I'd like to say it looks cool, but in the back of my mind, it only confirms my suspicion that the '05-'09 GT wheels looked like they were pirated from a minivan.

Looks good. They're also similar to the Focus wheels. My dad took my stock Bullitts from my 05 and put them on his Ranger. Looked good with spacers.

Not a "bolt-on"

Guess I should mention that the Mustang Wheels don't bolt on directly to the Dodge. The center hub bore on the wheels had to be opened up by .03.

Looks pretty cool to me. I put my factory silver bullit wheels (w/Pirelli's) on my Jeep Grand Cherokee last fall. I had to open my wheels up a little bit too.

Works for me.

I opened the bore diameter up with a bore bar on a milling machine.

Before I moved into management many years ago, I was a machinist.

It must be nice to have access to that kind of equipment (jelous) I had to use a drum sander attachment in a die drinder. Not as good as a milling machine for sure but it worked great and the wheels all balance fine.
