Need help making decision

Hey guys

Since I need new tires Ford here in the bay area has buy 3 get one free which would come out to 340 or so installed. I can go with that to replace my worn out tires or this guy is selling his fan blades with 7/10 tread left for 400 dollars. I really like my wheels but i don't know I also like the fan blades. What would you guys do?

Well, *I* would get black bullitts and then get the tires as described. But you really didn't ask for that as an answer...

The decision is yours. Which of the wheels do you like better? Then do that. It's that simple.

However, since you want my opinion on just those two... No question. I'm buying tires. I never liked fanblades.

I added fanblades to my collection back with my 06 LL Vert. I like them. They went with the car when I sold it. On my 08 I had my bullets painted black. For your questin, if you like the fanblades I'd go that route, you'll still have an extra set of wheels for whaterver comes up, sale, winter tires, trade, who knows. All for the price of just rubber you need anyway.

Actually my first pick would be black bullets but I dont really want to spend money on new rims. How much would it cost to spend the money on painting my bullets black? Thanks!

You'd just have to check around. My friend did mine for $200, I'm guess most shops might not be that low, but you never know.
Get what you want though, be happy!

I ended up getting the Blades which also had BFGoodrich KDW tires which look real meaty. I think i made a good choice. I'll post some pics of the car with the new wheels. Thanks for the help guys!
