Well they LOOK nice, but I dont know about the quality.

Yep. And they don't come with center caps but the chrome rim ring is a nice contrast with the wheel itself. Still would be nice if someone has bought these b4.

not too bad for a replica bullitt wheel, but i would probably spin the extra $$$ for 18x9 or so. 17's in my opinion are not the greatest, i like the the look of the 18 inch rims and the wideness, the wideness will give you better grip and performance, 18 could slow your car down maybe .1 sec or so but hey looks can defeat performance at times. you don't always gotta use those wheels for racing anywayz

UPDATE: Bought the rims in that link. They look great on the car and great quality. Between that and the cross-drilled/slotted rotors and pads deal I found on ebay..not to shabbbby .

What did you use for center caps?

 

[Pokageek]

It comes with center caps on it that say "keystone" in yellow. It looked real clean so I kept them on.

Wheels look good. I'd get some different center caps with just black and silver for any text or graphics tho.

BTW, what do you think of the "T" handle on your shifter? I would think it would be difficult for quick 2-3 shifts.

That is a wicked awesome color scheme you have going on there!!!

At first I was going to get new centers but I decided I like them. I know, personal taste. The "T" handle shifter is awesome. I can shift much better with it in any gear myself. Then again, my trans gets me back when I get on it real hard. It doesn't want to go into any gear sometimes after I burn serious rubber through the gears. So I am going to take it easy with it until I rebuild it. It's weird. I am so far along but have so much more to do!
