Deep dish Bullits

The deep dish Bullitts will only match the darker, stock Bullitt rim colour (03's and 04's). Otherwise, you are out of luck unless you can live with the colour difference. I'm in the same boat as you (I have an '02 with the light Bullitts). You could also buy a set of 4 rims, and have the darker colour all around, including the deep dish rims.
 
If you have an 03/04 you are good to go.

If you have an 01/02, the color will be way off.

Either way, they aftermarket wheels don't directly match OEM wheels. The aftermarkets have a high polish lip and the shape of the hub is different
 
Here's the difference

Replica vs 01/02 wheel

I have the 17x10.5 anthracites and the stock oem wheels up front.. they match pretty perfectly (my car is an 03). The hubs are slightly different, to me it looks like it blends more with the "spokes" if you wanna call them that. Nobody will notice though.. not a single person has said anything to me, they're too busy looking at the dish lol. The color matches fine, just wish the OEM's lip was more shiney :)

The newer 03/04 bullitts match DSG pefectly. It's almost like if you have an DSG car you NEED to do a antracite bullitt.

The 01/02 bullitts just don't have the same look to them :shrug:

*humps csledd's leg* :drool:

An amazing photographer you are. How much would I have to pay you to fly to DFW, TX and photograph my car like that?!

Seriously...you have a very professional level of photography. Do you work for any publishers/magazines or is it all individual?

heh, pay for all my travel expensives and give me some extra money on the side and it's a deal ;) I love Texas.

But actually, I don't work for anyone doing photography.. I hope to someday though :)

My friend got some anthracite DD's for his car, and noticed the polish difference too. We ended up doing alot of cleaning on his front rims because of a little bit of that rim cancer that develops, and now they look just as shiny as his rears. We had to do a small ammount of sanding to get rid of the crud, and then a TON of Nev-R-Dull. They almost shine better than his DD's now!
