I REALLY like the Black 18 inch Bullitts of the Black Shelby GTs... I have the 18 inch polished on my 07 Grabber Orange, and I thought I'd never want to replace them... but I really think they would look great on my car... and I could probably sell my polished wheels for about the same price as the black ones... Here's a pic of them:

What do you think???

Probably would look good, but I love the wheels you have. I think they really set off the color.

Those would look great on your car. That is exactly what I want to do on mine.

Represent for the FR500s!

Or you could try the Magnum 500s on your car that would probably be nice and retro

I actually prefer the chrome wheels on the black Shelbys. My opinion. I also love the fanblades. I think your wheels are great as they are. I would spend the money on some other upgrade.

You might want to give the Torq Thrusts a look. Same styling but with a deeper lip. (I'm a bit prejudiced though )

That's one thing I don't want, deep dish. I like the stock type black bullitts pictured.

Click to expand...

The picture of the American Racing Black Torqs are 18 X 10. If you get the 18 X 9 you won't get the deep dish but will still be able to put a better tire on your car, size wise. I think the 18 X 9 will accomadate a Nitto 285 tire width...something you won't get on a 18 X 8.5 wheel from Ford.

And the American Racing are much nicer than the Ford OEM ones at like half the price!!!

Yeah, I'm just set on the Ford Wheels. I like the center cap and knowing their Ford wheels.

i REALLY like thos rims!!!

My stang is black and I wanted to get black rims with a chrome accent to them.

I had 20's on my Ford Fusion. I am going to sell those first and use that $ to buy new stang rims.

Anyone ever ship rims? What does the cost usually go for with rims/tire combo?

Another reason I'd like to go with the Ford wheels is I want to reuse my stock tires. They're brand new, and I 8.5 will fit 275's in the future.... And I just don't like deep dish wheels on the front, either. Back is fine, but not front.
