...mustang v6 convertible.? They'd be going on a 2002 mustang v6 convertible. It's mineral gray.

Option 1: (18 inches)

Option 2: (16 inches)

I'm a 16 year old with a 40 mile commute to college. If I wanted a V8, I would have bought a V8. But I have no need for that extra 30 horsepower that came from a v8 of my year, and the significant reduction in gas mileage. My car isn't a fucking racecar, nor do I boast that it is. I would have liked to keep my stock rims, but they are seriously damaged from the previous owner.
 
The first ones look tacky as hell IMHO. The 16 inches are more appropriate for the car.

Also FYI, The GT has about 67 more HP and 77 more lb/ft of torque. A hell of a lot more than the 30 HP you're claiming. Also the fuel mileage difference is only 2 MPG overall as you can see here

Which I think most people wouldn't consider to be hugely significant.
 
I guess option 2, cause option 1 look like tacky escalde-type crap and you don't want to have 18in wheels on a mustang cause they will look ridiculously oversized, and also because the ride will be hard enough as it is w/out thinner tires
 
16's look better. But regardless I could still own your Mustang with my Buick.
 
16 inch... and v6. really should have gotten a v8, or at least a straight six
 
I've got the exact same car except its silver, go with the 16" ones, 5 point wheels always look good on mustangs. The 18"s belong on a pos Honda....
I've got the 17" gt ones and they are 5 point and they look great. I don't know your budget, but for $500+ you can get some 2012 mustang wheels with tires off Craigslist cause they always upgrade them right when they get the car.
