I am looking to run a square tire set up all the way around on my 2012 GT. I run road courses and currently plan to run 285/30/18s all around. I'm looking for a reasonably priced wheel that is not to heavy in 18x9.5 or 10. I'm fairly new to the newer Mustang so could use some help in being pointed in the right direction. Give me some recommendations please.

I'll check it out. If there are any other options please post. I know I can get some nice options if I spend over $300 per wheel but these wheels are probably not going to stay in perfect condition. With running open track, one off track excursion and rocks and dirt could make my wheels look nice and used.

I went with Forgestar CF5 18x10 (42 offset)all around with Nitto NT555 G2 at each corner. No problems, no rubbing.

My 18x10s fit perfect even with the LS brake cooling kit with conti 285/40r18’s all around.

18x10 forgestar CF5's if you have the budget. I am running those in the rear currently and have no complaints. Definitely lighter than a cast aftermarket 18x10 wheel. I believe they are 21-22 lbs.

Mustang AMR Charcoal Wheel - 18x10 (05-14 All) - Free Shipping

About .8 lbs heavier (I weighed one before I put tire on, AM
site does not list weight), but I didn't want gloss black.
I've read the center caps melt on a road course,
but I wouldn't run them for that anyway.

4 piston Brembos fit easy. Here is bunch of pics I took fitting rim and
then with a 295/40R18 NT05. That tire just grazes frame
at full lock, so I might run 5mm spacer (which doesn't need
new studs).
