Popping my cherry here with my first post. My dealer wanted to sell me some upgraded wheels and roll them into my note which I decided to do but now I need to find some wheels. I am pretty sure I want 18" wheels but I am not sure about width. Are the options 8" 9" and 10"? Can anyone recommend any moderately priced $300 - $400 wheels and where the best place is to get them? Any issues with going with a wider wheel 10" vs. 8"? If I got 19" wheels would I have a hard time finding tires? Any info is appreciated.
 
18x9's are the best all around choice for 18' wheels. You could go bigger in the back if you want, it's up to you. Ford racing always have a good selection to choose from, or an aftermarket wheel with the same bolt pattern will. But if you wait a couple months, I'm sure there will be some more designs to choose from. Good luck!
 
I hope your talking 300-400 a wheel, because otherwise I think your going tohave a hard time finding any wheels at all...that said only problem with going with larger wheels and width is that tires cost more. They do tend to look better and wider tires are always better. The more rubber touching the ground the better. Most muscle cars that are coming out now are already staggering the widths stock and some like the Vette now stagger the diameter stock....looks real aggressive. I plan on doing this. As far as brand surf discounttire.com or tirerack.com, there are plenty of aftermarket replicas of deep dish bullits which I think look sweet, try the FR500s or centerline, american racing, raceline gts, HRE are sweet but expensive, IFORGED, kenesis are all popular choices, just to name a few. Boydd coddingtons and Foose wheels also sick but pricey. Let us know how it works out. Take pics.
 
Thanks for the replies, I think i have narrowed it down to the Steeda Ultralite 05 or the FR500 from Ford. Does anyone know if the F500 is lighter than the stock 17's?
