I would say fanblades just because they are one of those rims that are 100% better in person than in the pictures and i think they would look sharp with the blue

The fanblades remind me of the ralley wheels on the GTO.
They are sort of similar............ They ARE both rims

Honestly, they look nothing alike.

There are several reasons I personally chose the blades over the bullitts...

- Asthetically, the large bulky S197's need a rim that has a lot of weight to it. It gives it a very powerful look. The spokes of the bullitt rims are too thin for my tastes. I see them as more "ornamental" versus tough.
- The rim is entirely new and cannot be found on previous generations of mustangs.
- I love the redfire showcar and have always wanted to replicate it with my own

Also, if you have not seen the blades in person, especially with pony centercaps you should take a look. For some reason the rims lose all their features when photographed.

Please. They bear some similarities beyond both being rims:

Been argued to death elsewhere.

Yes, I agree they have a few minor similarities, but IMO they aren't really similar.
Same with the rims on the old Jetta (last year of the old model). They look similar to the fanblades, but they are not the same style (they just share the general five thick spokes).

I notice two new trends in the auto industry for rims.... First, double spokes (like the upgrade rims). Bimmers have them, the new Ferrari etc. etc.. And, there are a lot of "Fanblade-like" thicker spoked rims.

Just like fashion, the rim industry goest though stages as well.

Anyway, long story short, the GTO rim is just one of a host of rims that are somewhat similar to the fanblades due primarily to the new generation of rim designs.

I think the new deep dish Bullitts look better than the stock Bullitts.

Scott, your bullitts definately look great especially with the car dropped like that Good job.

And remember, regardless of what I think, everyone has different tastes on rims..... "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"

To be a better poll, include all the wheel options. This is like "Do you still beat your wife?" All available OEM wheels shouild have been included.

I think the poll starter wanted to put 18" rims on his car and wants to decided between the two only.

I agree. There are a number of great looking wheels for the 05. The most important thing is that people choose the look they like.
