Yet another rim opinion question
Closing in on deciding what I want insofar as new rims are concerned.
Currently have the stock 16" on my white 2006 V6.
I'm down to: [ul][*]17" chrome Bullitt's.[*]18" chrome Bullitt's.[*]17" black chrome Bullitt's.[/ul]No matter what, will be aftermarket (probably AFS), so allegedly no need for the steering stops etc.
I think 17" is the right size - 18" might be too big. And they don't make 18" Bullitt's in black chrome as far as I have seen.
I'm going for the monochromatic look - white with black accents and touches of chrome, without overdoing it.
I've gotten the upper grille chrome billet overlay, and will get the chrome tail-light surrounds, well as clear front and rear side lenses (with Stealth bulbs). Probably keep the tail lights red, as I have the sequentials and like the look.
Have white 1/4 window louvers en route, getting the windows tinted this weekend (35% on doors to stay legal, 20% remainder which won't look out of place with the louvers on).
I really like the look of black chrome but haven't seen them on a white Mustang yet.
Plain chrome is about $150 less, and would probably look as good - maybe better?
I definitely want Bullitt-style, that much I know.
Now deciding on size - 17" or 18". If 18", I only have chrome as the option (that I like - I don't want black or white or polished or anthracite). But leaning towards 17" and therein lies the quandry - chrome or black chrome?
Gah...
Chrome eBay link...
Black chrome eBay link...
I also don't want the faux-Cobra center cap. I have chrome tri-bars now, which will likely clash with black chrome (and I want to keep the spinners).
So maybe I answered my own question - 17" chrome and keep the spinners? I don't know... And I hate to make a $600 to $750 mistake... But that black chrome looks so nice.
Thanks for any opinions...
edit: actually, i think the link above for "chrome" is for polished aluminum, not chrome - - no matter - deciding on 17" or 18", chrome or black chrome...

Anyone know the code? Searched forums but didn't find it.
Hmm - 17" x 9" chrome from them would be about $630 with the discount, incl. shipping - cheaper than that eBay place.
Good alternative - thank you for the tip.
Gonna snoop some more to see if they have a good rim + tire package...

I had the Black chrome bullits with the tri bar centers and side swept spinners before switching to these Foose rims. I like the looks of the black bullits alot.

I'm leaning chrome, then. I'll try one of those online wheel+tire combo simulators to see if I like the looks of 17" or 18" better...
Thanks, everyone, for their input and opinions.
