I need to change the size of my rims. I want deep dishes in the rear and I need 17x8's up front because my 17x9's rub on my a arms. I was just going to go with black bullitts again, but what do you think about chrome bullitts instead? Heres a picture of the car...

black bullitts + black mustang = overplayed.

everyone with a black mustang has black bullitts. change it up and do something different.

I like chrome too. However, I've never been a fan of the chrome bullet's. It's too much wheel for chrome, imo. Those AR Rebel's or Motegi touge chrome rims might look hawt.

As a owner of a black car with black rims, I don't really agree. Sure, you see the combo a lot on the forums, but not on the road. Though, it is a lot mopre prevelant now then 3 years ago when I first put them on.

I used to think black stangs with chrome was the best and it is always a good choice. Either way, the car will look great. just be sure to go DD in the rear.

I was in LA last week and I can tell you there are a lot of idiot stang owners out there with no taste in rims. I saw one awful combo after the next and all being driven by foreigners. Now, it is not that I have anything against an "out of towner" they just have zero appreciation for how an American muscle car icon should look. Some of these dumb-*** mustangs had rims that looked like they belonged on a Pathfinder and some looked like they came out of a 2FTF movie.

I agree with Blake too.Yes you see them online alot but I hardly ever see them on the street.There is only one I know of even close to me and they liked how they looked on my GT so I told them where to get them.The reason you see them online is because THEY LOOK DAMN GOOD!

I agree with that. The big spokes too look kinda goofy in chrome depending on the angle. I love the way my car looks, but I think there are a lot of cars with the same combo. I also hate to get the same wheels, just different size. If Im going to spend the money then I want something different.

Can anyone recommend a Chrome wheel (17x10.5 and 17x8) that I can get for under $650? I DO NOT WANT ANY SVT RIMS.

Lance, do you know what kind of rims are on that Cobra? They look different then the normal Bullitts.

Its probably just the angle. They look goofy in some pictures, but awesome in others. I really like the chrome 03 cobra rims, but I dont want any more cobra stuff on my car.

I like these, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/AFS-M...63913656QQrdZ1

Yea, that's what i mean.

He wanted 17's though I thought. If that's the case, they only make a 17x9 AR Rebel Chrome and only 18's in chrome for Motegi.
