Actually yes, they do have small rims. Unsprung weight is a performance killer. Formula 1 uses 13" wheels, Champ Cars use 15", NASCAR 15", and I'd venture a guess that the 15 and 16" Minilites are the overwhelming size favored by track day cars. 20's will impress onlookers, but from a performance and wallet standpoint I wouldn't mind 18's at all.

I cannot wait to see what happens!
Not to be a downer- and not that I or any of my European e-friends are in the know about such things, but we were under the impression Europe isn't likely to see this car. Especially considering Ford having a much stronger following in the UK and surrounds, and they haven't ported the Mustang. The quickly fading dollar and finally the return of North American production I'd think wouldn't bode well either. Oh well. I'll keep hope alive for those across the pond anyway.!
