I think they'd look pretty good on any colour.

I'd like to see them on WBlue... I don't think they'd look as bad as you think.

Very sharp

I like the wheels a lot, but the tires look to small for some reason, they look like you could have gone a lot fatter. Could you have and still kept your overall dia very close to stock?
I would consider these wheels when my stock tires wear out, but only if I could go with fatter tires.
The wheels are 9" wide, so you could go fatter. I wouldn't go past 275. The tires I have on them are 255. I got a good deal on the 255/45-18's for some reason. The guy that was installing them had mentioned going to 275's, but that lower speed drivability and noise could be a problem. Whether or not that's true I can't justify spending $40 more a tire for 20mm of width.

What website did you order them from? they are awesome! I think i know what i want for christmas
If you call AFS wheels (www.afswheels.com) you can order them there. They don't have them on their site for some reason.

But, you can save yourself a $100 by buying them from their ebay store. They have a ton of wheels on ebay. I didn't want to buy them that way, but why spend more?

I would call them or drop them a note to thoroughly inspect them before they are shipped. I had to send back two of them for finish issues. Their customer service is great though.

Thanks for the pics. I'm always looking for a set of new wheels. Looks good, but not enough of a difference from the stock bullits for my taste. JMHO. MUCH better than the upgrade rims though.

No offense but I would have to see them in person. Every time I start thinking about getting different wheels I stop and think how good the stock Bulletts look on the MG~

I agree, which is why I still have my stock bullitts. I just wish they had a little bit of dish and a better polish on the rim.

I can understand your point of view. The pictures don't do them as much justice as they deserve. It is a very high polish.

Like I said, I was sceptical at first when buying them, but I am very pleased with the fit and finish.

They don't have them in deep dish yet for the 05-06. That would have been my first choice. I just don't have any patience.

Sorry, I was talking to GRAYPNY about the stock bullitts. I think yours have a VERY nice polish to them. I like them more every time I look at them. Nice!

I really like the size tire you went with, just right!

those look fabulous I'm seriously considering a set.
do they come with matching lug nuts? And when time permits, would you mind taking a photo or two from directly behind and sharp angles from the rear. I'd like to get an idea of how far "out" they sit. I'd prefer an offest of 45 or more, but 38 is pretty close.
