I've narrowed my wheel choice down to these and 1 other option.

These are the "stealth" FR500's. What do you guys think?

hmmm. i think i like them. personally, i am a fan of solid black wheels on the right car. i can def say i DO like them on the mach. trying to picture what they would look like on a yellow car...pretty good i would think.

are they painted or powdercoated? since they are black, scratches and nicks would def be more noticeable.

The wheels on the Mach look different than the other 2 but maybe just the picture? I'm not a huge fan of the top 2 but the black looks good. I wouldn't do a matte finish with your car, I would go with the more glossy look.

Well the Mach pic came straight from the site selling the wheels. I just did a little searching to come up with the other two. The wheels themselves aren't a matte or flat black finish but more of a gloss black. Maybe the top two pics are just powdercoated FR500's and not this wheel in particular. The Mach has the wheels no doubt.

Not a big fan of black rims. If given the option between 17 or 18 inch, I would definitely go 18".

For black rims though, those are pretty nice!

IMO, all black rims only look good with certain car color combinations. Your yellow 'stang would be cool with those.

I always wanted black rims for my yellow '01. You should definitely get them. They look great.

Personally, I am not a fan of all-black rims EXCEPT on yellow cars. So, good choice. Although, some Black Bullitts with deep dish on the rear would be my first choice. But I do like your pick alot.
