^They are still for sale. I am asking around to see if any Stang guys I know might want the wheels before I jump on it. I would rather not be stuck with the wheels.

Paul its really hard to choose wheels based on photoshop IMO I did that with my 04' G when I bought my 5 Spoke Spyn wheels, they look good on the pic but on the car looked ok. 1 tip I can give you if you don't plan on at least painting your Calipers and getting a nice Rotor it won't look nice with an open spoke wheel like in pic 2,3 and 5.
Don't listen to Blain if it was up to him you'd have an 11in rim with a 225/35 series tire although in his defense I do like a decent Lip on a rim but in the end its your car your choice.

Thanks Roy. I thought about the 'open-ness' of the wheel and I agree. I will not go bigger than 18" either. I might even stick to 17's. I like the style in pic 4.
Funny what you said about Blain too. I think he has great taste, just a different Gen.
When I was that age, my dad wouldn't be caught dead in a car styled the way I liked.

Hey Paul, I have to agree with Roy on the PS thing.

The other thing that gets distorted in PS is the wheel size.
Size can have a huge impact on how a wheel looks on the car.
You can have a wheel in 19 or 20" that looks great but you take the same wheel in 17 0r 18 & it can look completely different.

Somehow I knew my car would end up in here, thanks Gord hah. The 522s are curb biters; If you or anyone who drives your car goes near a curb your day will be utterly ruined. The spokes stick out past the lip of the wheel, so unless the tires are bubbled like a full size chev.... You get the picture.

I'd go for the last wheels you posted in 18. 17's look goofy on big body cars.

I give advice case to case. Check out the questions about wheel and tires thread. I help every single person in there weather they want to stretch or run a 335/35 on a 10.

I personally just don't like the wheel styles.

Edit, and don't paint your calipers regardless of the wheel design (unless you paint them black)
