I've got a 2006 Coupe w/Pony Package. The upgrades have already started. Got some Ford Racing K-Springs coming. Just ordered a set of 18 x 9 deep dish Bullitt wheels.


See picture attached. These are the wheels I have coming. I'm toying with the idea of the Nitto Red Line 18" tires also in the picture. Anyone have any experience with these or have pictures of these red line tires mounted to a Bullitt style wheel? I think they may make my car look like a full size Hot Wheel car though.

I'll most likely go with regular blackwall tires.
What do you guys & girls think?

I think those rims would look great on your car ... I'm not so sure about the red line tires. Maybe someone could photochop some on to your car for you

I heard you can't upgrade a braking system with bullitts even if you go with 20's, so keep that in mind if you want to do a brake package one day.

Depends on what you want to upgrade with, but I believe the problem is larger calipers. The back of the wheel hits some larger calipers, and this can be overcome with spacers.


As always, do your homework.

I think the wheels and tires would look pretty good together.

Wheels: Yes!
Redlines: Not feeling them with a Legend Lime stang.

I feel that that work with black, not so sure about LL. This is my car, and I've gotten the Hotwheels comments before.

Yeah, I agree. Love the wheels, but not crazy about the red lines.

Well, I went with 255/45-18 Nexen N3000 black wall tires. Got the set for just under $450 shipped. I will have these on Friday.


The 18 x 9 deep dish Bullitt wheels (see first post) are on sale at American Muscle for $125 each, shipped. I will have those tomorrow. So the whole wheel/tire package cost me just under $950, a pretty good price I believe.
Final touch will be Mustang pony center caps. I wonder if the caps from the factory wheels will fit the new wheels? Wheel see.

I may have these mounted this weekend, will post pics then.

That sounds real nice. Post pics once there on.
I have a LL also and I'm torn between Anthracite and black bullits.

I agree with your decision I wasnt feeling the red lines with your LL

OK, here are a couple shots from this morning. Got the Mustang Tuning 18 x 9 deep dish Anthracite Bullitts on there along with the 255/45-18 Nexen tires. Looks pretty sweet to me.

Next mod: The rear spoiler will take a hike. LOL

Well it's good that I live far enough away because those pics are all I needed to pull the trigger. Good luck with you car and thanks for the pics.

That turned out really nice!

I like it but not w/ the lime. If YOU like it get it! Make yourself happy my man, that's what life is about.

Post pictures when you pull the trigger.
