I voted yes, I just am not really a fan of people buying aftermarket rims at a stock size. If mine would have come in 19s I still would have got them.

Limited amount? Dude, you can put rims on your car that fit Mustangs. The possibilities are endless.

I like them! I would do mine on gold, I am not a fan of chrome, but those would look great, I also like both Foose and American Racing wheels

I like. Subtle, not gaudy like a lot of chrome wheels today.

LOL...let me elaborate...

Maybe I should have worded it the limited amount of wheels that 'I' like. I don't care for very many of the multi-spoke designs, and most that I did like don't have the correct lug spacing, width and/or offset available for my vehicle. They would either rub while turning or stick out beyond the fender well. Either that or they had been discontinued and not available. It also appears that a lot of wheels on the market are redundant with only minor differences between them. I don't care for the wheels out there that look like someone glued a silver serving plate to their hub either, which eliminated a lot of vendors. I'm not into putting a plus plus plus size rim with a super skinny tire on my car. It's fine for some if that's what they want, but its just not me. Besides, I like to drive my car a little faster than 25 mph. I know I shouldn't stereotype, but it seems like every car around here with the big rims on it drives no faster than 25 mph and almost comes to a complete stop every time they approach a bump in the road. I spent almost two months looking at several brands of wheels...American Racing, Elbrus, MB, Konig, Boss, Vision, Boyds, MHT, Foose, Menzari and on and on the list goes. Of all the wheels I looked at the five spoke design appealed to me the most, but I don't care for those ridiculous looking faux rivets on the circumference of the wheel so that eliminated quite a few of that style. Again, they're fine if that's what you like, but I don't care for them. So, the amount of wheels available that 'I' like is limited.
