Nothing looks better on a Mustang than a Bullit-style wheel. Enough said.

Samckerman,

Are those replicas of the new Cobra rims?? If so, do you have any more pictures?

I've been drooling over a set on Ebay.

I just ordered an 06 triple black gt (hence the name) and can't agree more- I went with the 18" polished bullitts - especially on triple black - it should be sweet - cant wait to get it!!! I will post pics as soon as I do.

Yep, they're the Cobra replicas. Here's a pic that I posted on allfordmustangs:

I like the Cobra style wheels, but I'd need to see them on an '05 first. At least a good photochop.
As for being like every wheel out there, I'm all for being a little different. That being said, think how many Mustangs out there have Bullitt's. Now think how popular they'll be once they're offered in 18's and polished (silver) for the '06.
If you want to be different, stay away from Bullitt's.

Front tires are 255/45-18 Dunlop SP9000

Rear tires are 285/40-18 Dunlop SP9000

Wheels are 18 X 9.5

50mm offset

I got them from bonesenterprises.com. I understand you can get them from lmpreformance as well.

I paid 199.99 each.

I'm really happy with them. They make an already fabulous looking car just plain awesome.

I agree! stay with the bullitts. If your car is black I would suggest the 18 inch black bullitts. IMO it would look sweet. If your car is another color I would go with either the polished bullitts or the polished shelby replicas.
