Wish they were machined but If I don't go with 18inch deep dish black bullitt's I'm going with these.

Hopefully I can pop a ford centercap in there...
I love how bmw centercaps fit in any wheel....

Edit: BTW I've never owned a bmw... or a forin car.... see I can't even spell "4in".

The new Explorer offers a "Fan Blade" style wheel. Looks very much like the show car wheel. Not sure what Ford is thinking?

Makes sense to me.....keep common design cues through the brands. That and rims like the fanblades seem to be in style nowadays.

The fanblade look looks cheap IMO . Brings down the value of the car for me for some reason .. I am a classic deep-dish rim kinda guy myself.. Muscle look all the way all the time..

Is there somebody out there right now making the deep dish bullitts for the '05?

Will have to disagree with you on this. One of the big beefs about the optional 05' wheel is that it looks like it should be on a truck. I don't want to be at a stop light & look at the Explorer next to me with the same wheels.

I have the bullits & love them. Waiting for an 18" deep dish.
