I'm shopping for new wheels right now and as I browse more and more gallery pics, it seems like a huge majority of the cars here have either the stock wheels or DD bullitts - which makes sense cause they look great. I'm just looking for something a little different to make my car stand out more - can any of you with different wheels post up some pics or send me a link to pics of your car with different wheels? I would prefer to see pics of Black B's but DHG's and TB's will work too. Also, if anyone has saleen wheels on their car for the love of god hook me up with a pic! :wink: Either I suck at manipulating the search function on here or there is hardly anyone with these wheels! Thanks!

I'm trying something a bit different,using what I have. American Torque Thrust 15x8.5 with 5 inch back space and BFG 275x60x15 on the rear. The stock Bullitts up front.The wheels were custom painted a medium dark argent color on the spoke area. The rear tire wheel combo fills up the wheel wells nicely,have the tire at the edge of the fender lip,and really give the Bullitt an aggressive drag racer type look. Just needs a lumpity-lump cam to go with it!
It's at the end of the cruise/race season,and thought I would try something really retro looking. At some point next year,if there is any new mod money,other tires could be chosen for the 15 inch wheels....M/T's maybe!
Oh and yes,the 27.5 inch tall BFG's do knock my effective gear ratio from 3.73 to around 3.50-55. But yesterday I did a little throttle stab from a 1st gear roll,and they were easily lit up!
I like the 2003 Cobra wheels on this body style with this color. I have always LOVED that body color. I think the Steedas look cool also and I would have a hard time figuring out which wheels to keep on there ... !!!
I don't think the 197 wheels posted are what you will want to look at as I believe that the offset is wrong for an 01 since that is what you have. Better off looking at wheels for the new edge and fox type of platform. E-bay has quite a few and some great deals on there. if you see a style you like, you may consider looking there.
The more I see lighter color [e.g. anthracite/silver or chrome] wheels on the '08's the more I'm convinced they came with wheels that are too dark.
I 've felt that way from the first time I laid eyes on the newer Bullitt.
Love the design - not the color.
