Your options aren't as wide due to you needing front wheels that can clear the brembo's.
I think a staggered set of American Racing Torque Thrusts, Foose Nitrous, Foose Nitrous II or even an FRPP GT500 wheel like you have now but in black would be cool.
I'd be very careful and go with a good brand.
A lot of what's out there today are very cheaply made and the finish may not hold up too long.
I bought many a set of wheels over the years for my mustangs and I've seen it all and have found that you get what you pay for with wheels as in most other things in life.
Why do you want to go up in size to a 20"? Just curious.

What about the new FRPP version of the 2011 GT-500 Track Pack wheels? The OEM wheels are 19" front, 20" rear, but FRPP has them as 19x9" and 19x10" ...

That might be a consideration. I really have nothing to lose and if I don't like the look it's back to square 1.
They are 20X9 Razors with a 24mm offset.
He put 235/35/20 on the front and 285/30/20 on the rear.
Tires are Nitto 555's.
I know you said you really weren't going for the razors but this'll at least show you your tires size options and fitment on a 9 inch wheel with a 24mm offset.
Looks good to me but black looks good too.

I came across this car last night online and because it is the same colour as yours figured I'd post up a couple of shots for you.

I have seen a set of these on a mustang and they are one of the nicest 20's for the mustang imo.
They are staggered as well so you get the bigger tire out back.
