I’d really like to keep this look.

I have 8 of those AM chrome bullitt rims. 4 are 10 yrs old. Zero pitting. I only use em from may to oct.

however, the last 2 I bought (spring 2018) were 19x10's....and were pitted badly on the deep dish portion.... upon arrival. Sent AM pix..and sent em back, and AM sent 2 more 19x10's. They too were pitted, this time I read em the riot act for the 2nd time. Pse inspect the damned things with a microscope before shipping. 3rd set was good.

There should be a green QC sticker on the barrel. The 4 x duds didn't have a sticker.

I ran into a old friend who has a ‘56 Chevy. Tells me he just ordered new wheels from Foose. $3400. Doh!!!

That’s a good deal. But 20” wheels and Mustang must never occupy the same sentence.

Got 4 AM 2010 GT500 replica's on my 2009 that are 5 yrs old. Car is garaged but does see weather on occasion. No problems. Wax them periodically. That's the key.

i have a set of factory 18x8.5 polished w/tri bar running pony centercaps I'd part with (excellent condition) Ford used to make these in chrome also, i searched the net and couldn't find any to link to you.
I see you are in NC, I am in Florida. Do you have all 4 for sale or just 2?

Steeda chrome did the same for me. Started peeling after a few years of only summer use. Have a brand new set of Ford Chrome Bullets ready for next time.

Talked to Discount Tire about applying a bead sealer since the corrosion is around the tire bead. They won’t do it. Bought a can of it myself for $16. Going to clean and seal the bead area to buy some time.

I had constant leaks around the bead on brand name tires and stock wheels. When I bought new tires a couple months ago, the local Discount Tire cleaned up the rims and used Sliptac Tire Bead Lube before installing the tires. No leaks in the past couple months.
