I would go with the polished bullitts especially with black. But you can't go wrong with either.

I've got the painted 17" bullits on my black gt vert.
I guess I can live with them for awhile.
Sure wish they'd had the polished 18s available when I placed my order.

I think given the choice I'd go with the bullets, but both look nice from what I've seen. Might also consider just getting whatever base rims they offer and save money if you decide to upgrade to after market rims.

i like my fans so much that im thinking of not puting my aftermarket wheels i had on my 05 on...
the fans are half polished and half painted...
if the bullits had some sort of a lip i'd say go with them, but since neither of them do id say go with the fans....

Now that I have my car, I wouldn't change my rims for anything I've seen. Here is a pic.



The pic doesn't do the rims justice, I can't say enough about how wicked they look with the black paint.

I am partial to the Blades and have seen them on black and they look great, but if I were getting black myself I would go with the 18 inch Bullits the look awesome on black.

I've seen both and the Bullits look better IMO. The blades look like SUV. wheels IMO.

I would order Fan Blades! There are too many Bullitts out there. Time for something new.

This link will take you to pics of my black 06 w/fanblades.

Good luck with either rim you choose.
