Default Best rims for gloss black Mustang?

I'm looking to get rid of my current stock bullitt rims and want something that'll make the car look more aggressive - any pictures/suggestions? I kinda like the black powdercoated super snake rims but what looks better - all black, black and chrome or all chrome?

btw - the red stripes are long gone, they're matte black now - i've added side scoops, rear window louvers, about to add eleanor side window scoops and eventually plan on adding a gt500 back/front end to make an eleanor/gt500 clone

I'm not sure about what rims would be best, but I just want to say I bet your matte black stripes look great. I recently saw a black GT500 with matte black stripes and it just looked awesome. I've always wanted to get a black stang with silver stripes, but the matte black is looking like a good possibility now.

If your looking for an Eleanor clone, you may want to look at a FR500 or similar styled wheel. Chrome or black chrome or gray probably would look best. That's just my opinion though.

Thanks - bought it when I was 12 and restored it all myself, now it's the Mustang's turn!

Anyone else? Pictures of suggestions would be awesome

hyper coated GT'4s, they change shades in different light, look at the diff. between the first pic and the second one.

Those stripes look very very nice. I've been trying to get some of those but I keep changing my mind.

Typically I would say go wioth shinny chrome wheels on a gloss black car (not that I am biased or such...), but since you went with the matt black stripes (which looks rather awesome), I would look into getting either all black or better yet, black chrome wheels.....it will giv eyour car a sinsiter look to it. Just my thought. But if you want to see black car with chrome wheels, check out my phot gallery.

So black and chrome like this?

I kind of wish they made the super snake rims in a black rather then all chrome, that'd be pretty sick

I didn't want too much chrome on mine so I went with TRW Thruxton's in the Hyperblack. They have some shine but nothing like a gloss black but still stand out better than a flat black.

I don't know - it all depends on where you're taking the car... complete black out or not sure...??

I happen to love all black rims... but on some cars the bling of chrome around the lip really shows off the ride...

I am not good with these decisions... Glad it's your car!

Black car with matt black stripes and black wheels just looks... EVIL! Just make sure you don't have anyone named Vader in your neighborhood - he'll swipe it!
