since i grew up around mustangs and had more than a few of them, i have ALWAYS been a fan of 5 spoke rims. For some reason i like these. 18" and i added a small drop to the car pictured.

IMO, the spokes are too skinny to look good for a wheel with 5 spokes only..

not a fan. they make your rotors look teeny tiny.

keep looking around tho, you're bound to find a 5spoke design that you like.

I agree about the rotors, with the small 5AT rotors up front I wouldn't want a wheel that "shows them" off so much.

Upgrade your rotors with some big ass discs and the wheels would fly much better.

i agree also skinny spokes on a something like a TL with alot of body just looks funny as hell to me. Im a HUGE fan of 5-6 wheels but the spokes have got to be wider
