if u want a fat lip i recommend going with a nice multipiece piece wheel...be prepared to drop 3k on a nice set of trueforged or even more. im a bit biased but id recommend an iforged. [ February 18, 2010, 02:55 PM: Message edited by: venomous99 ]

if you're looking for replicas im sure there are plenty of pics for u to look at to make a decision. i believe 10" wide bullets have around a 3" lip. u might be able to get a bit more lip going with a 10.5". another option is to look at some of the g35/350z wheels that usually have fat lips like a ADR, stern, etc.

your best bet is to get some $700 replicas and some el cheapo tires for another $500 if you're limited to 1200. if you're patient and dont mind buying used wheels u can sometimes find some used high end wheels in the 1800-2500 price range with tires.

as suggested, check out g35/350z wheels on ebay for cheap deals. most mustang replicas won't have more than 2" lips.
i was going to suggest something like this, but i think it's out of your range: http://www.introwheels.com/intro_photos/main.php?g2_itemId=161
they're intro gt sport. i had a set of 20s on my old truck when i was in the slammed out truck thing. they custom build it to whatever backspace you need that will give you the real deep dish look. for ~$2600 you can get a nice set of 18" CCW wheels, no tires though.

Why in the world would u spend up to 1200 on replica wheels? Especially when u can find them on ebay or mustang forums for cheap all day. If your gonna drop coin on brand new wheels then go with something non ford.

I think a multi-piece forged wheel is the only way to go for a 3+ inch lip. The cheaper cast wheels like the Godspeed and ADRs may have a 3+ inch lip but the spokes are not flat and stick out quite a bit and it makes the lip look small. If I can find the picture I had a godspeed wheel with a 4in lip and a trueforged wheel with a 3.5in lip side by side and the trueforged lip looked significantly bigger.
