I agree with everyone else. Those wheels will look great on a white Mustang. You could always get them in gunmetal.

Just a lil word of advice - If you want black centers, that is fine. But I would highly suggest getting polished lips like what is on Kevin's car. He has black centered TF Victories with a polished lip. (04sleeper) For multiple reasons really but the big one is that when rock chips hit your hoops(and they will), you can fix them yourself with some sandpaper and polish looking good as new. If your hoops/lips are all black they are going to show every blemish. You will still be able to fix the chip, but you might have black missing depending on the hit.

From a car show perspective - it depends on the show. Shows that are based on an open vote, all black wheels do better there but shows where there are actual judges they don't do as well. The "murdered out" look is falling from favor the last couple of years. Judges are looking for attention to detail and a look that some thought was put into it. Going with black centers and a polished lips will give it some contrast breaking the tires from the wheels.

Kevin (04sleeper) is a rep for True Forged wheels and can help you place your order and get the offset look you are looking for your car.

By all means, do what you want to do. Its your car and you gotta do what makes you happy. Its just my opinions. Luke will probably come in here to tell you I'm wrong and full of shit.

^ Lol. Steve, what size rear tires are on your car? Are they Nitto 555's?

ok so ive been emailing steve from true forged and im not really liking the prices hes giving me so im probly gonna pass on them. he said thoughs wheels are powder coated all black so i know they wont chip cause powder coating isnt suppose to chip. we get alot of are parts powder coated here at my dads company and i could get them done for $160! he said if i get them bare metal made it would be $2900. thats no finish at all. then he told me $3500 for them all black? where does $600 worth of powder coating come from? i could save alot of money if i just got them done here! i just did my girlfriends bmw wheels gloss black and they clear coated them too. im not saying hes ripping me off or anything buy i dont see paying $600 to get them coated when i can get them done for a 1/8 of that price! heres a pic of my girls bmw wheels how they came out.

Its just a convenience thing for them. You pay more for less work on your end.
