The "Bullitt" style is actually a rip off of the ORIGINAL bullitt car's wheels.

Those wheels were made by American Racing in the late 60's for Steve McQueen in his movie "Bullitt."

I like the old style, so that's what I have.

I am inserting photos of my real Bullitt wheels - which are Amercian Racing Torque Thrust Classics.

American Racing also makes the Torque Thrust II which is the same wheel but all Chrome.

You can view their website at http://www.americanracing.com Click on vintage cars and you'll see the ones you're looking for.

They will be more expensive than the others available.

My offset in the photos below is 40mm. However American Racing messed up and they SHOULD be 45mm. American racing is replacing my wheels with the correct offset. If you look closely the wheels stick out just a hair in the photos. I hate that look.

Here's the photos of mine:
