I think the color is Atlantic blue. Below is a pic of the car. Hopefully the 17X9 will fit the back end nice.

I think black would be the better choice.

No. I got 17x9's, which I dont believe come in the deep dish. Looks like 17x10.5 is the start of the deep dish selection. Didnt want 315 for my V6.

Default update on new wheels and tires

Well the wheels and tires showed up today. They looked great except for the huge scratch on one of the wheels. It is scratched all the down to the metal. I called them about and need to call back during the day to talk some more with a manager. Needless to say I am not too happy now. Below is a quick pic of the problem.

Ouch, all of mine were pretty good except one of the DD's have a couple of tiny dents in the rim (less than 1mm big), I figured it wasn't a big enough of a deal to have to send it back and wait on a new one, since they'll probably get messed up anyway.

I think I live about 2 hours away. I think I will drive them down myself and pick up the new set if I can get a new one.

Just an update. American Muscle agreed that the wheels were damaged, so they will be send me a new wheel. I simply need to get the old tire and rim removed and the new one added. They will credit my CC for the install.

You are lucky. I just bought four new wheels and tires for my 2008 Bullitt because I was assured that the Anthracite color was the same as the factory. When I got them, they weren't even close!!! Customer service said I could try selling them on ebay because I couldn't return them EVEN THOUGH I AGREED TO PAY THE FREIGHT !!!!

Is this the color?


If so I'd go with chrome, color's too dark and flaky for black wheels.

i thought so too at first..but ive got dark window tint all the way around..and have my tail/head lights blacked, third brake light blacked, and my quarter panel rear turn signals blacked out..so i figure black might look decent..what do you think with all of that to go with the black wheels with chrome lip?
