My main interests are quality, weight, pros and cons. I am considering 17 x 9 black Bullitt wheels. Both companies have them. TIA.

I'm thinking about the same thing George, but I want the 10..5" wheel in back. I like the look of those 315s.

The deep dish disparity is too much for me as shown here:
#5135 is on the block
I prefer to have the wheels even on all four corners.

I have the black/chrome AFS Mach 1 replicas. Not the wheel you are looking at specifically, but I can tell you the quality/finish of these wheels are very nice. I would buy another set from them in the future without a second thought.

Before you make a decision, do some research on the price difference between the 17s and 18s. I compared prices between the two a few months back. Depending on the manufacturer, it was as much as $80 per tire. The most economical of wider tires was the 275 40ZR 17. Another setback for the 18s was availability.

Availability of rims or tires?

I too have a set of AFS wheels, though not the kind you are thinking about purchasing. I agree with Grtpmkn, mine seem to be of excellent quality/finish. I've had no problems whatsoever.

Jason, Thanks!

George, If I get the 17"s, I will most likely use 275/40s in the front, and 315/35s in the rear. With 18"s, I'll have to look at tire diameters to see what will fit. I'm sure the tire rack has something available.
