After months of saving and consideration I've narrowed it down to 3 wheel types and need your help! I can not decide for the life of me between;

1) 20 in black bullitts staggered ofcourse


,2) 20 in Saleen extreme wheels chrome staggered but not deep dish


3) the upcoming 20 inch 7 spoke saleen wheels all black!


Option number 2 will cost about 400 more than the other 2.
and they will be going on this



keep in mind the car now has this hood and decklid blackout thing

Out of those three I would have to think #2 would be nice on your car.

I would personally go with #1, or #3, and cross number 2 off of the list entirely. And your car looks pretty good.

I would go with 3 only because 2 has too much space between the spokes and if you put 1 on you are pretty much doing the same wheel. I think a 4th option would be #1 with no silver outer rim.

My vote would be #3.

I'm partial to black wheels though. I've seen the chrome version of these on a saleen and they look great.

Lower it first, you might like the wheels that came on it. (#1 has my vote if you change out)

Id go with numbler 1. I love the black rim. But the saleen extremes would look nice too. I dont like the new 7 spoke at all. But thats just me

If I can get on the pre order list ill be going with #3. I'd like to lower the car with K springs but I don't want the hassle of it always going out of alignment. I have the roush rears waiting for wheels to even the car out. Ill probaly end up painting the polished bullitts white and swap out every now and then. Thanx for the feedback guys!

I would say #2... But its a lot like the wheels your car came with.
Its definitely a change, but not much.
I would say #3, Im a fan of black wheels.
#1 would look badass with the deep dish in back, when its staggered it looks really good.
I have that style of rim on my car, but in chrome.
If I ever change my rims, Im going to get #1.

But for yours, #3.

good luck.

#1 if you plan on keeping the stock brake rotors. If you upgrade, then #2 will look good.

#1 as she sits now...
#3, but may overpower the car in its current state. Agent 47 side mirrors and some SHR flush mounts will help even them out, but now I'm being biased

The gt500 wing is on there now and I thought about the shr flush mounts until I saw a gt with the side scoops and roush louvers and it didn't look good so cervini 1/4 scoops are in the near future. It just sucks that I can't get a bigger chin spoiler!
