My '03 Cobra doesn't handle like a brick, but then again, I don't really consider it a "Mustang" so ... 😀
And don't listen to some of these people... can we say 2.0L I4 3SGTE with 800 HP? It's not about # cylinders. You can make 2000 HP with 2 cylinders if you have the money (The nitromethane drag bikes make 800 HP per cylinder with a V twin). It's about how much money you have to throw at spinning the wheels. Period.
That said I don't like rice either, but your car seems ok except that can, but I'm only judging by looks.
Back to the topic... I'm sorry I have to agree the black rims look tacky, looks like your hubcaps got stolen or like a bunch of cheap spares....
I prefer the classic 5 spoke non-polished brushed/matte metal look myself, like the factory wheels that come on the Cobra and Z06 in 17" or 18" size and no larger.
Bigger than 18" or excessively mirror polished wheels I associate with people who wear gold chains have 15 tvs in their vehicle all on at one time for the benefit of passer bys, and the person undoubtably has a cicada mustache and trys to talk like a thug. You'll usually see their tatooed arm hanging out the window, gothic font on their limo tinted windows, or you will see their vehicle parked outside the DES office usually.
Try too hard and its ghetto looking. 9 times out of 10 that Escalade with 22s is going home to a trailer with a girl friend on welfare and 3 starving babies.
