I like the bullits, but Im not too much of a fan of black on black.. just doesnt do it for me :shrug: Seems really.. akward with the gold side stripe...

Love the tires though :) I want to go with a 255/285, but Im worried about replacing the rears if I cant rotate them as much :p I may end up with a 255 atw around... ah well, well see hehe.

How does the ride feel with the 18s? Does it feel any more sluggish, or slower? Im love the look 18s give, but Im worried about the performance aspect of it.

Thats Ok Zodiac. I wasnt sure how they were going to look with the Gold Stripe initially. But after I had them put on, I loved it..and still am loving it :D
To answer your question about the wheels, I was debating weather to go with 255's all around or have 275's in the rear, finally I went with the 275's just because I really wanted the meaty look.

The ride has changed a little bit, initially i could feel the car being a little heavier, but I got used to it pretty quickly. Since the tires are a lower profile than the originals, I feel the road more, which can be annoying at times, but its not too bad. Overall I dont think the performance has hurt too much, I love the fact that I can take some sharper turns now though.
Hope this helps.

Not to hijack the thread, but I wanted to toot my car's horn. I finally got some pics done and wanted to offer some more love for the black Bullitts. I love mine, I get at least 2 or 3 comments a day on them.

Edit: Strange. Sorry if you didn't see the full size pics. I guess I'll see if the thumbnails work.

I could see the pics....I like it..the White is a color I really like on this car and the black n white scheme makes it look sweeeet! :nice:

Yes, your car is an exact twin of Deepinsleep's!! Yours is just of a different color.. Very nice job.. If I saw you on the streets, I would vigorously wave a mighty thumbs up to you!! Nice job.. :nice:
 
I have noticed both your cars have an appeal that I have so far only seen in Echo7's Mustang..

The point of interest is in the lower Mustang Stripe, on the sides of the car.. Capped off by a Spoiler, then rounded out with Bullitts.. These 3 things make up the distinct look that you all 3 share..

A distinct look that we share? Would it be considered distinct then :D ? J/k, thanks for the input.

The pictures are a bit bright, but my car is silver. It does look white in those, but it was a bright day and a disposable camera unfortunately doesn't have any good filters or shutter controls to limit over lighting. I'll take the props though, in the spirit in which they are given.

Quick question. What the difference between your rims and these: It seems like the centere caps are just different? click on link.

Other than the center cap the main difference is the offset. These are going to stick out a lot more than mine. The ones I have are a 35 mm offset I believe. They are right for the 05 Mustang. The ones you have in the link are primarily designed for older Mustangs.
Other than that they look pretty much the same.

He's right about the offest.. Those are 25MM... They will stick out like a sore thumb.. Looking at the car from the back, it will be too obvious..

Try and stick at the lowest to 29mm or 30mm... Thats the lowest.. Other than that, they will look good from the side, but from the back, your cover is blown..
 
...new shoes...
