Dang, those tires are super-uber low profile!

I like those wheels too, but like Leo said, them are some big rivets.


What I'm finding out from everyone's responses, it's not the actual wheels or spoilers that look terrible or bad, it's how we picture it/them on our rides. Some choices are flat out fugly and that we can all agree on.
It's the variety of mods that makes ALL of our rides unique.

If I was going to replace my wheels...



Or Deep Dish Bullets.

I still haven't seen a wheel that is that much better than the stock bullit that makes me want to replace them. The down side is that they're only 8" wide. That's where deep dish Bullits come into play.

Hey, I think you got that. Your ride is 100% unique and I really haven't seen those LEDs on any other car.

I'm with Brian on this one. I really like those Shelby wheels. The Razors still aren't my cup of tea.

I personally plan on going with Ford GT replica wheels when I replace my 17 crap-o bullitts. They make some deep dish versions that are absolutely stunning.

Wish I could get the real ones like Project Source Horse has, but I don't dream that high.

Bill 2- I like those wheels and I think the stance is pretty amazing.

Rachael Ray sucks by the way. She is one of the one people I don't like to watch on the Food Network.

Off Topic speaking of chrome & powder coat

Charlie turned me on to a chrome and plating guy (Bob) who's Business name is Vern's? don't ask!

Anyway his quality is excellent and prices are great! Below are some pic's of my visit there. That's Bob's ride you may have seen it a R & R?



Charlie on the left and Bob on the right.






Charlie's strut tower bar it was powder coated but Charlie had it chromed.






Pick a color!

I LOVE the shelby Razors in chrome and the GT500 Wheels in Chrome are a close 2nd.

I would have to purchase new tires along with the rims, since I would go 18" or 20".

So no wheel/tire upgrade till I hit the jackpot.

I think our 18" Bullitts are 8.5" wide. I love the look of my wheels, but it's too narrow to run any kind of meats out back. I think the widest I can go is 255.

DD is not an option for me, I just don't care for them.

On the Shelby wheels, I like the CS69 (center wheel), but they only come in 20's!

That's why I was looking at the Steeda wheels, they come in 18 and are 9.5" wide. I want to go staggered, but at the minimum, I'll settle for 275's all around (like B2's Roush).

LOL! I kept hearing those helicopters too lastnight, around 10pm right?

Back on subject, those Foose wheels look to 'show bling' for me. And, I'm sure they cost a pretty penny.
The Shelby Razors look okay, but to clean those rivets...

Great Find B2
I wonder how the C&L would look powder coated Vista Blue ??


I was wrong about the 8, they are 8.5. One of the wheels that Shelby makes is 18-10 the CS67 I believe. Too bad about the other being 20 only. I think the 20ies are way too big.

The GT500s are also nice, I had forgotten about those. Another wheel that I would love to see 18x10 is the 10th anniversary wheel..



I never liked the DD bullits either but they've really grown on me lately. To run a bigger tire I'd probably end up getting them.

To go along with my theme, I'd get them in chrome.
These are NOT cheap though... $299 a copy.
Not sure I like them either Bill. And I know I don't like any wheel with rivets, too much detail for me.

I'm a bullit man all the way, just wish they carried the width. Someone must have them in 10" width.

Good news Brain! Read a post from 05stangkc that the CS69 in 18's are only a few weeks away.

Now, if the price and width is right and comes in chrome...
... just might be selling off my factory Bullitts.

They do come in 10's, but in DD.

Since the news on the CS69's in 18, that's what I'm leaning towards now.

Brian posted it above, but here's the link. I like the center chrome finish.

When they come out in 18's, it should be available in both 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 sizes.

According to their website, the 9.5" are capable of running 285's.
