I'm more of a fan of thicker spokes on an 05. Thin 5 spoke wheels remind me of imports. Those still look good though.

Btw, how much do the stock 17" bullitts weigh?

Stock bullitts weight something like 21 or 22 pounds.

I like the 5 star design on mustangs, but they look pretty run-of-the-mill. Nothing special. I do think they would look good on an import. They're definitely not ugly though, I guess I'd have to see them on one

I don't understand why everyone wants to change their rims. I think the stock Torq Thrust D style rims are the best looking on the new mustang. Do the stock rims really suck?

Well, not everyone got that style rim stock. There are threee different kinds. The stock rims don't suck, they just might not be that person's style.

They look a lot like the Roush "Stallion" wheel for the SN95's. That's not a bad thing- those Roush's were sweet.

I'd like to try the silver (painted) bullitts on my GT. But i'm afraid with my car being silver, that would be to much silver.

The stockers are 17x8's that's not wide enough for most.

Wider tires = Bigger Contact Patch = More Traction = Better Times
