Oh, come on man. Those are SICK!!! Seriously some of the best I've seen. Kinda like the Cobra style. I definately won't get the cobras because so many people will get them. Very nice though. I actually went to the dealer today and someone offered to by my Bullitts. I guess the dealer was having a hard time getting ahold of some. I will not part with them. They will be my spare set. But definately go with those. Who makes them and how much?? What size are you looking at??

They are 18x9 ADR phantom wheels..I really liked them upon my first impression 'cause they look very unique and should look pretty trick on the 'stang...Not sure how much they go for, but my buddy who has a performance shop had these in the back of his shop and said "we'll work somethin' out"!~ Just so happens they are 5x114.3 ..Not sure what the backspace is on them, but I can always add some spacers if need be...Any more opionions

I'm not quite sure I understand how spacers would help. If anything the offset might be too low for the '05 so they'd stick out too far. Wouldn't spacers make them stick out even more? Maybe I'm missing something here.

I tried to find more info on the wheels for you, but the only place that had them listed was the ADR website. It didn't list the offset (or backspacing). They must be pretty new. I'd email them and ask.

They are insane. If I had the $$$ for wheels right now, and if my torch red was here, I would get those. The best I have seen so far.

I really like the black contrast. I personally like a little wider spoke but even so, those look pretty nice!

Haven't decided what will go on my Torch Red when it gets here (next week?). I also like the contrast on those wheels but prefer a wider spoke for a more retro look. Haven't found anything with the right offset yet. Please post pics if you get them, that's the way to really tell. Maybe I will be converted!
