2001 BULLITT Wheel Manufacturer???

Does anyone know who actually manufactured the 2001 Bullitt wheel for Ford? I'd like to get some wider wheels for the rear that match the originals exactly in color and style (for summer use only). All the aftermarket wheels I've seen are darker gray paint with less metallic than the factory wheels. I really don't want to spring for four new wheels if possible.

Not sure, but I *think* it may have been Western Wheel. Maybe someone can confirm that?

bullitt wheel viewing at Carlisle, PA

Went to the Ford Show in Carlisle PA and have determined that the anthracite wheels from American Muscle are about the closest to the bullitt wheels that came with the new-edge mustangs. I'm probably going to get a full set so that I can get some peformance tires for the warmer weather. I think I'm going to go with 275/17's all around because they came on the Terminators and probably won't change the ride as negatierly as 315/s. This car is my daily driver so it has to get out in light snow on occasion.

I know 18" wheels might look better but I'm concerned about the ride of my 2001 convertible since the roads around where I live are not the best and the thing already takes a beating, flexes and rattles (even with the stock frame connectors). Any comments or suggestions?
