This is for an '84? Personally i dont like either for that body style, i'd go with something like this:

But then again i'm just sick of seeing Cobra style wheels, but if i had to choose from what you gave i'd go with the '03s since they're at least a little less "wheelwhored" on every stang around.

Maybe some 17in. FR 500's knockoffs if you have 5 lug conversion, or they may have them in 4 lug by now -

Similar look the the pic above which does look good too -
