Chrome looks good, or Hypercoat ("smoked chrome") would look SICK on that car IMO...


Is that a factory color? Its really nice.

Yeah black FR500s would look bad with that color. Where did you get those headlights and fog lights cause I'm looking for some new ones and I didn't think clear would look good but it does on yours?

I don't like the painted Black look on any wheel. They always make the car look cheap, or as though the owner is trying to hard to make it look like a race car. A set Anthracite or even transperant Chrome Black wheels on the other hand would look nice. I'd even go for a set of polished aluminum wheels otherwise. Not quite as "bling" as the Chrome ones, but still classy just the same.....

Any NON-Replica Black Rim w/ polished lip would be awesome with that color car.

The only reason I say non-replica is because too many stangs including mine have replica wheels on them. You could be a trend setter if you pick a good one...

to find out what number just look at your vin number and b/c its a rare color there should be a bunch of zeroes then a number at the end and there ya go. You can also take the whole number and plug it into a vin decoder online to learn some more about your car.

I just really am looking for rims just a change and something that is going to look big. I really like going fast and whatnot but i love the style and would sacrifice some to get a big wheel like an 18 or so for the looks. Im getting a new hood in early march and also getting an 94-98 cobra front bumper cover instead of gt and get some other things repainted. Any other suggestions for the outside would be great.

As for the foglights, i just picked up rectangle lights down at my local parts store and just made a bracket. And the headlights and corners are smoked.

Did you change the fog lights? They look bad with the square edge against the round side of the fog light hole.

Love the color and it looks clean otherwise.
