I'm looking to pick up some new tires and rims for my '04 mustang... but im not exactly sure what to get. My mustang is black, and i have chrome rims now, and they go very well with the black, but i also saw some pics of black mustangs with black rims which looked pretty cool also.

I'm also not sure what size rims/tires to get also... i would like some larger/wider tires and rims... I'm currently running 225/55R16... I dont wana go with 20" rims though... i was thinking possibly 18's...

Any thoughts and advice would be helpful...

17s or 18s are good on new edges...18s will probably "look" a lil better, but 17s will be lighter, and the rubber will be a little bit cheaper.  on black cars, im feeling the chrome wheels...i really used to like the blacked out look, but ive seen it a lil too much lately...i think kind of a blacked out look, with black tails, and then chrome 18 inch saleen wheels would look pretty nice.

good luck.

Saleen wheels look really nice on black Mustangs.  I've gotten to where I don't like the look of black rims anymore, it's hard to tell what design they are if you glance at them.
