Opinions Please
 
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.

Go chrome

Lances03SVT 12-10-2006 02:55 PM

I like the black but chrome does look good..........

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-ass 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.

Lances03SVT 12-10-2006 04:12 PM

I'm pretty sure they are normal bullit's but I will ask him for you.

Now your making sense!!! :Woot:

They would look awesome on your's for sure!

03gtmustang 12-10-2006 04:15 PM

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

There was a few guy's on SVT that are selling thier Chrome Rebel's for a good price.

03gtmustang 12-10-2006 04:31 PM

Do they make 17x8 Chrome FR500?

I'm not sure.I think maybe the FRRP ones are.

Lances03SVT 12-10-2006 05:07 PM

Nope they are 18x9's.

whitethunder46 12-10-2006 05:33 PM

Well AR Rebel only come's in 17x9 and larger and Motegi's are 18's.

03gtmustang 12-10-2006 06:01 PM

Yeah those are nice. Little too expensive for me though. Im not looking to spend more then $650. Im really leaning towards the Bullitts.

Nope.Mine are 18x9 and 18x10's.You can get them in the same size in chrome.

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.

03gtmustang 12-10-2006 06:22 PM

Yeah, I need 17x8's and 17x10.5's.
