Default What's a deep dish wheel?

I can't seem to figure out what's a deep dish wheel. I've looked at pictures and nothing. I don't see the difference. Please explain and show some pictures.

Mmm...it just meanst that the edge of the rim extends a considerable amount from the spokes. E.G. if the spokes were a flat surfrace, it might look like a deep dish for baking a round item. I suppose at what measurment it becomes deep dish is subjective.

Outside edge or inside edge? (inside of the car)

There is a big lip on the outside of the rim. The wheel pattern is set back about an inch or more. Go to mustangtuning.com and look up both.

deep dishes are great, they look sexy and they fill up the rear wheel wells up nice, and you get better grip with them wide meats.

If you look at a good picture of a deep dish next to a regular rim, you'll be able to tell the difference. The deep dish has a "lip" so to speak, most of the time really shiny and they look awesome.

I'm going with deep dish black bullitts when I get my tax return this year.
