I bought a set of Ford Racing 17X8 polished Bullitts and put some Nitto 555 255/50 tires on them. I wanted to see how the car would look with some more sidewall and was going more for the old school look. I still have the 18X9 black deep dish American Racing Bullitts and will probably swap them around every once in a while. Wheels sure change how a car looks.

 

Looks good! Definitely has a more classic look to it. Doesn't look as "mean" as it does with the deep dishes, but it looks great. You can't go wrong with the chrome bullitts.

I know what you mean when you say wheels totally change the look of the car. My car is a prime example. I had my stock aluminum 16" wheels with spinner center caps on over the winter while saving up for some new tires for my black saleens, and I HATED it. My black wheels make my car look 300% better and COMPLETELY different.

 

You got a point my friend . Ive been called a wheel ***** before, but funny enough, I wasn't offended.

 

I still miss the Shelby's.....

 

Actually I wish I had never gotten rid of the Racelines~

 

Can't say I blame ya, they were different/looked awesome on your ride

 

Although these do have a retro look to them, I really liked the last pair

 

Very nice indeed!!

 

good looking

 

I like the overall look and the fact there is more sidewall, but with that much sidewall up front, it seems they should be skinnies
There wasn't a 17x10 option with a wider (just as tall tire) for a more muscular look?

 

Looks great Rich!

I am a little partial to the deep dishes, but that look you've got now is all about class!
