I liked the stock 21" ST wheels but mine came with the 20". I looked into buying a set but Ford wants a few small countries GDP just to buy them. So I opted for the Voxx wheels. No not as good as the stock gloss black ST wheels nor as big either. I just stayed with 20" and I am happy with the look and my wallet still have some left in it! And I still have my stock rims in the garage if I ever wanna revert back, to machined aluminum and black wheels.

These are pretty nice also. I believe they are ASANTI® - ABL-12 most likely 10.5x22 with +30ish offset.

Thanks for the suggestions! They both have some good looking wheel but nothing that I'm looking for. I put in my vehicle info at TSW and it came back saying they didn't have anything to fit it. But obviously they do because @ridered74 has some. The one rim I thought was ok at Aodhan only comes in a 19". I feel like I'm being forced into buying rims from Tire Rack! LOL!

It's not what I want but they are close. The Voxx Replica - Mustang GT50 rims look nice.

I like the superforge "The DC" rims but my God man! A Thousand dollars a rim is too rich for my blood! I'm sure they are nice though.

What about Niche? Are they a good rim? I found a rim I like. It's a 20x9" with a 35mm offset. It also comes in a 20x10" with a 40mm offset. The 10 would let me run a wider tire like a 305/45 but it's a 40mm offset. Probably too much. The 9" would let me run the 285/50's comfortably. 1729774466872.png

Niche does okay wheels. Most of their wheels are even heavier then stock stock wheels, ask that’s why I’m not a fan of them, but they do make some good looking wheels. I like the Mazzanti.

This just me, but I very much dislike wheels that show exposed bolt heads whether they be fake or real. Cleaning each of those out with a Q-Tip just isn't my idea of a good time and they always get dirty.

You're right! I didn't think about that. I like these but they are only 8.5" wide with a 35mm offset so I could only go up to a 275/50. Not sure how close to flush they would be. They weigh 34 Lbs. so that's not bad. I may need to rethink what I like for a style.
