My vote is for the Bullitts... I've always liked those rims.

I'm not a big fan of the Bullitts. They are pretty great depending on what mustang you put them on, but still they seem way to common and there a a lot of better choices. I'd go with the Cobra style wheels.

I like the Cobra style of wheels. The other ones look to much like the ones that come on the stock mustang.

I'm not a big fan of the bullitts because they're way too common. I'd say go with saleens but out of your two, definitely the cobras.
