I want to put some wheels on my '91 coupe. I like the bullitts and the FR500 wheels. I would like to go 17x10.5 in the rear. What do y'all think would look best? Open to all suggestions.

I think some anthracite Bullitt's would look really good on your car, (probably because its green.) IMO anything would look 10x better than draglites.

As far as wheels go, modern Bullitts and FR500's are a fad, IMO, just like Cobra R's. Keep it the way it is.

I was thinking Bullitts too because the car is green. I haven't seen a green coupe on bullitts.

DO NOT change your rims! I repeat do not change your rims. Your car looks badazz.............while yes draglites are one of the biggest fads and longest of 5.0 history (I have them too) your car with those bullits/fr500 wheels will just blend in with the crowd.........my 2cents

I too love the look of the Draglites on that car. IMO those wheels never get old (depending on the car of course). For "street trim" I vote 17x9/10" Chrome Pony R's.

If you're thinking Bullitts, you might as well go full on Bullitt movie car look-a-like, because with that green, people may confuse it for an attempt either way.

Hot car, still. Dark colored wheels may look really good.

I think it does look pretty mean, but for the street I think the black with polished lip FR500's would look sick

I think bullits would look a little "tougher" than FR-500s, I would assume that's the look you're going for.
