Well I thought I was going to get the FR500 wheels, but they only come in 18X9. Then I saw I can save a few hundred dollars (need 2 instead of 4 tires) buy getting the 17X10.5 Bullit style, with a 315 tire.

i guess i have to disagree with everyone, i think the deep dish bullits look really cool, and would go well with the color of your car. bullits look a lot more tough and intimidating than the FR500's

If the outside of the car is staying stock, go with the bullitts, but whatever you do change the center cap... I may be blind, but looks like a GT to me

just a thought, plan on lowering any time soon? I think a 315 might cause a problem, depending on your setup. I would like some, but I dropped it too low. Have you checked into the irs bolt thing? My 97 doesn't have them, then again your rear end maybe totally different than mine. Good luck though. If you find jdetten, he has the same color gt, with polished 11" tt2's, and a 315 tire. If you can't find him, send me a pm, and I will see if I still have any pictures of his car, if your interested! chris

A friend of mine (are you out there JJ?) has a Sonic blue GT with 18"X10" Bullits, It Looks Bad A$$!
But, you don't see the FR500 all the time like you do the Bullits.

Bullits, you can get the bigger rubber on them, more traction.

You should have made this a "poll" thread.

I vote for the anthracite FR500's. Those will look absolutely KILLER with your car colour, especially if you lower it about 2 inches. Extra hotness if you put a Saleen wing on it, OMG!!! ORGASM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111111111

First of all you need the Fr500's, and with the color of that car you better get chrome b/c it would look so much better. God I love sonic blue!!!

Get chrome!!

fr500's

Heres a tip, when making a new thread like this, scroll down and click "make a poll" (or something like that), then it will have a poll where people can vote, easier to read data and you don't have to read a trillion results.
