Just got them...now all I need is the darn car to see how they ride! It was so clear today with no clouds the rims actually look blue



They don't seem to bulge any....matter of fact im a little worried about curbs.



Next to my friends stocker...

You may want to call toyo and ask to make sure they dont. This size is not listed on there site so I didn't think they made it. They had 275/35 listed. It wasn't until I talked to the tire place I use for my company when I found out they have it in this size. I called toyo and confirmed it so thats why I ordered them. Kinda pricey but it was a direct cost to me

I like the yellow and pink stripe. Looks very retro, 1960ish.

are those just standard 18x9 bullits or are they deep dish, cause those have a deeper lip that I thought standard bullits would have? where did you purchase the rims from? those rims are just what I am looking for, looks great.

The stripes wont last long when I get the tires on a car

I have also noticed that about these rims vs. other ones I have seen. When I got these (6 months ago) the DD ones were not out yet. Someone was having a buy 3 get one free sale so I had to jump on it before the car was even ordered. Luckily it was these...there are another set that is similar but the lip isn't as big. That set has just the face of a cobra...not one coiled up!

I don't like the real deep lip on the front of the DD set for some reason. I might just have to see it in person but I already had these. The ones from mustang tuning I think are the same as these. Just look close at that center cap.

These were the other ones I was talking about...not as big of a lip... http://forums.bradbarnett.net/index.php?ac...e=post&id=23425

They make the 295/45-18 in the Toyo Proxes S/T. I got them for my car. I mounted them on 18x10 DD Bullitts. They look awsome.

Those look great. I was actually thinking about the Toyo's too when I ever do get new wheels and tires. Those are really good tires. I do see what you mean though about curbs... it looks like they don't have that rim protector lip that tires are starting to have these days. Just be real careful around curbs.

I kinda think that might have been them. I just saw a link on another site one day and ordered right then. I knew I wanted chrome bullitts

They say that there is a rim protector but its not a good one! I saw the T/S but that is not the same kind of tire as the T1R. Good size tho...
