Did I order the right wheels?
Ok, so I ordered the 'blades, which I have always really liked.
However, I keep seeing the polished 18" bullits and thinking how nice they look, which is making me question my selection. The car is tungsten and will have the FRPP handling pak installed, i.e., lowered gently.
Anyone have profile pics of a tungsten with FRPP handling pak (or just the FRPP lowering springs) and either fanblades or the 18" polished bullitts to convince myself I made the right decision??
Profile pics of tungstens with both or either type of wheel would be appreciated and quite helpful.
Thanks guys!

I found one picture of one car from the rear 3/4 angle, which looks a little skewed, but it was in an odd format and I cant post...
I can't even copy it...and I cannot find it a second time of course, **** rum.

There are some pics on page one of this thread of a lowered Tungsten Gray with Fan Blades - looks fine:

BTW, our cars are very similar. Picked mine up last Tuesday (although I went with the bullits):

I know all about the wheel worries...... When I ordered, I couldn't decide between the polished upgrades or the painted bullitts ('05), but I eventually decided on the polished upgrades. The polished bullitts are definitely more common, but that's the wheel I would order if that was my current choices. I'm not a fan of the blades.....

Of course, it's all personal preference, but I'm inclined to think that different wheels go better with different colors.
The fanblades do have the advantage of being unique (Bullitts have been WAY overdone, IMHO) and looking a bit bigger than their 18" diameter due to the large size of the "blades."
I think the fanblades look good on the Tungsten. But the 18" polished Bullitts do match up particularly well with Tungsten, too.
That was completely unhelpful, wasn't it? Sorry.

Be patient, it's worth it!

I agree with "Hollywood_North GT" and "Louie"......... It's all personal preference.
Don't change your mind because somebody is telling you that he/she don't like it. Just remember that it will be your car.
I liked the fan blades as soon as they came out. And I was thinking that when ever I would order me a Mustang it would be with the fan blades. Until the moment I wanted to put the order in. The bullets do look real good to. After all I did order the fan blades because this was my first choice to begin with.
I think you made a right choice.

Embalmer: I always thought Alloy was too dark, looking much like black, but I think it is growing on me. I like your car and your option selection.
And I too have the premier trim, but the interior will be dark charcoal instead of graphite.
oh, the waiting.

O6GT, you are my hero!
Thanks so much for the pics.
Right after I ordered, I found the 3/4 rear photo of your car somewhere on this site and copied it onto my computer, but did not recall seeing any profile shots. Of course I could not then find the pic again.
Your car is the one I referenced above and is essentially exactly what I ordered, with the exception of the GTAP I ordered. I am also planning to tint either at delivery or shortly after, depending on what they tell me...
Awesome taste you have
I'd love any other pics you have and also your thoughts on the FRPP handling pak...

I'll upload some of them sometime.
The FRPP package is great, the ride is firm without being punishing, and the car handles very well. I go to PIR every now and then and run their road course, the car really surprises a lot of people--Mustangs aren't supposed to turn! Body roll is reduced GREATLY.
