Sorry ARD T2, I didn't see your post until now. Those enkeis are a great option! I prefer that style with a bit of a lip, but those would be a good deal with some kind of discount. I've come to find that used is the way to go when it comes to value.. I'm going with this set of 17x8.5 2 piece BBS's, with tires included. Not the style I was looking for, but I still find them attractive. What do you guys think?

My only concern with that wheel is the offset. With 8.5" wide, if you every upgrade to a coilover you will have some internal clearance issues. You'd need a +25 to make that work with coilovers. If just standard struts, then you're probably fine as you can see he's done it.

Once again find out the offset. Not exactly a mesh wheel. hehe. You have lots of options bro. www.wheelchoice.com, takumi, ummms there's a lot of JDM used wheels for 5 Lug.

I seriously doubt that the GT wheels are forged. There is no way the bean counters at Ford (or any other main stream auto manufacturer) would have allowed the additional cost. They nit-pick over pennies, because when they produce in the volume they do, it adds up quickly.

Ford sells about 200,000 Mustangs a year, probably about 30% GTs. Assuming that forged wheels cost $200 more per set of four to make over cast wheels (my guess is more), 60,000 GTs would mean an additional production cost of $12 million/annually. For something that the average consumer will have absolutely no appreciation for (meaning they're not going to shell out more $$), the possibility of them being forged is pretty low.
