Question what size Bullit rims should i buy for my 09???

id say go with 18's..and then go with some springs. something like the eibach pro-kit would do you fine. that way the 18's wont look that small, make your car sit nice and fierce

just say no to bullitts, but if you must. make sure you at least buy them wide. either will look good 18's or 20's. 18's will be more performance oriented and 20's will be more looks oriented. the 20's for bullitts will be damn heavy. i'd also agree with you about the black wheels to go along with your stripes. you need some over the top stripes to match though imo. for tinting your lights i'd suggest doing the spray tint over the stick on film like i have. i'm going to change after i get home. the stick on is poor fitting and doesn't look as clean.

this is what mine look like with 18's and the eibach pro kit. they aren't bullitts but you get the picture. these tires are also shorter than the stock tire height of 27". when they are gone i'll be going to a 28" tall mickey thompson drag radial in the back which will fill up that wheel well very nicely

ahhh i know what you mean. I'm in the same boat as you. I keep thinking about what rims to buy for my car, then when i settle, i end up changing my mind. I just dont wanna spend a couple grand on wheels then have them not look just PERFECT. You cant go wrong with bullitts. But i am looking for something unique such as the CS40 but the problem is they only offer them in 20 inches and im not willing to sacrifice performance.
