I am leaving the OE wheels alone on my Mach 1. Even though I will never track the car, I wanted the wheels that come with the handling pkg.

I usually don't like "busy" designs or when "spokelets" get too far from the force vectors between rim and hub, but those are nice.

Love those wheels but cleaning them, ugh. As bad as mine.

OK, so there is no separate senior folder yet (and maybe there will never be), but this question is targeted at 50 and up owners. Do you like black wheels? It's fairly obvious they are more popular with the younger crowd.

I did not like them at all when they first became prevalent, but they have grown on me somewhat on cars in certain colors. (Mean look with magnetic.) Even so, I would only consider gloss black because you know when they're clean. Also, mesh style or any intricate spoke pattern seems pointless since it's difficult to see except up close. Black PP1 wheels come to mind. In most cases a charcoal or graphite will show the spoke pattern much better while still giving a darker look.

What do you think of them? :)
Always bet on black. I'm not young or a senior and black wheels work on a S550.

Wheels should complement the rest of the trim. Chrome or silver wheels, with chrome window surrounds, grilles, emblems, etc. If the trim is black and the wheels aren't, they scream "mismatch!" Likewise chrome lugnuts on black wheels.
Just one senior's opinion...

I initially specified the Nickel Lustre wheels back in 2016 when I ordered my Mustang and was happy to pay the $500 price.

The salesman asked if I was surrrrrrre? I ended up changing my order a week later to the black option.

I think Nickel Lustre wheels suit certain colors better than others.

This is one of the things that I like about the polished lip on the Bullitt rim. It is offset and matches the bright trim on the window and grill surrounds.

Exactly, black trim is just as bad as black wheels! :wink:

Don't squak about cleaning wheels until you've cleaned a set of these.....
I've not found a tool out there that will do the job well.
