Default 2005 Black Mustang GT Rims. Looking for black rims but unsure which ones to get?

I have recently purchased a 2005 Black Mustang GT and have the windows tinted black and am now looking to add new rims to complete the look. I want black rims and like the bullit style but there are so many others to choose from, so I was looking for a few suggestions. Pictures would be very helpful as well. Thanks in advance!

I think black rims look great on black cars especially with the deep dish chrome. Check out americanmuscle.com and check out there 18'' deep dish blacks

If it has a chrome lip it's not too bad. If solid black I don't care for it much..

I think the black bullitts look the best too, but I might be a little biased. Only problem right now is the black bullitts are on backorder from Ford. You can get them through the stealership, but you're going to pay triple.


Edit: The 18" black bullitt aluminum rims from Ford are strong and they only weigh 22lbs apiece. I don't even think Steeda's 18" ultri lite wheel is that light and durable.

Also check out tirerack.com - that is where I got my black 20" Zinik Z9 Sabini's.

americanmuscle.com (mentioned above) is also worth checking out.

You could be right on the weight but the Steeda ultra lites are also wider at I think 18 X 9.5 vs. 18 X 8 for the Ford rims.

I went with Black Steeda Pentars (definitely 18 X 9.5) which are provided with a silver painted center cap. I painted the center cap gloss black with a spray-can.

Yah the Steeda ones are wider and they look sweet too. I looked into getting some of those myself, but since mine came with the black bullitts, it was just all around better price-wise to just purchase 2 more for drag racing. The Ford ones are actually 18 x 8.5. I called Weldcraft to see about getting them widened. It's $225 per wheel to widen up to 3".

The only place the original Ford-made bullitts are available through that I can find is Blue Oval or a dealership. Like I said before tho, they are on back order from Ford right now.

2005-2008 Genuine Ford Mustang GT 18 x 8.5 Black Bullitt Wheel at Blue Oval Industries for your Ford Mustang @ Blue Oval Industries

Thanks for all the suggestions...I am starting to look at them and i do like the chrome lip as opposed to all black and also like the deep dish look alot more than i had orginally thought. I will keep you updated and let you know which ones i go with. Thanks again!

get the black SVT GT500 wheels.

18x9.5" is a great size for the 4 corners, can fit a good rear tire too !
