Im sure alot of others have this same problem...Theres so many wheels and I dont know which to choose. I like to many of them and this is kind of a big decision, any suggestions on what would look good on a 2000 gt(Green) And also, does anyone know what this green is actually called?

Im not sure what that color is called, but those v6 wheels are a definate no go! Any of the 17's or 18's would look better than those. If it were me I would put some chrome 03 cobras on there!

My vote would be for the grey bullits. Deep dish.

How did you end up with those V6 wheels, I have never seen them on a GT.

Those wheels came on some 99/00 GT's. Your car will shut off around 120mph. The tires are H rated.

You might be able to go to a local dealership and pay them a small fee and swap them for some 17in. wheels

Did I say "small fee" and "dealership" together...? That can't be right

I believe there were two different green colors, electric green and ? green.

+1 on the Athracite Bullitts

My previous mustang was a green Bullitt and as far as wheel to color combo's are concerned I think Ford definately got it right on that one...

Those are the standard GT Deluxe wheels for 1999-2000. The 17" painted wheels were an option on the Deluxe and Standard on GT premiums. Not too many Deluxes came with the 16" wheels. The plus side is that these are usually the quickest stock 99+ GT's due to the lighter wheels and usually not coming with such options as ABS/TC leather and Mach 460.

Oh the tires are H-rated so the car is speed limited to 117MPH You'll need a chip or tune to defeat that.

Check your door jamb sticker for the color code.

If it's SU then the color is Amazon (tropic) Green and 13.262 were made that year.

If it's SW then it's Electric Green and only 5100 were made that year.

To me it looks like you have Amazon Green
