This is my first post. I was looking for some new rims for my black '05 GT. I was leaning towards something that was black with a polished lip. I found some with a design I liked, but they have a deep lip. I am not sure if they will stick out or not.
The rims are 18x9 Motegi Touge. The offset i believe is +12mm. If any one has something similar to these and can help me by showing me some pictures of theirs I would appriciate it.
This is just the start of my Mustang mods . . .

+12mm?! Those will stick WAY out. (not because of the size of the lip, it's the low offset)

Stock is +45mm so stay as close to that as you can. Anything under +35mm just doesn't look right to me.

redhawk, if you do a search, I believe I have seen a pic of those rims on another members car. I'll look and see if I can find the pic in here.

I'm guessing those don't have a +12mm offset.
They belong to ZeroK
I like 'em except for the lip.

Well since some think they will stick out too far, does anyone have any other suggestions? I am not big on bullits, but I really like the look of the black center with a polished rim. Any suggestions would help

I'm looking for more of the 5 single spoke design. Not a big fan of the FR500's.
Thanks for the help

That's cool. I wasn't either when they first came on and they were on the pre-'05's. In fact, I HATED them. Then, after looking at THOUSANDS of wheels and not finding any black ones I liked, I happen to see a pic of them and it just hit me. They were what I HAD to have... but I had to wait 6 months for them.
Keep looking. Don't settle. There are a lot more out there now that'll fit the new Mustang. Try all the usual websites. I fouind a lot of black w/ silver lip, just didn't like them or they weren't the right size and offset.
