
1. 18x9, 18x10 Black Bullitts
2. 18x9, 18x10 Black FR500
I have seen the Fr's on red cars before and they look sexy. There should be a pic of my car attached.

Also, to go along with the wheels I was planning on just buying the Sumitomo's from MT. These good tires? Should I go any bigger than what the fitting guide on MT says for tire size?

Lastly, where would be the best place to buy taillight blackouts and/or the best method of blacking them out. Is it hard to see your brakelights during the day with the taillights blacked out?

Everyone on these forums maybe. and thats only because black bullitts are sweet. But driving around day to day you don't see alot of mustangs with black bullitts. I've seen only one stang with them in my area, and we have ALOT of mustangs. I say get whichever one you prefer. They both look sweet in my opinion so it's all personal preference.

yeah, everyone always gets chrome wheels though. I am trying to add to my color scheme + I think the black looks mean.

Anyways...any opinions on the other stuff?

actually I think its starting to be the other way around. I see alot more black wheels on mustangs these days. But either way either black or chrome look good

You bought the blackouts right...not the 50% smoked tint? Also, I have the Wade headlight covers off of deflectors4less.com. Are the Wade taillight covers basically the same?

Get the summis, I have them and theyre great for the cheap price. Not the tire id used at the track for the best grip though. They also have good tread life. So unless you plan on using that car only at the track, id recommend summis.
