19inch bullits

Hi, I just recently won an ebay auction for a set of 19"x9 Chrome Bullits, for a really really cheap price.

I got them for $180 for a set of four. lol

Now im trying to figure out what tires i should put on, should i go with 245 on the front and 275 on the rear...I'm not really sure so maybe you guys could help me out???

heres a pic of the rims.

Those kinda look like rims for a 94-04. But they will look good!

yeah, those do look sweet... but the awesome deal on the rims will be quickly out weighed by the tire costs. I was looking at some 19 Saleens, which are being flooded into market right now, and could not believe the huge difference between the 18's and 19's. And in many cases, the 20's are even cheaper.

Good luck and hope you can find tires that will work for you without hitting your wallet too hard.

There's a lot of people selling really cheap nitto,bfg,goodrich tires on craigslist.com. You should look into their website, maybe you could find a great deal there for your rims.

I looked forever and could never find any in 19". I ended up settling for 20's. Now, if AFS makes them in staggered black chrome I'm really going to be upset.

Black chrome is sick! I wanted those but couldnt find anymore on ebay, i know stage3motorsports has them now, for 1000 a set. But you could always go the cheap way and have a shop paint it in black chrome.

Those really nice wheels you got there If your in cold weather you might consider an all season tire because Nittos(Z-rated) hate the cold below 32 degrees F.

I just picked them up today at Canoga park,ca. The owner of AFS wheels is really nice and cool guy to talk to.

These beauties are flawless!

Are they mounted yet???

Look great man, can't wait to see them on the car. I've been dying to see 19" Bullitt's on this car. I think they're the perfect wheel and the perfect size for this car. Can't wait to see the combo.
