I got these new wheels off of ebay for $514 shipped made by wheel replicas. 18x9 36mm offset..I'm now waiting for my bfgoodrich kdw2's in 255/45's to come in. I've been contemplating a lot about rims and performance..I weighed these at a ups store today and they are 22lbs. each..stock 17 bullits are 21.6 so I won't really sacrifice performance..the kdw2's weigh 29lbs compare to stock pirelli's at 28 lbs. so overall will be 1.4 bls.. heavier per wheel than stock..not too shabby..I can' t wait to get them on..will post pics when on.

 

 

can't wait to see these on your car. Those (from what I see) are not the deep dish are they? Looks nice, now get those tires.

 

They are not deep dish. I like the lip on these though..I think it looks perfect. deeper than I though when I got them.. few reason i didn't go with the deep dish...1.have to use spacers(I know they are small but still would rather go without)2. they weigh close to 26 lbs. each..I want to keep my car quick in every day driving and still have sweet lookin 18's. In the future probably gonna get some drag radials for the stock bullits to swap on while i'm at the track.

 

I like the wheels you chose, and I am not a fan of the deep dish either! I am very anxious to see them on your car, as my car is silver as well.

 

i like those alot.. the lip and the fact they are painted

 

Cant wait to see the difference, I have been thinking about upgrading to these or the FR500's in 18s at some point.

Are they an exact match to the factory bullit color?

 

I would say they are a tad darker than the stocks. up close they seam to have a richer color. I bought my tires from onlinetires.com..hope they don't take too long!

 

I just bought a set off of Ebay too. I got them for $458 shipped. I got the 18x9's too, except I got black. I really wanted tho get the deep dish 10's but didn't want to deal with the spacers either.

 

These are the wheels I would want. They look like the ones on Burke0011's ride. Perfect lip... not too shallow and not too deep. I'd also want to get 255/45 rubber all the way around, so very interested to see pics when they are installed.

Nice choice. And that's a good deal too. These are $580 shipped on mustangtuning.com and that's the cheapest I had seen. Did you purchase these from an individual or a company selling via eBay?

 

The seller is wheelindex. He sells a lot of wheels on ebay. He has 99.9% positive feedback or something. Yeah.. you can't beat the price.

 

Cool, thanks for the info. I'll look them up if I ever do get wheels.

 

Yeah their website is www.wheelreplicas.com
They are in Katy, Texas and when I went to a local discount tire they said thats who they order all theirs thru and very good quality.

 

The wheels from mustangtuning.com are actually from wheelreplicas. I guess you save a little money going straight to the source, eh?

 

You guys sure about the wheels from mustangtuning.com being made by wheel replicas? My wife ordered a set of the anthracite 18x9/18x10 for me, and the 18x10 are on back order until the end of November I called wheel replicas just a few minutes ago, and they said they don't make an anthracite 18x10 but will soon

 

I had sent the guy at mustangtuning an e-mail a while back, and he said some of the bullitt wheels were from wheelreplicas. Another company makes the deep dish bullitts, I believe. I think wheelreplicas makes these wheels here though.

 

Ah, and the light comes on...thanks Ian!

 

Anytime!

 

I called wheel replicas before I bought these and they don't make the deep dish bullits for mustangtuning and they were suprised that mustangtuning sold deep dish for the 05 cause he said they don't make any yet for the 05.I wonder whoever makes the deep dish actually made it for the 05 since you hae to use spacers. it's interesting thought..I called mustang tuning and asked about the non-deep dish bullits 18x9's and they said they were made by wheel replicas and they also told me they weighed 25lbs. I called wheelindex before i bought the rims off ebay and he said they were from wheel replicas and that they weigh 22lbs. and he was right cause i weighed them at UPS.

 

No tires yet????
