I get not wanting to spend extra money for different rims. I think your car really does look just fine the way it is. I’d like to see a full side view if you have one…

If you want to make the most of that open wheel design, paint those calipers red..that would be cool.

If you are determined to change the rims, I admit to being partial to the style I have on my car. It really caught my eye on the lot, but I knew the first thing I’d do is add louvers, get a front splitter, and black out the rear panel and get a black spoiler on the back. I’m extremely happy with what I have now.

No matter what style, I like silver wheels against the black.

here’s mine…

Just do a search on ebay for mustang Performance Pack wheels. There are tons of take-offs for sale in all styles.

These are just a few. I couldn't find any listed from Shelby.

Also check your local FB market place and offer-up listings.
She's a beauty, man, goof shit brother! And those luevers make it look way more aggressive.
I set you a side view. Let me know if you need anything else.
I did order luevers, but it was cracked, so I sent them back, and I'm waiting for a new set.
I'm thinking about getting the lambo style luevers:
A question I have for you is: can you see through your side windows' blind spot with those side luevers? I can see fine through the right back window for a blind spot, but the left back window I can barely see shit, maybe I need to lean my back seat more.
Also, my blind spot alert is not working. I see the logo on my side mirrors, but it never goes off, Maybe I need to set it on in my settings? Wondering why it's not already activated?
Btw, this is what my old car looked like.

I went with gunmetal wheels because I didn’t want the car to look washed out black. I will probably swap to black emblems, but I really like to be able to see the rims so am not a fan of black wheels.

Yeah, those look really nice! Did you have to spend an extra $5k for the brermbos?

Rear 1/4 window louvers have 100% visibility. No blind spot at all! I got my set for like $69 off CJPonyparts. They are really nice, but you must throw away the garbage tape that was included and get good quality 3M tape and 3M prep adhesion promoter.

My rear louvers are the aluminum ones that cost about $550, but are worth it. I hated every other style. Also got at CJ.

Your car looks great from the side view. I’d say leave it alone and get some cool louvers for the rear and side. They are functional to keep heat out and IMO look cool as hell.

Dude , that combo is sick with those wheels. The black out panel on the back really makes the louvres pop. Stunning!

Thanks! Just for giggles, here's pics of my 06 GT I traded in for this one.

I have a look I like...basically the flavor of a 70 Boss 429.

Personally I think your silver wheels look great with the standard silver badges. That style emulates the original pony car wheels. I wouldn't change a thing!

I had the luxury of special ordering my car because I insist on the 6-speed manual which Ford is not sending to our local dealer stock. I went thru the Ford car build wizard countless times. My favorite is the 19" black painted aluminum forked wheels that come with the GT Nite Pony package. I like some of the body colors but really dislike a contrasting blacked out roof--maybe because it looks Tesla. I like a blacked out hood like you can get with the Dark Horse (DH). I only wanted a cruiser not something with a stiffer suspension suitable for track use i.e. Performance Pack (PP) or DH. It didn't take much imagination to go all black but I kept coming back to it. I'll be damned if I'm going to spend more $ to have a body shop paint the roof the body color or any other mods e.g. rims after forking out $55k for the car.

Some cats don't like the silver lug nuts but I think they & the little silver pony in the center are a good transition to the grayish silver stock brakes & silver rotors. I'm not doing any mods to my mustang. I love it the way Ford delivered it. It's not a DH. It's a "Shadow Pony"!
