Deep Dish Back & Non-DD In Front???

Does anybody think that having deep dish bullitts in the back and non deep dish in the front looks funny or odd?? In either chrome or black. Just not having deep dish all the way around looks odd to me but I know a lot of people that have just DD in the back and regular bullitts up front. The reason I ask is because I found a good deal on brand new black bullitts with 18x9 regular bullitts up front and 18x10.5 deep dish bullitts in the rear. Not sure if anyone has gotten 18x10.5's in the back yet. Will all theses bolt right on a 05 V6 without having to change anything (rotors) or adding spacers? Also anyone have any input on Goodyear F1 Supercar tires? Here's the link to the wheels on Ebay.

DD in the front look odd to me. DD in the rear only gives the car a much better stance, IMO.

I used to not like Deepdish fronts, until I bought my car and saw them in person. Honestly I could go either way about the front dish, but rears must be deepdish.

May I suggest a comparison...

I asked about getting regular bullits in a wider rim for the rear but no one makes them. Now that I think about it, the rears look awesome in deep dish while having regulars up front. This is what I'm gonna do. ****,this forum costs me so much $$$

DevilR6 I had asked for some more pics from an Ebay seller of some wheels and tires he has for sale. I think the member name is cleaning out the garage. He sent me a picture of your car. Did you order your wheels from Ebay from that seller?

Haha. Very possible. The seller does have an EBay store if I recall correctly, I'm gonna check it out now!

EDIT: Didn't find the picture of my car, but either way. Pretty sweet!

Hey devil. Here is the picture he sent me. I'm pretty sure it is your car because I looked at the background and the surrounding houses. These are the wheels I plan on getting. Are yours 18x9 in front and 18x10.5 in back? I didn't know they made 18x10.5 bullitts just 18x10. The tires he puts on them are Goodyear F1 Supercar, 255/45/18 for the front and 285/40/18 for the rear. Anyways the wheels and tires package is only $995. Figured it's a good deal so I'm going to buy them.

Yep. That would be my car and that would be the right price. I had a very good experience with the seller and of course, I think the wheels look great!

XxDevilR6xX,

Is your rear wheel size in back 18x10.5? I have not seen these before in that size with the correct offset....as so the wheels won't extend out past the rear fenders?

Yes sir, that is correct. They also do not extend past the rear fenders, they are perfectly aligned.

hmm, I'm torn on the deep dishes...the depth is nice, but at the same time, they make the spokes look much shorter than the standard wheels

Man, those tips are fine and dandy, but it kinda defeats the purpose of driving a muscle car in the first place!
