Who are you ordering from? I spent way too much time analyzing Bullitt wheels for my car from the different vendors, ordered from the company that I thought was THE ONE. I got wheels (like you) different from what was advertised. I now own AM Bullitts. They're a little darker than OEM and have a really nice lip on them. I wish I'd just ordered from them from the beginning.

EDIT: This info may or may not help you in your perfect Bullitt search. This was for 20" wheels, but may provide some insight at least as to who builds their wheels what way.

Everything should be here by Monday. Tires are Continental DWS 275/35 and 255/35.

Incidentally, thought I should share this since I wasn't able to find it easily and just ended up measuring myself.

GROUND TO FENDER (AT HIGHEST POINT)

——FRONT
28.25", 2.5" gap with 17" stock wheels wrapped in 255/35/17

——REAR
29", 3" gap with 17" stock wheels wrapped in 255/35/17
~3.5-3.75" from hub to fender
13" between fender and shock (at top of stock tire)

OFFSET DIFFERENCES IN 20" Bullitts / AR Torque Thrust Ms

LRS: +32F +45R (Torque Thrust)
CC: +36F +45R (Bullitt)
AM: +38F +48R (deepest wheels offered) (Bullitt) $175/$180, Free shipping
TR: +32F +34R (shallowest wheels offered) (Torque Thrust) $220/$232 + Shipping
CJ: +32F +34R (shallowest wheels offered) (Torque Thrust)

CC=Cruizin Concepts
TR=Tire Rack

Hopefully one day someone facing the same dilemma I was facing will find this through a Google search and save themselves hours of research.

I looked at those but they have a 2 inch lip (deep dish) and I don't like the look, the inside of the wheel sits in too far.

The wheels I had have a 1" lip and thats the most I would want to go, I like the way it sits with them.

But I may have to go with them, I will need to first get OE Wheels to refund my money.

Time to just get a different set lol. Sucks that it is a big pita to find them now.

Have you tried wheel replicas? There's also a guy on ebay that carries those wheels with the same center section and the lip looks to be about the same. His store's name is wheelindex.

This is why I started this thread but the Consensus was that teh Anthracite Bullets that I had are the best choice for my Car..

Thats who I got them from origionaly (7 years ago)
I have not been able to find the same ones.

Problem now is Brothers Performance is stalling and will nor refund my money, OE Wheels will not take them back unless they get the OK from Bros Perf.

OE wheels does not carry Anthracite in 18 inch only 17, but Bros Perf lists Anthracite in 18x9

This is what I ordered from their Website

This is the wheel they sent me (From OE Wheels Website)

Called American Muscle to see if the Anthracite is the old color or the New Gun Metal / Silver... I sent them pictures of my old wheels.

and they said that the once they have are more silver now not gold.
so I am still looking for a wheel that looks good on my car.

It is so hard to get a color wheel that looks good with the Mineral Grey...
(Gold/Grey) THIS SUCKS I am so mad at my wife

Have you thought of taking those wheels to get repaired?
They can fix them if they are not cracked, They look like they are just bent.

too late, I took them to a tire shop to have the rubber pulled off and the guy said these are not fixable so he tossed them in the trash..

I now have to figure out what design / color will work well with my car and I have no idea.. I always loved the Anthracite (Gold flake) bullets
