I have 10.5" Deep Dish on the back of my car, and I love them.

If I were buying today, I might consider either black or black chrome, although the painted wheels are always cheaper than the polished or chome versions.

Mustang Parts & Performance - American Muscle usually has good deals on the Mustang wheels, and they carry black wheels.

Scope out the prices. Chrome costs more, and therefore it hurts more when they start to get beat up and collect curb rash.

Looks and the way the car styles with this wheel or that is a personal choice. Go through the profiles and galleries of cars similar to yours and see which wheels you prefer.

If I was buying today, I'd go for black chrome, but that's me (and I can afford the more expensive wheels). My polished wheels are still beautiful and are nicer looking than chrome - but require a LOT more maintenance to keep them nice.

The Tire Rack - Your performance experts for tires and wheels has a visualizing routine where you can try on lots of different wheels on a facsimile of your car. Give it a whirl!

I'm partial to bullitts. Mine are black but chrome with red goes so well together!

I picked mine up from American Muscle... Quality rims and the price really can't be beat.
