why? Just curious.2rjs said:Does anyone know the wieght of 17x9 and 17x10.5 bullitt wheels?
I'd been wanting to go with the 17x10.5's on the rear of my car but then I got to thinking about the rotational weight thing. Since I didn't know the weight of the bullitts I thought I'd ask and see if any of you guys knew and then start looking for lighter options.300bhp/ton said:why? Just curious.

CaliLifeStyle, thanks for the list
2rjs said:I notice in your sig that you have 17x10.5 non-deep dish bullitts. I've never seen these. Do they fill out the fender wells as well as the deep dish version? Is there any pros or cons to either or?
2rjs said:Wow, I think those look better than the deep dish! Where did you get them?
CaliLifeStyle said:As you can see the 17x10.5 wheels are actually lighter than the stock 17x8. However, don't forget the weight of the tire. That would make them heavier than stock with a tire.
GT JAY said:The if the after market 10.5's and 17x9's are lighter than stock, the wheels have to be made of a tifferent type of metal/aluminum.
Unless specified they are probably using cheaper materials - hence the weight difference. This means that they may not look so good in 10 years time (more corrosion) and/or when running an ultra low profile tyre they may be prone to buckling more easy than stock rims.CaliLifeStyle said:Possible. Maybe the replica wheels use a different type of aluminum. Or maybe thinner material than stock. Maybe the stock wheel has to meet some requirements which make them heavier. Who knows?
I wouldn't worry too much, unless going for a totally stripped out race car the weight saving will not affect performance. And in terms of handling, well I don't think the Mustang suspension is really delicate enough to make any odds what wheels you run, unless you are going from one extreme to another (305/45R18 compared to a 215/50R15).2rjs said:I'd been wanting to go with the 17x10.5's on the rear of my car but then I got to thinking about the rotational weight thing.

pdl2flr said:I would not worry too much about this unless your counting every pound. I looked into this quite a bit before purchasing my 10.5" bullitts, and while a few stated they could notice the extra weight, the vast majority stated they did not notice a difference (for the worse) and everyone stated the car rode as good or better than stock. I should have mine on by this weekend.
