    I need to replace one of my black bullitt wheels (curb rash)
    I was wondering if the aftermarket deepdish black bullitts
    look any different than the actual ford racing black bullitt wheels.
    (paint, gloss of the polished lip, etc)

    thanks!

    Those are easy enough to repair.

    Check out Wheels America for a price.

    Wheels America

    Check with a local body to see who does repairs for them. I was in a collision years back and my premium wheels on my SN '95 GT were gouged horribly, I though the were going to throw-aways. They came back great, could tell anything happened to them. It may be cheaper than buying a new one, unless you want a wider rim of course.

    If you are talking about the www.wheelreplicas.com bullitts, other than the deeper dish they are pretty much identical to the stock bullitts. They come in 17x9 and 17x10.5. If you are thinking about just going wider in the back I would go with 17x9 as the 17x10.5 won't look right with 17x8s up front.

    The 17x8" Ford Black Bullits cost $125 each. :shrug:

    with a 17x9 out back, will it look wrong if I use the same
    tires I have on my 17x8 now? (stock size)

    Thanks.

    A 9" rim is at the high end of what the manufacturer recommends for that size tire so it will fit. I would say go with the stock tires and maybe when they wear out go with some 275s on the 17x9s.
