New wheels and Tires

[GrnBullitt08]

From what everyone has been telling me the 99-04 offset seems to be the way to go. I might go with option #1 with a 315 rear tire then. But I do like the black chrome saleens... Damn, choices...

I'm gonna be running drag springs so I'll have plenty of room to play with when it comes to tires.

IIRC he got them from an actual 2010 GT500, not replica's. and OP, what did you do with the Stock Bullitt wheels?

alex's are 99-04 offset

the other guy with the white car has actual 2010 GT500 wheels i believe

 

[GrnBullitt08]

Alex wheels are slick and I like they way they look.

Have you checked out the LMR SVE wheels?

I think they would look great on a bullitt in anthracite or bronze...

Yeah the bronze would be different.

 

[GrnBullitt08]

I'll look into those... Thanks Jeff

Hey Bud, as a fellow Foose owner I suggest one of two things;

1.) Buy a set of rear wheels in the same type you have now but in a 17/18
2.) Buy a set of dedicated rear wheels for the strip with DRs on it. That way you still look sharp and have functionality.

But if that fails then get the 2010 GT500 knock offs. Whatever you do PLEASE don't put a previous body style wheel on your car. It would be a massive step back from the way yours looks now.

I'm not too sure what wheel I'm going to go with yet...I'm getting a set of drag wheels for the track no doubt. Back I cant really afford to be going with another set of fooses at the time.

No problem. These wheels look great on S197's.

You and me both!!! Ive been searching like crazy for these. Just followed a set on ebay and they went for around $2,700.

I do tend to agree with you except for the sve's. For some reason I think they look better on these S197's than the new edges...

I think i am going to go with the GT500's on my stang this spring.. Those are some badass rims.

what about these. I really like them and would buy them for my drag radial except I need 17in.

If you go to sell the Foose wheels I might be interested (for the right price).

Foose Wheels and Tires in my signature are pending....just waiting for the check to arrive.

 

[GrnBullitt08]

I might go with the bronze SVE wheels that Jeff mentioned...it will give the car a different look. Every single set of wheels I've ran have been black.

 

[GrnBullitt08]

Heres a pic with the color of my car....these are 17x9, 17x10.5's with a 315 in the rear.

I can actually save about $300 going with the 17s and it would give me room for a tall, sticky tire until I can buy the bogarts.
