I am either going with chrome deep dish 18X9" bullits from mustangtunning or the 06 cobra motorsports in 18X9.5 which has a perimeter bolt look. Tires will be 275/40/18 all around. Which do you guys think would look best on our black coupe?

Thanks for your input.

+1 vote for bullits. They look great when they're deep-dish. Especially chrome on a black stang. They'll be sweet.

Those cobra-style wheels look too busy imo with the fake bolts all around.

Bullits would be my choice. I just dont like the little bolt detail around the edge.

Go for the Cobras. Love those deep dish bullits, but so do a lot of folks. The Cobras will look great, and make your car stand out in the crowd.

I guess it depends if you want to go with a retro theme for the car or a modern one... I like the cobra wheel but not crazy about the bolt look.

Thanks guys, I will be ordering one of them next week. I like the perimeter bolt look of those 06 MS Cobras. I wish mustangtunning offered full tire and wheel packages fro the deep dish bullets. Would make things a lot easier.

Back when those Cobra wheels first came out, they only offered the perimeter bolts on the '94-'04 wheels and the '05+ wheels didn't have the bolts.
I'd check the offset on those wheels before you decide.

BTW, I'd go with the Cobra wheels if they are the right offset.

I'd go with Cobras, but not with that bolt pattern. On a black car I'd get black Cobras with the chrome edges. If the decision was between just these two wheels though, I'd get the deep dish bullitts.

Have to disagree with most of the opinions thus far.....I really like the Cobras WITH the non-factory style perimeter bolts, very unique 'cause everyone in their brother is going to be buying the 07 replica's without them. If they come with the right offset, go for it !!

JMO - Mark.
