Default Base GT wheels

Odd question, but does anyone know if there are any manufacturers out there that make replicas or similar wheels to the base GT wheel in wider sizing? I don't mind the look of the wheels, but the rears are just too narrow.

Thanks

Look at American Muscle's wheels. They sell an exact replica in a 10" width.

^awesome. Thanks tygr1.

Also, what size do these look like? The for OP of the for sale thread says they are 19"s, but I thought they only came in 18"s.

Those look like the 2010 GT style wheel and those came in 19's.

2012's also came in 19's so he probably is telling you the truth.

Upon further review, those ARE 19s...they look similar to the 18" GT wheel. I stand corrected.

Thanks folks.

I wonder why they stepped down to 18"s with the '11 and '12 models? Mine is a '12 with 18"s.

You are discussing two different wheels. The wheels in DG's picture of the Black Mustang are GT Premium style wheels and are 19 inch, the wheels in Tygr1's picture are GT style wheels and come in 18 inch. You can see the difference on the indentation on the spokes, the Premium style 19 inch goes all the way to the edge of the rim while the regular GT 18 inche stops and an inch or so from the edge of the rim. I believe AM has both in 10inch width wheels depending on the color/finish you want.
