I've been wanting to love the new 05 but havnt seen one yet that blew me away, although the GT-R gives a good idea of what is possible. I knw with better wheels and lowered suspension it would look better but i didnt know how much. I dont love these wheels but i do love how agressive they make the car look, you can really see the car at its best.

20" wheels look right at home on that car.

just a tad too big for my tastes, but they definately look better on that car than 95% of the others i've seen 20" rims on

looks really good, it looks mean. What did they do to the middle two lights? Is it blacked out from a accessory or are they removed?

Would mounting "20 wheels on this car hurt the performance of this car, 1/4 mile and/or running at top speed on the open road? Also how would such a wheel affect cornering and hauling tail on a mountain road?

Anytime you have more rotational mass which with 20'' wheels you do your going to slow a car down.

wow those look great rool:

I'd probably stick to 18s with the crappy roads we have here, less likely to hit a pothole you didn't see and bend the lip.

Reminds me of the concept car in a way.

Wheels can single-handedly change the look of a car imho. Those wheels take the stock-mustangs slim and small rims from a "I'm a skinny mustang" look to a "I'm an aggressive muscle car, wanna race .. bit*h?".
