My only concern is that the spokes might look very 2D in person to accomplish this.......

these wheels will stick out more than stock, about 9/10ths of an inch, but there is enough fender room i believe so that it is still tucked in it will be close.

As for the spokes being flat, Dan is problably right, the 05 stock bullitts look flatter than the stockers from years past, and to accomplish this small a distance from the hub to outside of the wheel with a deep dish, and have the bullitt type spoke, they likely had to flatten the spoke a little.

Just as an observation - these look almost identical to the wheels i bought from Mustang Tuning except that mine weren't deep dish. And if the pic is correct, the spokes look the same as what I have.

And my wheels are definitely not as flat as the stock 05 bullitts - they are rounder, more like the bullitts on the 04s and 03s....

Like them much better than stock.....

Just what I've been waiting for except, if you notice they only sell them in a set of 4....
I'm not looking for deep's in the front...
Just in the back.

Well this is ahead of schedule but I went ahead and ordered a set of 4. You can't beat the price (free shipping) and these are the best looking wheel's for my "theme". I'll post up some close up pic's from different angles so you can all get a good look... I have to go now and start figuring out how to sleep in the car... Now I have to hunt for the perfect tire's. Thinking BF-Goodrich G-Force T/A KDW 2's 255/45/18 front and 285/40/18's out back??? :scratch:

Vegasguy,

Your something else. LOVE your car, but I've gotta ask, what do you do for a living ? You've got to have more in that Awesome Stang than I paid for my 1st house.

I can't wait to see the installed pics, may have to enlarge it and post on my office walls

YES!!
Finally they did it, I'm sure they shaved the inside of the spoke (hollow) to make space, but I have no doubt it'll have a fat nice look.
And at 36 offset on a 9" rim It will be my ideal size for my preferance, so this rim has hit a homerun in my book. And for $659.99 for all 4 it's not too shabby at all.

I've never been this bad about anything in my life! I swear this car is making a lunatic out of me... :crazy: To answer your question I am a union crane operator, working in the fastest growing city in the country. Plus I have no kid's, well except for my pony and bike... That help's.

Yah, I have to agree, 18's are as big as I will go. The 20's just don't fit with the oldschool muscle car theme IMO...
