CS69's vs. 18" bullitts

Thinking of swapping out my 18" polished aluminum bullitts for 18" X 9.5" CS69's in black.
Seeking opinions as to which looks better. The bullitts pic is how she looks now, 69 pic is a chop (thanks xenon!).

The polished wheels look great on that Vista Stang.

I like both but I'm partial to the bullits.

Keep the Bullitt's. I like the Shelby's too but they're not much of an appearance upgrade over the polished Bullitt's.

I have the polished Bullitts too but I lust after the CS69s. After looking closer at your car I think that the Bullitts stand out more. If you plan on upgrading to large brakes then the CS69s are the way to go.

Thanks for all the feedback guys. If I do the 69's, bigger brakes are part of the plan.

The Bullitts, I think, are a fantastic looking wheel for the Mustang. The black CS69's put me in mind of the old Magnum 500s, which look great as well. Really, either of these wheels will look fantastic, and if you're considering a brake upgrade, then I think the CS69s are pretty well a no-brainer.

Does anyone have a picture of a car with 18 inch CS69s that aren't a photochop?

Unfortunately all of the pics of 69s on the Carroll Shelby website are of 20's. Here are a couple of pics of a VB GT500 with chrome 18" 69s sent to me buy a guy in Texas. Also one (a member of this forum I believe) of the 18" hyperblack (anthracite) on a red GT. I have been unable to locate an 18" black on a vehicle, thus the photochop.
