Here is my Wife's Mustang GT. We just installed the new wheels today, they are Axis GT-R in 20x9.5 front, 20x10.5 rear. 255 Nittos up front, 285 Nittos on the rear. Silver spokes with machined lips.

Normally I love your cars Tony. You have great taste, but I'm not feeling those
wheels for some reason. Maybe the pics don't do them justice or
something? :confused: They remind me of the old school Iroc wheels.
Sorry...just posting my opinion. :(

I do like the fact that you went with 20's. The new 'stangs have big fender
wells and suck up a 20" wheel like nothing. They look right at home in there...and
it'll look even better when lowered.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the wheels either. I can't put my finger on what I don't like about them.. Maybe its the enclosed centers, as I like exposed lugs. Or maybe the spoke profile is too "stock" looking and I expected you to go really flashy :lol:

I like the exposed lugs too...and I think the "spokes" are too thick and
boxy (<---new word :lol: ) or something.

That silver stang is a nice looking car. I'm impressed.

The wheels are so so. Not too bad, it will look nice once it's lowered.

The new body can do 20s.

They sure look sharp on that car!

I'm thinking lower job will help those rims fit the car better.

Those are simular to the GTR concept cars wheels.

i dont know about the RX7 comment, but maybe because those dont look like anything aftermarket, they look more like an upgrade stock rim.. i like them tho, nice look for a new stang..

the rims look great. The new style looks great with 20's tucked in the fenders. Now time to upgrade those little brakes!

Hope that body style rides and drives better with 20s than earlier years. Friend of mine had a 97 with 20s, rode and drove like crap. I had 18s at the time - world of difference.
