Default Manufacturer of stock '16 GT 18" Wheels?

Anyone know the manufacturer of stock '16 GT 18" Wheels? I think I'd like to buy a couple of wider ones for the rear! (See wheels on my Mustang below)

You could always buy a stock pair on eBay and have them widened.

That's probably the only way to get a wider set. I imagine that whoever the manufacturer is, they have an agreement with Ford not to produce any that aren't Ford authorized; likely that Ford owns the design.

Check out Eric Vaughn or Weldcraft. I'm sure there are others.

Thanx for the response! Some of the other Ford Factory Mustang wheels are available on the internet in larger sizes such as those with "specialty Mustangs" like the 50th Anniversary Mustang or even the Ford GT. You may be right on these 18" stock mass production wheels since I haven't seen them on the internet. Also I doubt they get a lot of sales of 18" stock wheels like this in a wider size!

I think I'd be worried safety wise about having a 18" Wheel widened. I'd just replace all four wheels with a different model wheel. I've seen bad things with wheels cut & altered.
