Frustrating: Help me find a wheel!
Well, since I purchase the car in 2005 I've been looking for a wheel. I saw an article where someone had what appeared to be American Racing Bullitts (not Shelby's) on it, and it looked really nice. Since then I've searched and searched, and found about 8 styles similar to the American Racing one, but none of them fit our cars.
Shown here (http://asp.americanracing.com/dealer...ga/mVN1091.jpg). To me I think these are the best styling bullitt, others like the hubless look better. To each their own.
So I cannot come to a conclusion of what I want, and my stock tires are in need of replacing so with that I want to upgrade both the wheels and tires...
American Muscle, at one point I liked the look but I'm not digging the deep dish look, nor the extreme curve of the spokes...
Anyway, what do you guys recommend? I have a black GT and I want 18" Open to all suggests, thanks for your help!

18x8 and 18x9.5 with either 32 or 42 offset.
I would run a skinny up front on the 32 offset and 42 out rear with the wheelwell full.

Hey guys, I appreciate your help... I did look into the Boss 338s, but they lack the little "bump" before the spokes... and after seeing them on multiple cars they just didn't look right, atleast to me... I feel I'm hopeless.
As far as the Lorenzo. Not a bad looking wheel, but I don't dig the rivet look.
Anyone else?
