Suspension setup and the Recaro seats have a lot to do with that as well. Nick/Pepper is right though, if you throw some thin tires on there, the ride is going to suck. As far as looks, pretty sure most the mustangs run with 20" wheels once they go aftermarket. From all the ones that I have seen, they only look bad if the wheel design/finish is lame, or if the fitment is wrong.

Edit: As far as the OP is concerned, I wouldn't even consider 19's, its a waste of money as far as tires go, 18's and 20's give better options for track/show use. Just my 2 cents though, I take my car to road courses as well as shows so I am a tad biased.
Remind me of the wheels you have again? That's an impressive weight!

Forgeline S3C3 (I think thats the right model number). They offer monoblock wheels as well which are even lighter.

Wow they have some really nice wheels! Prices are pretty steep about $1,200 a wheel. Get what you pay for I suppose.
