Wheel decisions

I like the look of the rider 650's personally. I've been contemplating buying a set my self.
I like the 695's but everyone is running some version of that wheel. So I was looking at the 650's. Great looking wheel. I hope everyone isn't going with them now. 3 of us right here.
I'll throw my vote in for the 650s, unless you're a sheep and want to jump on the TT2 bandwagon with everyone else lacking imagination
The factory wheels on my '14 mustang have a design pattern that's basically the 650s except a little bigger spoke set closer to the face of the rim. Same size too.
Don't be afraid of cleaning it, it's pretty easy so that shouldn't be your tiebreaker.
That said, I vote 695s. I think they'd match the look of the gbody better, and, come with a couple bonuses - 1) easier to sell with more demand if you decide to change looks/sizes later, 2) easier to find a replacement down the road should something happen even if it's just a very similar design/different manufacturer, 3) like point 2, you could buy a second pair easir to either make matching skinnies up front should you choose to do so, or, change size on just a pair of wheels front/back in general without springing for a new set.
You're not building the car to flip or with plans to sell, but, I do think the 695s give a more classic look with broader appeal for this particular body style.

In my opinion the 650's have too many spokes. I would go with the 695's. You should do a vote thread. Do what you like. Being different is not always a good thing,....the sheep know better.
These are probably 2 of the most common wheels I see on our cars to date, I vote keep looking .
