Default 07 Grabber Orange wheels & tires

Just pulled the trigger on some new black Bullitts and BFG tires. Also found new sensors and bands. I'll submit some pics after they're installed if I survive the wife's wrath on this one. I'm gonna have to work a little overtime to pay for these. If anyone else has this combo, let me know what you think of them.

I ordered the 17" ones from FRPP. Thought about the 18", but don't want to lose any ride quality. We're a FRPP dealer where I work, so I get a break on the price.

Those look sweet. The ones I went with have the pony center caps.

I've had two s-197's and ran stock 18's and never had a control,handling or ride issue.I now run 18x9's, lowered(Steeda Sports) and the ride is awesome.Again, no issues.

I trade the 06'GT in. But I still have the 07'GT Grabber.If you can locate a FRPP dealer the black and silver 18's are priced out very reasonable at around $165.00.They are hub centric so no fitment issues.The polished factory Bullits are around $220.00 each and clear coated.The Ford accessories department sells the 18" anthracite Bullits for more and I don't know why,same wheel,different division.
I think any factory supplied wheel is worth it,especially if you can live it.I would have opted for the anthracite Bullitts but managed to get the Torque Thrust M's at cost.
There are some good deals on factory wheel and tires to be had at The Mustang Source web site market place.
