I'm leaning towards the chrome, it could be months or longer before I can get my hands on them. Curious to see what you guys think would look best. Probably go staggered 17x8 and 17x9. Car is mainly stock and I plan on keeping it that way. The color is Reef Blue.

I don’t know who edited it, but 17” SSP wheels on a B/W coupe would be right.
Nice car!

Yeah, definitely wasn't me. And I can't delete it...must be someone with higher power.

I agree and thank you.

Previous owner chromed the stock ponies on my convertible. Makes them a little easier to clean, but I don't really like the look. I'm probably going to swap them out for 17" silver ones sometime this year...

That reef blue is gorgeous. I know where there is a reef blue 5 speed hatch with less than 5k miles on it. I have been trying to buy it for a long time. I love that color.

Thank you! It's really the first time I've seen the color in person. Crazy there is still super low mileage fox mustangs out there. I can't imagine not driving them.

Me too. That's what I'm worried about. They won't ever see bad weather and car stays in climate controlled shop.

The problem with chrome is brake dust and dog pee will kill them if left on, keep them clean and shiny they last a lifetime, given they were done right.
I don't care for chrome on fox mustangs,

For some reason I always liked the chrome ponies, especially on certain colors.

I started preferring silver over chrome about eight years or so ago. That preference has only intensified over time.
