I did a search and didnt come up with what I was looking for. Does anyone know a vendor for 18" chrome bullit style rims with +36-45mm offset. I have seen the 25 mm offset rims, and I think it looks good, but I would prefer the greater offset. Anyone know a place to get those?

Thanks

Sam

If they end up having them in the Satin silver finish you see the 17s in I am ALL OVER that.

Really hope they make some 18 by 10s too.....

I just spoke to the owner. He said that someone had just called asking about the black bullitts, thought it was me. 2 Weeks and they'll be in stock with the +36mm offset. He also said he was going to post up some pics in his gallery of the 18x9 Chrome Bullitts with the +36mm offset once his first +36mm offset customer sends them over.

Those r great looking rims and I want to get them also but a quick newbie question, Is there any rules on using the cobra centercaps on a regular mustang GT Do I have to get the running ponies or can I leave those on and not get the wrath of the true cobra mustang owners

Hey, understand the question, but I dont think anyone would care. Some people take this stuff a little too seriously, just enjoy the car!! I had '98 cobra rims on my 95 gt vert and they looked awesome and got a lot of compliments. Dont worry about that one!

In the crossroadz direct gallery they have a pic of a black gt with 18x9 bullits on it. check it out, do you guys think that it still sticks out too far?

Right - Matt the owner just told me via email that he will be putting some pics up soon of his first 05 sale for the chrome 05 Bullitts - can't wait!

35mm offset....... weren't the fanblades 45mm offset? Is this the correct offset for 18x9 on this car to have the rims sitting a bit farther out than stock?

Remember when someone put 1" spacers to bring out the factory bullits. They were flush or barley in the lip of the fender. Well a 9" with a +36 comes out about .8" from the the stock 8" bullits. I think they will be fantastic, and IMO the ideal offset for a 9" rim.

Thanks guys, appreciate the heads up on Crossroad direct! It is amazing to me, with all the rims out there, but I think that those bullit style are pretty much the perfect looking rim. and I am glad that the rims will sit a little further back than the ones in the pic!
