I like those American racing above.. go to tire rack and bring up an image of the car and swap rims on it.. I have an 11 sterling grey and I honestly love the color of the Brembo rims on it, it's almost a perfect watch with the car color.. which are a tad bit lighter than the rims above.. The stock shelby svt rims look really good on it also
I love the stockers too, but at 19x9.0 wide you are really limited on tires. I wish you could go x9.5 or x10, and fit a 275mm or 285 on there.

BUMP


I am fixing to order my wheels but would like to see more pictures!


I am leaning toward Forgestar F14 wheels right now.


Anyone else?

which color forestar? These wheels remind me alot of the AMR Wheel, which is extremely similar to the RTR wheel, which is extremely similar to the Avant Garde M310. There's some pictures here. http://forums.themustangsource.com/f726/rtr-vs-amr-wheels-526829/

Anyone here have any of these three wheels in the charcoal color ? Going black on sterling grey would look bad imo.

IMHO, I think bright aluminum looks great on SGM. There is pictures of CF10s in brushed titanium on pg 27 of the above mentioned sticky that look fantastic.

19x9 & 10 Gunmetal Gloss Forgestar CF10 wheels.....They are just a shade lighter than the Sterling Grey paint.
Im looking for a set of the 13+ GT500 Base wheels though to replace these.

And this is my car with the Avant Garde Satin Silver 20's:
(Looking back I should have kept these wheels...they were just so hard to keep clean! and the Black Stripe/Silver wheel thing drove my OCD crazy!)

I am a fan of the lighter colored wheels on the SGM. The ones Nocturnal posted above are just fantastic. I like a bit of contrast with wheels though.

Best looking setup in this thread.
Thanks guys....You don't think the Black stripe w/Silver wheels was too....."OFF" looking!?
Im trying to get back to this setup I think or something similar. Just have to find a buyer for my Forgestars.

No I don't it looks off at all. I'm the same way in that I can overthink what matches and looks right.

I'm not usually a fan of dark wheels. You spend a big chunk of change on them and I think they should stand out a bit rather than blend in with the tire and wheel well. Don't let the color of your stripe dictate the wheel you buy. If it were me, I'd buy the wheels I wanted and if I felt it clashed with the stripe, I'd lose the stripe...it's only vinyl. Everyone has an opinion and that's mine. FWIW
