Why are some Bullitt rims different?

Mustang Stan · July 8th, 2011, 12:13 AM

I've noticed the factory 05-09 GT bullitt rims go straight across the spoke while some other Bullitt rims (Some are aftermarket) have a curve to them on the spoke I dont like. Are the 05-09 rims called S197s? I like those and there is a distict difference in the two wheels. Does anyone make those in a 19" wheel?
Thanks

99-04 and 05-09 bullitts are different in design slightly. Also, oem and replica's are slightly different. They are replicas, not copies.

OK. Thanks. I'm just worried if I order a set online, I might get the ones I dont want. I've found that the factory ones I like have the spoke come straight to just about the edge of the outer rim. So that helps me see the difference better.
Thanks for the help
