This is my 4th Mustang and embarrassingly high numberth car and I have never considered replacing wheels before. In fact I have often thought it a rather strange idea, and still do in many cases (there is a fad for 80s -90s large sedans with 24"+ 5 spoke wheels and low profile tires around these parts that is downright risible. A bright green Cadillac DTS with Lamborghini doors and gold ornaments is my favorite).
But I found myself thinking the OEM wheels on the base GT are just TOO bland. That dullish silver paint is more like gray and the "spoke" pattern is like a dying flower corolla to me. So I pretended I was really concerned about rotational mass and bought some new wheels that were 23# apiece, even though it was looks that prompted the change. I did not buy just the rims of the wheels that seem to be popular purchases lately. Taste is subjective and chrome is a polarizing choice so I'm sure it won't be a universal opinion but I think these suit the car much more and present some needed aesthetic impact to the lower stratum of the car's profile.
Yes I know you all know what OEM wheels look like - just included for comparison.
EDIT - has anybody ever had any luck selling OEM wheels without tires and if so how did you go about it?
