Best 18" Wheels

I know there are several best wheel threads, but I'm specifically interested in 18" wheels because I don't want the weight of 20" wheels.

I searched and didn't find a thread for this, if there is one, please point me to it. If not, can some of you post up some pictures of your fav 18-inchers?

I love mine of course:


Technically I think these are some of the best wheels you may find. But their look is really a matter of taste.
I like the ctrs or the deep dish bullit too but everyone has them and I wanted something different. I think for vista blue you should go for a chrome look and fat tires.

You should also check the "Show us your wheels" thread. There are a vast number of nice cars with great 18 inchers.

The problem of such a design (also Foose Nitrous and AR Razors) is that they look awesome in 20" but pitty in 18". This look is clearly for 20 inchers. Though it look s great in this size.

Precisely my point for making an 18" thread if there isn't already one. I love and really want deep dish wheels, but I also want 18's, which don't tend to look as good in deep dish. So in my desire to consider more options, I thought I might just ask what people have seen that they like.

hmmm,

wish I could actually see them on a Stang to help make up my mind. I've placed a request in the Photoshop forum. Hopefully someone will help me out.

Not sure of your price range, and the links below are directed to some expensive wheel manufacturers (CCW isn't that bad), but they may give ideas.

Complete Custom Wheel

They have many options in 18" and a gallery with select examples on +'05 Mustangs (though I am not sure on the sizing).

Those Torque Thrust IIs are sweetness. I've always liked those, and they look great on your ride!

I had the same issue. I loved the look of the 20's, but didn't want the weight and stiffer ride. I really like the AR Razors and Foose Nitrous, but they don't look as good to me in 18's. It took me a long time to make a decision on I decided on CT-R wheels.

Love those TTII's!

I really like Wheel Replicas 454M's, but they only make them in 20", which kind of kills it for me.

Yeah I'm with you on the 18's, it's too bad there aren't more 19's because I think they'd be the perfect wheel size for the S197s

I'd really like the idea of 19's, just looks like the prices are higher than 20's most of the time, unless I'm looking in the wrong places.
