Can anyone identify this Mustang GT wheel/tire combo?

Hey All,

Can anybody identify the make of the wheel shown in this photo? Maybe tire, too? Tire appears to be Riken but cannot make out model. Any comments on performance or quality would also be appreciated. Thanks!

i reckon the tire is a Riken Raptor ZR.
i bet the wheel is an off the shelf aftermarket Bullitt wheel from AmericanMuscle.com

google brough up this thread: Riken Raptor Tires - MustangForums.com

I thought that at first, but the center cap is different. The American Muscle have an SR with a sort of vertical Band. This is just a "stylized" R.

But thanks for the Raptor info. Anybody else that can offer more insight on the wheel as well as the tire performance and quality would be much appreciated.

The tire is definitely a Raptor. Stay away from them, the suck. Really soft sidewall, godawful in the rain, break loose with little or no warning... they were so bad I bought different tires after 5k miles on them.

I agree those look like imitation bullitts. Hundreds of companies make them - do a google search for black bullitt mustang wheels and you'll find them eventually.

Thanks guys. As for the wheels, both Cervini's and MrBodyKit sell them with the same center. They seem to have no particular brand name as they just call them "Bullitt style".
