Call me indecisive – which do you guys think look best for my '06 GT Tungsten convertible.

The classic 17” Bullitt
Or
The new 18” Fanblades


And what about the mechanical mods that come with the 18" wheel?
Just different springs?

 

Don't they have 18" bullits?

 

It depends on how long you want to wait. I personally like the fanblades, but I"m not going to wait for the delay or feel it's worth getting 18's because I'm afraid of how much more coarse the ride will be from them.

 

My build date for the car with the Fanblades is Aug 22, so not an issue.
Assuming 64E is Fanblades that is.

 

Adam, either one would be fine. I was ticked about the mixup on the wheel codes, because I really wanted the 18 in bullits. I think the 18 in wheel looks better on this car. I will probably sell the fanblades and get the bullits later at cost per my dealer. My build date is 8/15, so like you it was either wait or take the fanblades. I thought it best with the suspension "upgrade" it was best to order 18 in wheels, that way the car is already set up for them. Personally, I hope they bring a silver 18 in bullit wheel later.

I'd go with the stock bullitts and then move up to 18x9 aftermarket bullitts when you have the money.

 

I'll trade anyone a set of '05 bullets for a set of fanblades (plus probably some cash, I guess). Bullets are 17" though.

 

18" fanblades...but don't get them, I don't want my order delayed because of limited availability!!

 

No question, fanblades are the right choice!

 

I would go with the 17" Bullits over the 18" Fan Blades JMO.

 

Fanblades all the way (I'm a bit biased though).

 

I've always wanted the fanblades UNTIL I saw the 18" CHROME BULLETS

 

17" Bullitt.

Save some $$ too after smoking the tires off in a month.

 

Saw the fanblades on a test mule on the expressway in Detroit. I would go for them . They have much more visual impact when moving than any of the 05 GT wheels. They fill the wheelwells better and also appear to stick out more from the body.

The 18in wheel looks/fits better IMO. Personally I'm getting the 64E for the look and supposed suspension tune. I would rather have the 64W bullitts though but no way am I going to wait around for them. I do hear that the 17in wheel is better for at the track since you get more sidewall. So it depends on if you like how they look or not.

 

Stock Bullitts. No doubt.
Besides the fact that I think they look better, there are a lot of "fanblade" looking wheels out there on foreign cars and trucks. They're everywhere once you start looking.
The only cars that have the Bullitt style (Torque Thrust II) wheels are other Mustangs and some old muscle cars.

 

tough decisision :scratch: ....why not get two Stangs, one with each set of wheels?

 

If I were ordering an '06 I would get the Bullitts. The Fanblades just don't do anything for me in the pics I've seen.

 

Get the fan blades and if you don't like them I will trade you for my Bulletts
