I've been looking at a few of these type wheels...some pretty good deals available on sets and some in chrome.

I like the drilled center cap on this set...a nice GP decal over the pony make a unique look.

These are 15x7 w/+24mm offset

The ride on 18s is horrible for Tbat. He's to the point he won't drive the GP for long period of time becouse of the jounce the car takes.

Tim I still say you should look for some red powder coated stealies with baby moons.

I saw that wheel from ricey mustang. I think it is 16 size. It is kind ugly but I can't tell because this car have lot of nasty brake dust on it lol

I have read lot of your wheels plan. Why not just use stock wheel or get any size 16. My summer car have new tire since 2005. It is still running good for lot of thread left. I always rotate the tires every 5000 miles. That's explain why it is still lot of thread left wink

Why don't you try wheels from an 05-09 Mustang V6? I think they're only 16's or 17's and the style is very similar to what you're looking for.

EDIT: These are what I'm talking about. They seem to be pretty abundant and cheap as well. I think if you paint the gunmetal parts black they'll look sick on your car.

The tires he wants to run don't come in the size he wants when your talking about 16" and bigger wheels.

He want's an old school look with wide sidewalls with raised white letters.

Herc has been paying close attention...what a dude thumbsup

raised white letter tires dont not come in sizes above 15in unless you buy the stock size NASCAR Eagle. These tires look great on Herc's ride and nicely fit the theme since his car is Pace car edition.

Trying to find a 15in wheel with a small amount of dish on the front justlike my Bullitts have has proven to be quite a daunting and expensive task.

As has been stated, I agree the Bullitts look awesome and if different sized tires would improve the ride I might go that route...but high end 18in tires cost even more than the nice wheels for full set.

I have to contact OE Wheels tomorrow for my return authorization for the Jeep wheels. If I could land a set of the black powdercoated motorsport bullitts (one with rivets) in 17x8 Imay consider that option based on price. The 235/55/17 tires may improve the ride to make it liveable.

However bargains like this eBay sale are hard to pass up on such huge savings

chrome pony wheels

I think if you added those drilled center caps to these wheels it would look pretty sharp.

I've seen these one a GP. They dont look good at all. I say the Rodlites. I know they are expensive, but damn they are sexxy! Also Prostars are sweet. Have you checked out "The Hopster"? < Those are super sexxy wheels and if I ever buy wheels for my GTP again, they are what I will buy!

EDIT: here they are. The Hopster


The best part about them for me is they come in 16" As well!
