Based on your other thread I am going to assume these are 15's if that's the case then in all honesty I think a set of stock wheels would look better. I know your on a tight budget but check these out http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/17-Bl...Q5fAccessories Brand new wheels and tires in a similarish LOL style for just over $830 shipped with mounting and balancing. And if you do decide to keep your stock tires and just get rims don't forget to factor in the price to have the tires swapped over to the new rims. I'm guessing that will cost pretty close to $100 in addition to the price of the rims alone.

The wheels you have right now are those ugly aluminum 15" ones aren't they? That's what I was forced to use for almost two years. You won't be happy unless you get 17" or bigger... and try sticking to factory style wheels. In most cases the 'custom' wheels just don't look good, however there are exception.
Cut grass this summer... that will get you enough cash for staggered bullitts. That's how I got mine.

The 10th anniversary Cobra rims are 1k, not my favorite but i have seen a black set on a black car that looked good
These are the ones I got... would look sweet on a black car! Granted they were on sale when I got them so i paid just under 1k

I am not overly impressed with the sumi's on there... they get good dry traction but when the roads are wet they get maybe as good as the 275 Riken raptors i had on before with my old rims

My thing with wheels, is they have to be staggered. I love mustangs with wide rear tires. Theres a GT in my neighborhood with 245's... and even tho it could blow my doors off, mine looks a bit meaner with the staggered setup. To me anyway.

I don't like them all black unless it's a satin/semigloss like the new "Stealth" FR's from cruizin concepts or black chrome (which flake easily from what I've heard)
#24
Because it always makes the tires look dried out, and the wheels look glossier than the tires.
I've yet to decide on what wheels the Termi is getting. Trying to decide between satin black 18" FR500s, 18" 03-04 Cobras, or 18" Enkei RPF1s. I'll probably end up with the RPF1s since they're super lightweight, and the FR500s as a daily wheel.
#25
I always have tire wet on so the gloss doesnt make my tires look that faded, besides i like the way the glossy black glimmers when you are in motion. I never really to used to the all black rims either... just not my style. I like how it hits an intermediate between stealthy and showy
I have gotten a ton of compliments on my new staggered set up, although I hate when i have to admit my car really isn't all that fast when I get asked what it can do.

advice
I'm looking for advice on what to do with my 2010 Mustang, other than garage it for the winter, for driving in the New England snow. Way back, we used to use snow tires on the rear for rear wheel drive cars...now the suggestion is to get 4 snows....I have all weather now, snow and mud....so, do I need snows? Most of my driving is highway.
