i would try another diffrent wheel only because thay have become too popular. they're not bad in no way but it seems that thats everyones first choice when it comes to wheels. i would go with saleens wich arent too far behind the bullits or cobra r's, have you thought about 03-04 cobras in my opinion and helz yeah go 10.5 in the rears lol no other way

yeah ive looked around the cobra rs look great, but i really like the black bullits with my white stang, i also recently put some black hood decals. the staggered look is amazing especially with the deep dish bullits. but should i got for 18 or 17?

I also have a white 99' and the 18" black bullits with 10.5 deep dish in the back will definetely look nice but like vicma said they seem to be everywhere and you might just blend in. You should check out the 03-04 cobra wheels or the saleen wheels they are a alot more rare and give it a completely different look. But either way go with the staggered look definetely much more aggressive.

Heres a link to the wheels and some other styles to give you some more ideas:

The staggered look can be achieved by putting a 9" wheel in the front and say either a 10" or 10.5" inch in the rear giving them different widths for a more aggresive look. You could also get a deep dish wheel with a larger lip in the back for the same look too

Well IMO the 18s look a lot nicer on the car, but with more rotational mass, the more hp it requires to push it, so if your looking to do drags and tryin to keep your time as low as possible go with 17s...

I agree the deep dish bullits look pretty sick but everybody has them.. I want some deep dish rims though but the only ones I have seen that look decent on a mustang are bullitts...have you guys seen any other DD rims in different styles like the cobras?

yeah there are other DD rims these are one of my favorites:

eBay Motors: 17" 9/10" Black Mustang Cobra R Wheels rims DEEP DISH (item 290173057177 end time Oct-25-07 14:24:09 PDT)

they are a pretty good alternative to the bullits i my opinion.

also i have seen these and they look pretty good:

Chrome Deep Dish FR500 Wheel 94-04 (17x10.5)
Black Machined Deep Dish Mach 1 Wheel 94-04 (17x9)

Ya I like Cobra R wheels but I don't like how the front rims look...I want the lip to measure the same all around.

can't argue with mike on that one I've looked around for quite a while and cruizinconcepts is one of the cheapest. Haven't gotten anything from them yet so I can't speak for their quality but they definetely have reasonable prices.
