Default Help with Bullits!

Anyone know where I can get 18' Deep Dish Polished Bullitts for my 06?
I have the factory polished 18s and want it to look identical apart from the deep part...

I looked at those too. Nice rims! But aren't they the wrong offset for our cars?

I got the deep dish from there. Don't forget the pony center caps. Here is what they look like on.

I dont know how to expain it. But the aftermarket 18" bullit wheels dont look as "big" as the factory bullits. Maybe it is me?

Maybe that's because the spokes are set deeper?
I see they are one sale now for $175 each, not too bad! Of course, I'd recommend the spinner Pony caps, but that's a personal preference.
Why go deep dish, BTW? Is there some advantage to having the spokes set more inward, other than maybe not scraping them on big curbs or something? Or do they just look cooler? I guess they will need wider tires than the stock 17" bullitts?
I saw a bunch of GTs at the Ford dealership today with the factory 18" bullitts. Not deep dish.

I read in another post that we should only order rims with a 45mm offset. These are 35mm. Please help me understand what the difference is in this 10mm. Thanks

The 35mm offset pushes the rim of the wheel further out from the centerline of the wheel. The factory 18x8.5 with 50mm offset leaves lots of room between the tire and fender lip, so the one's Mustang Tuning is selling serve to fill the fender better to give the car a more aggressive stance and cleaner overall appearance.
