wheel question


i cant decide if these wheels are the same color as the stock GT wheels

http://www.americanmuscle.com/anthra...h-bullitt.html

i really like the way the stock wheels look but i want deep dishes on the rear...are they the same color and also how would these look with 17s on the front and the 18's in the back? does anybody have pics of this setup?

you have an 01 so they should be the same, i have a mineral grey 02 and they made the bullets a lighter color that year so that screwed me to just buy DD for the rear, o well. i wouldnt recomend 17's and 18's, keep it 17 and do DD in the rear. watch the 315 tire size tho it might be real close to the exhaust and you dont wana burn your new tires, some say they clear fine and some say its to close

Go with the 17" deep dishes, they are 10.5" wide.... more rubber to the ground. With those wheels you can get 315/45R17 tires and you should be fine.

Like RC02GT said some guys have exhaust issues but I think for the most part you'll be fine. I've never had any issues except recently, when I replaced my Sumitomo tires with new B/F Goodrich drag radials, I had a tiny tiny bit of wheel rub on the driver side rear when I turned to the right really hard, I just had my shop bang a small section in and it fixed it.
