I love the chrome 18" bullitts. I thought long and hard between those and the blades before I ordered....

Looks good, she's got to relax her eyebrows a bit too. Sorry to critique your stepdaughter but with her eyebrows raised it puts wrinkles on her forehead and gives her that startled look. I bet she doesn't realize she's doing it since so many people do that when they smile. Your car looks good too.

Thanks for the comments and the honest, helpful critique. I will pass this along to her.

I'd try to move this business to a lounge or general thread, but the voting ends either tonight or tomorrow and one of the other girls is killing her in the voting. Go to stangsunleashed.com and read the thread started there by one of the other contestants and you'll soon see why this is happening. I'd just as soon the magazine threw the whole vote for ALL of them out (my stepdaughter included), and start all over again. Only next time, make sure that the problems that occurred this time cannot happen again.

Thanks for the comments on the car, too!

I hate to be adding off topic threads but this should be posted elsewhere.

Give me a few days and I'll have this topic back on track. I've had my car for one year and 7,000 miles and it's already had four different sets of wheels on it with a fifth coming shortly.

These are the wheels we put on the wife's 2006 GT 'vert. The intent should be pretty obvious to any Mustang buffs, we wanted an updated and larger version of the MagStars that were offered on the late 60's Shelby's. We don't have any static photos yes, all we have are the KillBoy pictures from our Tail of the Dragon trip last year. The windows between the spokes have since been opened up to allow create more negative space and show off the brakes. Right now they're shod in 255/40 Bridgestone Potenza RE050's (Fan-freakin'-tastic tire). Once these are worn down we'll fatten it up to the 285/35's now that I've verified that they won't rub in front. The center caps are missing in this picture because they weren't in our posession at the time it was shot. They're not sporting a set of OEM Pony centercaps.



They are Wheel Vintiques Marodders w/ a slight design change to accomodate an 18" wheel. The only picture of these on the WV website is a 17" rim. For structural reasons they had to make the spokes a little fatter on the larger wheel. These were one-offs, as far as I know this is the only set of 18's they ever made, and the only set with correct backspacing for an S197 car.

Could you list your tire sizes along with your wheel offsets. Thats a great set up!
The blue oval caps is a nice touch as well.

I originally had the 17" bullitts then went to the OEM 18" polished bullitts. I then got a set of fanblades (no pics of these). I got rid of those and went back to the 17's. This summer I got a set of Foose Nitrous 20x8.5 fronts and 20x10 rears with Nitto NT555's 245/40 front and 275/35 in the back. The Foose wheels are for sale in case anyone is interested
