This is my first poll, hope I did it right. I have went up down left right and all around and have solidified everything but wheels. The dilemma, I want to keep costs down. I can either get leather and 17s or cloth and 18s. Right now I have the 17 inch stock with the ICAP on order. I am not a big fan of the upgraded aluminum on most but actually think it looks pretty good on the TG color. Should I change?

Here is question number two. Unfortunately I have to drive this car in winter. If I went with a polished aluminum option, would the road salt negatively effect my wheels if I washed them every couple weeks? Thank you for your feedback. I am dieing to get my ride! Pics for reference

 

pic of the blades.

 

Blades.....they fit this car better than most other rims IMO. And they are unique to this version of the mustang.

 

Judging soley by the pic of the new 18" bullit, I'd say that one is worth the wait, at least for me it would.
Do what feels right first, changing is not always good if you're unsure.

 

Tungsten w/ dark char. and blades... I'm a total neutral party on this topic... really I am...

 

hehe...of course you are

But you forgot to vote

 

I'm partial to the bright machined wheels.......

 

Blades w/ dk charcoal. Or better yet bite the bullet and get ICAP and Blades.

You only live once.

 

To see how Tungsten looks with chrome bullitts check out this post #8 by "Cobber". Although, these are only 17" aftermarket, the pics should help with your decision.

IMO, Bullitts are the way to go. They look better than the Cragar rims they are patterned after and compliment the retro look of the new Mustang. Very sporty! I'm not saying the fan blades don't look good, they are just a little more classie. So I guess it all depends on the look you're going for. I went with the Pony Package just for the fact that it came with the bullitts... Alot of value for the money seeing a set of aftermarket Bullitts are close to the price of the Pony Package...

 

I'm thinking Anthracite bullitts would look perfect on the car, but as of factory options, the stock bullitts.

 

x2. At least that's what will be on mine when I get it home and slap on some 18x9 aftermarket Anthracite Bullitt's. I didn't do any wheel upgrade, and my factory 17"s will hit ebay asap.

 

Hey, that's my car! Yes, I'm, partial to the fanblades. To me, the bullits get lost in the whole package, probably because to the eye there is less wheel surface area to see. Because the actual blades on the fanblades are quite wide, they are more noticeable and appear larger in diameter. It's an illusion, but that's what I see.[attachmentid=31808]

 

I ordered the same car but with the spoiler and Automatic

 

Well if you have seen my tungsten posts you all know how i was flip flopping before deciding on tungsten again. I really don't think you can go wrong with any of them. I personally like the stock bullitts, wish you could get the same painted bullitts in 18' from the factory, but oh well. I vote for stock bullitts, but you do whatever makes you happy man!!!!!!

 

Who is making a good quality aftermarket 18' anthracite bullitt wheel for the 05/06 gt's???????? What company are you using??????

I doubt they are the highest quality wheel on the market, but at the price they offer, I can't complain. I know a few people that have the chrome set, and they look very nice in person. I haven't heard any complaints about these wheels. Is there something i'm missing?

 

I voted dark charcoal with the blades...great combo on the Tungsten IMO!

 

For Bullitts go to E-Bay and type in Bullitt wheels. There is a company near Tampa FL that sells wheel and tire packages for a reasonable price.

 

I voted for the fanblades. I personally don't think the bronze/gray painted bullitts match well at all with almost purplish/silver hues of Tungsten.
