Well, the FR500C is a good wheel, but its a 3 piece rim. If its worth that kind of price tag is up to you to decide. I can tell you that your average Mustang owner won't be going out to purchase a set.

Most guys buy a nice allow wheel and may even buy a 2 piece wheel if they want to step it up. You can at least buy a 2 piece wheels for a fair price. That Godspeed Omega in the Photos above are single piece allow wheels. The 18X9's in the 36mm are only 24lb's which is very light.

It does indeed have a lip, but the lip size on the 18X9 cannot be compared to that of the 18X10. The Bullitt wheel for example has a lip size that I would estimate at about 1 inch on the 18X9's. It is a noticeable contrast with the black spoke because the lip is polished aluminum with a clear-coat.

However, if your wanting a deep dish wheel and lets say you wanting about 2.5-3.5 inches, it will be tough to find many wheels in this range. The wheels you see on the 427 Roush Mustang are 18X9's all the way around and the lip size on that wheel is 3.40 inches which is fairly large. I can get you into the same wheel in Black Spokes. If you like the Godspeed Omega in that size you could rotate your tires and I could do $449.00 for a full set of four. Let me know what you think.

Otherwise if you really like the Bullitt type spoke you may also consider the Foose Legend Wheels. This is an interesting wheel because it is a reverse barrel wheel. Its tough to explain but most wheels are considered a standard drop center rim, which means the lip has to end at its structure point in the barrel design. However, the Legend's lip never ends and is has that old school nostalgic drag style look. Very much like the Bullitt. You can do this rim in all 18X9's and this is what that rim looks like:

Foose Legend Wheels


Godspeed Omega Wheels (Black) 18X9's left 18X10's right:


The center caps on this wheel are also interchageable with the OEM caps:

No pics of the Omegas in the 20'' or 10'' wide version? I'd love to see them if you do.

Default Godspeed Omega 20X8.5 & 20X10

I am told the 20 inch staggered Godspeed Omega will be debuted at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas the first week of November. They will have a 20X8.5 which only weights, if I'm not mistaken about 27lbs! The 20X10 has a slightly larger lip than the 18X10. The 20X10 has a 5.5 inch lip I'm told. Not a huge difference but it will make a statement! We will have these available probably December and latest January. For now though the 18 inch Godspeed Omega has been pretty hot, but I can't wait on the 20" version!
