Just had some chrome bullits put on the stang and they turned out good. I had been reading a lot of about the offset issue and found these with 29.5 offset and I (my opinion) don't think they stick out any different. I used the same stock tires and just had the chrome wheels in 17x8 put on.

Read a lot of good info about the wheels/offset issue on this site and decided to see what the Chrome Bullits whould look like with a 17x8 and 29.5 offset. I was concerned they may stick out some, but I think they look about the same (just my opinion). I'll post some pics of the wheels on the car and down the sides looking front and back.

do you have any different angles, front and rear with the profile of the wheels showing?
do you also know if the pony emblems will fit?

The car looks great. I see you kept the OE tires. If you go wider you may have that stick out look.

Thanks for replies. Here's a link to the post I started after I just had the stripes done. This will give info:

http://forums.bradbarnett.net/index....opic=12585&hl=

The wheels are the same as those that fit 04's, etc. I did some looking and some were 24-25mm offset (i.e. Mach 1 wheels I think), and these were close to 30mm. A couple of the tire/wheel sites list 25mm as the minimum, so I figured I would check them out. The wheels were about $640 to the door.

Holy Smokes!!!!!!!!!! That is awesome man.
I love that look, especially how the tires go out a bit more than the stockers, but without sticking out the wells.
Seems 16mm out further than the stock wheels gives it a perfect look.
P.S. where did you find them, and how much for them.

Looks great, I'm having my rear between the taillights done on Monday.
What type of material did they use on yours?
And what color is it called.... it looks flat black to me.
Did they take off the fake gas cap then lay the material?
Thanks
