Yeah, the fanblades look great on Tungsten! 
I chose the fanblades because I've ordered Redfire, and back in '05 the early GTs were often paraded around in Redfire with the fanblades, and it looked HOT.
One of the mods here, Dan, reproduced the look on his car, which you can see in the below picture (which is exactly how my forthcoming car will look...including the tires). I think the Redfire shows off the 'blades better than any other color, personally >>

Chrome Bullitts are nice, too. I've just grown weary of Ford overdoing the Bullitt wheel thing - and the fanblades are unique, so unique, in fact, that Chevy ripped them off for the new Camaro convertible concept.

I am a huge cragar ss/torque thrust fan. So the 18" polished bullitts are the wheel for me.
The fan blades are pretty nice though. But I like them with the polished edges and painted inserts. I am not sure which ones those are, but they looked pretty sweet on a black stang I saw. Not my taste, but not bad.
One plus to the fans is that they fill the wheel wells a little better. They stick out about 1/2" further each side than the 18" bullitts. Ford messed up on the offset of the 18" polished bullitts IMO.

According to the wheel specs the 18" Bullitts and Fan Blades they have all the same offsets, backspacings and dimensions. But I do follow that if you set the 2 side by side the fanblades appear to be a larger diameter wheel and the bullitts could have used a little more dish.

- The large width of each blade.
- The fact that the blade itself extends beyond the inner circumference of the wheel edge, out to the outer circumference.
This gives the fanblades the appearance of being a 19" wheel, but without the headaches.
And, yes, offset is exactly the same as the 18" Bullitt wheels.
