Ford Racing 18 Chrome Bullets
After 15,000 fun miles it was time for a new set of meat. I have been scouring eBay, Craigslist, and the for sale forums for a deal for about 6 weeks now. Low and behold I see a set of Ford Racing 18 Chrome Bullets with Toyo Proxes T1-R rubber go up on eBay. The auction started at $1000, was not listed/described well, was for local pickup only, and the seller had zero feedback. I took a chance and offered him $1,100 to end the auction early.
On Friday, a friend of mine accompanied me on a road trip from Dallas to Houston. The transaction went off without a hitch. The wheels are virtually brand new, the tires still had the rubber hairs on them and have less than 500 miles. The guy bought the tires/wheels for his 05 to try and breathe some life into it, and a few weeks later traded it on a Vette. He obviously just wanted these things gone.
I cant believe I have these wheels, the Ford 18 bullet is my favorite but I never was a huge fan of polished aluminum. I have been drooling over the Ford Racing 18 Chrome Bullets since I first saw them but I would never drop that kind of coin on simply changing the finish of the wheel. I cant quite describe the difference, so Ill let the pictures do the rest of the talking!
