Help me choose some wheels!!!

You know what my car looks like, balck with red stripes. Currently I have the 17" factory wheels (non-bullitt). These are my options
1. Steeda pentar

2. GT4

3. Ford black Bullitt


I am open to other options, but something along these lines.
The bullitts and GT4's will be around $1000 with tires, and the pentars around $1600.

Taking into consideration cost/looks etc I would say

1) Bullits
2) Pentars
3) GT4

The pentars are awesome but I love the bullit wheel look on the S197. Plus you have 600 bucks to spend on other stuff to make your car look even more sinister.

Well, Discount Tire has these 68 wheels that I got in black for a very reasonable price. I was thinking about them myself. They also have them in 18 inch size, I'm not sure what size you want? I have them in polished and have been happy with them. Here's a link and a couple of pics.

Maybe something to think about.....

Otherwise I would go with the Ford black bullits...

I say GT4, but I'm actually kind of partial to the FR500 replicas you can get now.

How about the black chrome bullitts that JedCranium has on his car? I really love the way those look on a black car.

Those wheels do look very good, but I dont like all those ridges on the lip. Notice the wheels I posted have no ridges, this is why I am considering the Ford black bullitts, instead of the ones AmericanMuscle offer.

steeda has to much black, I'd go with the bullits, then the gt4's.



Or just get FR500's!

Thanks!
I also ran the third wheel on my 06'GT. I wish the DD"s came in an 8"/8.5" wide for the front (or all fours if you like same size set).But then they prolly wouldn't look like a dd wheel.

You win Molo, I think I'm going to go with the black chrome FR500's. If I get 18x9 all around, will two wheels come with deeper lip?
