Default Help me Decide on which wheels to buy. 2005 Mustang GT

There is a big price difference in the wheels but money is not an issue.

If you guys can post 90 post's about a speeding ticket I expect 90 posts helping me out The wheels will be 17's as well.

Rotational weight. I have a set of 20's for show. I want some thing more on the performance side. I think the look of a nice sized tire looks SICK. I want an extremely aggressive look and I think a big A$$ street slick on the rear just will make honda's pi$$ them selves...

I may get pelted for this, but I think too many people put the Shelby / GT style wheels on. They're nice (no spinner please), but I say do something original.

I looked at some nasty shelby razor rims before I found my ASA's, I wanted them so bad but I felt the little cobra in the center would go to well heh

You save a few bucks ordering from eBay vs the web site.
Good to deal with. Received one scratched and sent a replacement out right away with a return paid call tag for the old one.

They are both nice, the only thing I hate is the tw tone look of the wheels. IMO, get a single color wheel, all black, chrome or polished aluminum.
