After waiting about as long as I did for car, I FINALLY have my wheels!
I got them from Wheel Replicas . They are so new they're not even on the website yet.

They are 18x9's with a +36mm offset made specifically for the '05. They were only $664.00 shipped and they got here VERY fast.

Problem now is I had to order the tires from Sumitt since I couldn't find any around here. They won't be here until Tuesday. I ordered 255/45/18 BFG g-force KDW-2's. They were $668.95 shipped.
I'll post plenty of pics when I get them on.


Sorry the pic isn't that great, but it's hard to get a good picture of a black wheel on light colored carpet. I'll try taking it outside for a better one.

Sorry man, but I am pretty sure those aren't FR500s. I think they are made by BBS.

How'd you order them?

Those are exactly what I've been looking for. Do the centers come out that have the cobra on them? Would possibly want to replace those.

Thanks, everybody! I am SO anxious to get them put on!

Brad, I might have to make a special trip to P'Cola after I get them on. (this was my last week down there)

Kyle,
You'll have to call to order them. Greg will be who you talk to. He stays pretty busy, but I'm happy with the outcome. Here's their number. 888-449-4335
Their link is in my first post.

MustangTuning.com already has them on their website, but they are a little more expensive. $180 per wheel shipped. WheelReplicas.com was $166.

mustangracing.com and partshopper.com will also be carrying them but I don't know their prices for the new '05 version.

Oh. Almost forgot.

Kyle,
I don't like the center caps either. In fact, here's the thread I started to find out what I could replace them with.
I need new center caps. Any ideas?
I'd love to have the pony center caps from my '03 since they have a black background, but would they fit?

Here's a pic from the '03.

VERY nice! How much do they weigh and does anyone know if you can get them in 9.5 or 10 inch widths?

You know what.....I think you are right. They are very similar though, so it gives an idea at least.

Going to have to wait a bit I think. Want to put 18x10's on the back. Mustangtuning only has 18x9's.

It'll probably be a long wait. They have just recently come out with 18x10's for the pre-'05's.

Guess I'll just have to live with an 18x9 than. Don't feel like waiting to long. And should be wide enough.
