Hey guys

I have a 2011 GT.

Color is Red Candy Metalic with Brembo Brake package.

I want to replace my wheels and ive been looking for a few days now for what i want.

I wanted to get some feed back on what color/type of wheel i should go with.

So far my favs are the RTR Charcoal wheels i found on american muscle

Let me know what you think!

Those are sweet wheels! If you like 'em go with it. I don't care much for the spoke look but its personal choice. I like wheels like these...

not too bad, to each is own on the style of wheels it's your car Myself when the tires go bad on the Perallis that came with the brembo break set...Imma pop some 20s that are chrome, but like I said we all have are own style. Where some are worried about performance, I don't. I probably won't ever give my 12 a engine mod because it's fast enough for a DD. But I think some nice chrome would compliment my black chrome window tint

My neighbor has wheels just like those on his mustang and it is the same color as that red one above. His is a "gt/cs" I think. I don't really know what that means, but it looks really nice. He has put a lot of work into it like exhaust and supercharger and a ton of other stuff I don't know about. He told me it has 630 HP or something. All I know is it's loud when he drives by.

As previously mentioned to each his own. You gotta pay for 'em and live with 'em. Personally I'm not a fan of any OEM or OEM replica wheel on my Stang. The RTRs are a good direction but a lot of people already have 'em. I considered the RTRs but at the time they had only gray wheels which I felt wouldn't contrast enough against my tungsten gray '06. If I had got them i woulda had them powder coated matte black. I ended up going with the Steeda Spyders 20x9.5 front ans 20x11 rear. If you go this route get ready to spend $$$ on tires. I just dropped almost $1200 on Nitto NT05s. They're wide as hell but they tuck. I had to wait a bit to get the money together but it will be worth it. I also know nobody in my area has these so my car will stand out. Ya just gotta figure out what your goal is. Also think about handling or do you wanna take it to the drag strip a lot?

That would be nice as long as they are chrome. I wonder how much it would cost to put them on my car and also what is the biggest wheel I could fit. I would like to do 24s, but my friend said 22s was the biggest I could get.

My friend said 26s won't fit on our cars.

Do you drive a cabriolet or a coupe? I can't tell from your small picture. I sure hope it's a cabriolet because you seem to have a taste for the "finer things".

I like the dark colored rims, but I honestly think an American muscle car should have some chrome! I went with Boss 304 rims...
