Are you just looking for a rear pair because I'm almost postive a 15-16" won't clear the 06 brakes in the front unless you are willing to run skinnies. Since mustangs have the same 5x114.3 config, look into drag wheels for the mustang

Alot of people recommend front and rear slicks though since cars do most of their braking from the front. Lightweight forged drag wheels will cut down on rotational mass on the front end as well
