I love my Malletts, but If I were going to do wheels again, I think the CCW 505 would be my choice. The West Coast Corvettes wheels are nice too.

Go with CCW - Great looking wheels and you get the deep dish look you are going for. IMO they are reasonably priced and have great customer service. Also, buy your tires from them - they'll arrive at your door mounted, balanced and ready to roll!

From: 90% of all Fords are still on the road.....the other 10% actually made it home!
All depends on what you consider "not amazingly expensive"!!! If $4000 is too expensive, there's a few out ther for half that price......or less.
If you're looking for something reasonably priced with a nice deep lip,........
"Ruff Racing" makes quite a few different wheels that come in a variety of styles, sizes and finishes.
Most of them have like a 3.5" lip in the rear and 2.5" in the front. They're not the widest wheels in the world....I think a 9.5" rear is the widest, but it still handles a 295/35/18 or 19 just fine. That's about the most popular size for the rear.
One guy here got a set with tires mounted and balanced and shipped for like $1250, which is about the most reasonable price you could conceive. I believe they were the 278 model like these.......
Just figured I'd throw something else in there besides CCW's.

Check out the Cray wheels also - moderate size lip to them and they look very good.
