OK so its time for me to purchase some new tires for the stang.
I've decided now is the time also to get some rims also since I could get a good deal if i buy them all at the same time.

So first the rims, there are soo many choices out there I find it hard to narrow it down. I am looking for all or mostly black rims, that will be easy to clean and will hold up well. I don't do any winter driving but durability is a big thing for me.

OR

Now I'm not set on either of these but it is the style I am looking for. I welcome any suggestions though that follow the same styling.

Second question is should I go 18 or 20, the tire guy tells me there will be very minimal ride and performance loss with the 20s but I'm not sure about that so any feedback from you guys running 20s is appreciated.

Thanks

6 spokes are for trucks IMO. The first ones are nice. Are you set on 5 spokes?

Wheel size is preference, i like how 20s fill these big wheel wells and they look really good if your lowered. But some people like tire sidewall and rock 18s. 20 inch tires are more expensive, there are many factors to consider but in the end its what YOU want.

have to agree with bigpappy33 on the 6 spokes, not a fan. Maybe if it was a 5 spoke. I personally love the looks and handling characteristics of my 20's. I'll have to look and see about some rims that style though, nothing comes to mind.

I'm not set on 5 spoke, but I would like something easy to clean, so nothing with lots of grooves and gaps that I would have to spend time cleaning with a toothbrush

The 5 spokes are sexy
