I never understand the idea of going larger than 18 or Max- 19 inch rims. Anyone keeping the stock 18 inch size and getting custom rims? If so can you post pics? I'm getting the 18 inch foundry rims and idont want to have to pay more for larger tires so should I change I'm keeping the same size.. Of course first I'm getting winter tires for next year ( mine won't be here until late March/April )

Regarding the 18" wheels.

I'll be ordering the Ecoboost Premium with the PP. I love everything about the Performance Package, except the 19" wheels. I plan to put the 18" wheels that come with the Premium on the car as soon as I can find a set from possibly swapping with another owner, or buying a set. My priority is ride comfort over performance and personally, I like the look of the 18" wheels over the 19s.

Yes! I love my 18s. Anything bigger than that is too big plus heavier. Do we really want heavier wheels on an already heavy car? I will get aftermarket 18x9 of course I want it to be lighter than my premium magnetic wheels

if your going to use the 18" setup and want something light and good I would recommend something like the Forgstar CF5 or even the TSW wheels is a good choice.

I actually want the black wheels from the EB PP, and have the 18" Machined Magnetic on mine. If you get your car, and are still interested on a trade, and maybe some cash, let me know.

If you ain't riding on 30 inch wheels, you ain't riding a Mustang:

18"s don't just look right....tad too small.

19" are the perfect size for this car.

I was originally going to downsize to 18s but this is a street car, and the fender arches are just enormous. So 19s it is.

I would love to stick with 18" but they would have to look the same as the GT PP wheels.
For some reason those wheels just look perfect to me.
Anybody seen the same style in 18"?

What is your budget and plans for the car?

The HRE FF15's are incredibly nice! Forgestar CF5's aren't a bad option either.

With the Ecoboost 14's PP brakes you can run any Forgestar that are available in 18's as well!

I am. Because the budget said to! What I really want is a set of the 19" 50th appearance package wheels. Just no extra cash to spend that much money on something that is working fine.
