I agree

I think the black pentars are 28 lbs. I believe the chrome were slightly heavier, sucks for me, but they look sweet.

I'm running the 18x9.5 Chrome Ultra-Lite's with 305 DR's on the back. Check this thread out for pics: https://mustangforums.com/forum/2005...6k-beware.html

Really? You couldn't pay me to bolt up those fugly godspeed rims to my car. I could live with the Steeda's, but the fact that they're called "ultralites" when they aren't lightwieght at all bugs the crap out of me. They look decent, but they're just kind of... meh... The 5Zigen aren't anything special either, but for the price, they're some of the lightest rims at that width you're going to find.

how can those godspeed wheels weigh 25lbs in 9in wide and 10in wide?...they would look awesome in black..
When I get around to getting my wheels I will probably be buying these O-Zs

Because the added weight you gain on a deeper dish of the 10' rim is rendered moot by the skinnier flange for proper offset of said rim

Those O.Z.'s look really sick. I think they look sweet in bright silver on my car.
