Even though my next car is still sitting on some dealers lot somewhere unclaimed by me, I have been looking over some wheel choices to kind of get an idea of what might look nice on my next Mustang. Since I am 99.9% sure my next Mustang will be of the S197 flavor I have been looking mostly at wheels that will fit 2005-08 Mustangs.

The only wheels that really catch my eye are made by Carroll Shelby, the CS69 model with the Black inlay. I noticed they only came in 20's (20x9 or 20x10) and I am ok with that, I actually like the way they fill up the space. One thing I have noticed is most owners will opt for the 20x10's for the rear instead of having 20x9's all the way around. The 20x10 actually has a deeper dish then the 20x9 and I am not a big fan of that. I think if I did buy a set of these I would just get the 20x9 for all four corners. I found a bunch of S197 Mustangs with the wheels on them which are after the jump. The only color I did not find that I really wanted to get a look at was White.  Take a look at the Grabber Orange Mustang with CS69 wheels, it looks pretty sweet.

For the tires I think there is really only one way to go and that is with some Nitto NT 555's all around.  I had the NT 555's on my 2003 Cobra and they just really did the job for me.  Never had any issues and the ride quality just felt better than any other tires I have ever had, it could have also been the IRS but I doubt it.
