plain and simple, I cannot decide AT ALL what wheels I want to get.

I am pretty set on 18 inch. I am asking for your opinions because I know you will help. What do you guys think? I am trying to not do something traditional. I don't really want bullits, unless the deep dish would look insane.

Just recommend some and maybe a picture of the wheel or something. I really need to order these things right away.

I personally love the style of the 2003 cobra rim in 17" but that's me, lol. If u look at my sig you can see my 17X9 and 17X10.5 black 03 cobra replicas. they're heavy as hell though

Yeah, I feel like if I get chrome 03 cobras, my car will almost be an exact replica of amricnidyot.

Where can I find deep dish fr500s?

i like the 03 cobra rims, i also love the bullitts but you don't want those. I would say go with the Cobra's if that's what you like and don't worry about copying or what not, think about how many people have bullitt's

You said you want something non traditional. I can tell you that coming to a mustang forum and asking that question will get you nowhere. People here tend to like traditional stang wheels, myself included. I personally have 18" Deep Dish Bullitts on my V6 and 17's on my Mach 1. If you go that route you really need to have 295 or wider tires in the rear for the sidewall to look right. If you go smaller than that you run the risk of getting curb rash since the wheels will stick out farther than the tires. Wide tires in 18" are expensive as hell too. I would consider staying 17" if you want deep dish. 315's on a 10.5" wide wheel look sick!

My vote is for either steeda ultra light 2's or saleen speedlines (not regular saleens) if you want unique and 18" wheels. Good luck with the search bro.

+1 fr500's are my fav wheel, im not a big fan of black wheels though, chrome would be a little to pricy and too much bling, but mabye polished aluminum, or gray

I agree with Flash, FR500s would look great with your car. black with a chrome lip.
What you think of the 07 Roush rims? check my sig.
