OEM wheels always get my vote. A lot of them aftermarket wheels get cracks in them easier then we think

Wheel choice will always be personal preference. If you like them, go for it, but you are here asking for opinions. Though I have had several sets with a matte black finish, I tend to avoid them these days as they always tend to look dirty. In the same regard, they hide brake dust quite well, if you like that idea. I prefer gloss/machined wheels and between the two you are selecting between, much prefer the OEM ford wheels you posted. That said, they likely have a higher offset and wont "poke" as many/most aftermarket wheels do. Depending on tire size, you may find issue with upper ball joint clearance.

I would go OEM but have you looked at the other wheel manufacturers I listed in your other thread? KMC, Method, Raceline, etc?

Hey, yes I have. Basically down to these two wheels and have bought the OEM’s already. Very gloss. The other wheel brands have a couple nice wheels each but they are always the very expensive ones. I was leaning towards the Satin Contra because they are on sale for half the price right now.

Being down to these two wheels I was curious what the community thought.

Thanks for the response. I may see if a 1 inch spacer works and will give me the +20 ish offset I prefer.

Default OEM - way to go

I am 59.5 years old - when I was young had Cragars on my Cutlass! Now I would stick with higher level OEM Options.

But just opinion, good luck in your choice!
