Or during hard launches??

Can't miss an opportunity to plug my own car!

The Bullitts, to me, are one of the best looking wheels on a Mustang. There's a reason they're still made and sold, people love them! They're classic, but with the new deep dish versions, they're still modern. The scream "American Muscle!!!"

I have 18 x 9 w/ 255/45/18 front, 18 x 10 w/ 295/45/18 rear. I might lower is a little, but my wheel gap is pretty good right now.

I know you've all seen the pictures, but I just can't resist!

Excuse the french, oh yeah f%ck the french, but Dayum that looks good Slappy!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I had the mulla to spring for 18's but I did get lucky to get a good deal on some 17 x 10.5 for the rear.

Thanks acehogg69. I tossed around several different wheels before I decided on those, and I've never regretted it!

Slap ? Nice. Very nice. I had no idea 295's would look that good. I always told myself that 285 was the limit for me. Im really liking it. The deep dish looks great. The thing about deep dish is to look at a car with them, then look at one without them. That is how you get hooked on the look. Thanks for the pic. Nice ride !

I love the 295's, and they grip like crazy. Honestly, with the wheels and tires alone, my wheel hop is practically gone, and my handling is much better. I can't wait to do some suspension upgrades.

I was dying for some wide rubber though. The widest I've ever had was on my old car, and those were 225's on 17 x 7 wheels, and they looked crazy wide to me. When I saw the 295's on the 18 x 10's, I just about crapped my pants.

Bullits are a solid, discrete, upgrade to the cars looks. They look like they belong on this car.

Bullitts come stock on a lot of mustangs... Adding bullitts is a real big upgrade to the cars looks!

Sorry, but I prefer my car to still look like a Mustang. Not some bling-bling ricer mobile. There's a V6 Mustang at my local dealership for sale with some chrome 20's on it. Just screams bad gas mileage and added weight to me. 20's belong on Donks and Escalades, not on Mustangs. I would never go bigger than 18's on a 'Stang.

Slappy man, that is one beautiful car. Your TLC shows. You're a little wheel gap away from perfection?

[SlappyGT]

Thank you, it's definitely on it's way. I'm very picky about the parts I choose, so I tend to do a lot of research first. I lowered my last car with just springs, and regretted it about 3 months later after my shocks/struts blew. So this time I want to make sure I do it right. After that will probably be some stereo equipment, I love music. Then...probably some more power.

slappy's pics don't do the 295's justice. they are much wider when seen in person. when i look at my 285's they look wider than his pics do. i'll try to squeez some 295's on mine here shortly. after only 4 months my bfg kdw's are almost gone.
