OK here's the deal...I gave Bobby his first dibs and he took a pass. I wont be doing anything until after May 15th to see what happens with our union contract (since strike would definitely screw my financial picture) The wheels are 18x9 AFS chrome bullitts which I paid $895 for...the tires are Riken Raptors 245/45/18s and are still in fairly good condition (see pics below) those were about $400 or so... I also have the bullitt three bar spinner caps which were about another $100. If anyone has a set of black 17in bullitts then I would interested ina possible trade and I would want to keep the spinners. If I dont get another set of bullitts then I have no use for the spinner set. One wheel has a slight scrape on the lip from a brush with a curb, aside from that they are pretty much flawless. So have a look at the pics and PM me if you are interested with price offer. I'm pretty much not willing to go under $500 so that lets you know where the bottom is. I'll keep them before I give them away. right side tread left side tread wheel with spinner (doesnt spin freely) 2nd wheel shot

What does it look like with spinners off? Anythign go there if they are off?
I'd love some rims, but I would like to go 17 like you are planning. I'd like to do some other stuff too, but I am just dropping all sorts of money with no income!
And why aren't you keeping them again?

Here's Tbat's wheels without the spinners ... a little closer look than what Bobby posted. I can tell you from seeing them 'up close and personal', that they look great on the car. Don

Wow, thats a hell of a deal for rims with tires, but Im going with black rims to complete my black and white look, so chrome rims are out for me. But I understand tbat about your back especially if you ride in a gp for about 30minutes and more.
So what wheels will you be getting once these wheels are sold.

Yup, I had planned on taking them before the idiots at work started screwing me over. Anyway, I still will if no one grabs them before I get the cash. :p
At least come May, I'll be out of college and have the time to look for another job if hours are still an issue by then.

Wow, I like. I might be interested in those in the future if rook doesn't come thru. So these seats would fit in my car right. What material do I need to buy or use to insert this seats in the gp.

Yeah, what is involved in swapping these in? Other than the wiring. I seem to remember this being discussed in another thread but can't find it.

If I'm not mistaken, the front seats are a straight drop in from what Tbat told me. The rear seat is the one that requires some modification. It's a folding back, unlike our pass-through design. I think he also said it was slightly wider.

If you have 245/45s they may not ride much better than my 18s since thats a fairly short sidewall tire. I think the biggest issue we would have would be shipping since anything crossing the border is stupid expensive. You could ask about a price but I'm sure its crazy.

I think I finally found a setup that will work. Its not exactly the style I had in mind but I think it might do the trick. Eagle Alloys series 146 comes in a 15x8 with a +27mm offset in 5x114.3 pattern. These will accept the 245/60/15 T/As I have been eyeing. I did some measuring and given the difference in offset combined with the difference in 9in down to 8in width, the outer lip of the wheels should actually be about 1/4 in farther than it is now...so it should still have stout look. here is the wheel Eagle Alloy 146 Now if the union and the company can just settle the labor contract I should be in business.

Make sure they'll clear the brakes too... Don't need ya to buy wheels only to have them scrape the calipers.

So sticking with chrome, I thought you were going with the sig pic wheels?
Looks like that rim jets out off the lugs, so you may have brake clearance!

If I plug in my cars info mustang bullitts dont fit either If you plug in info for a 2004 Mustang (last year for 15 in) I think you'll get a fit. I stopped at a local wheel tire place this morning and he carries those wheels. So I'm sure he'll be willing to dry fit one to check for clearance. Since the stock GP SE comes with 15in steelies then these should work but one step at a time. I was just happy to find a 15x8 with a positive offset. I would definitely like to have gone with the wheels in my sig but they werent available in the proper size.

So why 15s, kinda odd going down. The newer cars today, I check out the brakes and rims, and some of those brakes are like millimeters away from the rims, it is nuts!

I'll suck it up and live without them before I do that I think. If it turns out they dont fit the next order of business will most likely be an entirely black wheel/tire combo. Maybe a set of those NASCAR wheels from Victory...or something black with a red trim stripe.
