I find it funny that a lot of people prefer the standard bullits. I am one of them, of course.
Me too. In fact, I think I would pay more if the machined were standard and the bullits were optional.

Somehow, I can picture these rims on a fox body a lot easier than on the new 05.

Yeah I'm beginning to regret my decision to go with the upgrade wheels. The more pics I see of the bullits the more I like them.
Ditto :shock:

The optional wheel to me looks like it would be more at home on anything OTHER than a sporty car like a Mustang. It just reminds me of something I've seen either on a Minivan, SUV, or Truck
... sorry, I just had to be honest !!

In all honesty, I didn't like the bright machined optional wheel until I saw it in person.

The wheel actually has quite a bit of dimension to it, it looks really good IMO.

I love the look of the bullitt as well, but considering I am going to order sonic blue, the bright wheel will set off the color better.

The bullet is starting to grow on me, but it justdoesnt have the same effect on the 05 as it did on the 04 and olders. Something in chrome is need desperately!

The 05 bullitts look ok but they kinda look different and slightly lack style compared to the 01-04 versions. The machined optional wheels look more like they belong on a explorer. I'd say get a nice set of aftermarket wheels.

I agree with you 03muzzy6 that they lack the style of the older versions. I just wish the 18" chromes were available.

IMO I really dislike the machined rims, there is no way I'd pay for them. I perfer the Bullitt rims and they are definitely what I'll have on mine until I pick up a set of these Cragars! The chrome is SO much nicer than the painted.
<~~love these lil' guys!

Download the order guide, they are in there. You should have it anyway so you can figure out all the options you want.

I love the Cragars too... and have been looking into getting Cragars mounted with 'summer' tires then using the Bullits with tires suited for 'all-season' use.

I'll be set for all seasons and handling.

it looks alot like "Mas35NYR" post above but also has the spinner cap I told my wife that if they come in black that might look pretty sweet. I asked a dealer yesterday in tampa and he seemed to think i could get it ordered that way, but you know how that goes

I've got the accessories guide and will try to scan/post. I hope I can order mine with the black bullitts! P.S. everyone at work is asking me why my 01 v-6 has Y2K5GT on the license plate...please hurry ford.

I find the bullet down right ugly on the new body style, and find them attractive on the older style. They redesigned the whole car and kept the standard rim, seems kind of strange IMO.
I agree with you completely.
