Default Bullitt wheel question...

I was looking at buying some Bullitt wheel take-offs. Now, are the Bullitt wheels that come on the new GT's the sort of charcoal colored wheels or are they the lighter silver color? It's a little hard to tell from the pictures I've seen. Thanks for the help.

The ones that come on the GTs (Premium GT wheels) are the charcoal color. At least, that's all I've seen at the dealers anyway.

Where ya getting them from? And how much? Just curious, is all. I got mine from Saleen...came with the tires too...all for $1000. All I had to do was take them out of the box and put them on the car.

That's the price I was looking at... there are a few sites that offer them for around that price with tires. I was hoping they were the silvers.

The charcoals are nice too though. Did you get them from the Saleen website?


Edit: Does anyone know where I can get the silver Bullitt wheels for cheap and get tires on them?


Edit again: gefracing.com has them with Kumho Ecsta tires. How do those tires compare to the stock Goodyears?

No, didn't get them off the web site. I had actually seen their ad in one of the Mustang magazines advertising their take-off stuff. They didn't have those wheels listed on the web site yet (too new of a wheel), so I called them up and ordered a set.

The kicker was shipping costs. $200 to have them shipped UPS ground from CA to MD. Ouch.

Oh ok... thanks IIGood.


Does anyone know where I can get the silver Bullitt wheels for relatively cheap with tires?
I found a set on www.gefracing.com has them with Kumho Ecsta tires. How do those tires compare to the stock Goodyears?

Ecsta tires are awesome. Are they the 712's?

Silver torq thrusts are nicer, and Kuhmos are much better than the stock goodyears.
