You are the first person to say in your opinion that they are rice. I've heard biased opinions on them but to each their own.

I like them. But not my first choice.

I personally like them. Still undecided between FR500 and Bullitts though.

I was in the same situation, I chose black bullitts due to their availability. FR500s were on back order. FR500s are going to be the nice bullitts wheel (popularity wise) You will be seeing them everywhere.

i've seen them a few times in person and i was considering picking up a set to replace my 00R's, but decided i didn't need another set of wheels clogging up the garage.

they're not bad looking, hardly rice.

I've loved the rims since I saw them on the orgional FR500 car. I plan on picking up a set to replace my OEM 03' cobras. I love the bullits as well but they are everywhere. It's hard to make a mustang stand out these days

I was looking at the pictures of the anthracite ones and the front ones dont match the deep dishes. Theyre like two different shades. I could be wrong and it might be the lighting, so Im not sure.

Its the lighting I'm sure.Look at the Black Bullet pics of the 18x9 and 18x10 and they look different too,but they are the same.

They look ok. I prefer the bullitt rims because I think they look very similar to the old style Cragar 5 spoke rims that were so dominate in the 70's and 80's. I can remember when it used to be Keystone vs. Cragar with most peoples cars as far as looks were concerned. you didnt have many other choices for aftermarket rims.

I dont think its rice either, the rice ones have alot of spokes in a fanned out pattern.
