I like the fan blades. I was seriously thinking of getting those, but couldnt afford them, went with 17 konig wheels

Since I started this thread I should cast my vote....fanblade but could be convinced to go bullit.

I prefer the fan blades - I just think the bullits ran their course on the new edge stangs. Granted I like the bullits better than the premium wheels that were '05 - but I really like the fanblades for '06

And I prefer my fan to have 7 blades

Well, if you get the fanblades and like them, great. But here's a slight attempt to convince you that you should go bullits.

When I ordered my car, I was originally convinced (like I knew it in my gut) that I should get the fanblades. Long-long story short, when I saw my car (Tungsten Grey) pull up with the bullits, I thanked whatever angel was looking over me that this is the way things panned out. The polished bullits are just perfect on the retro design. (Personally, I thought they didn't look right on the previous generation.)

Bottom line: actually go out and look at them. Don't rely on pictures, don't rely on opinions, go out and look at them for yourself on a car that is the same color as what you have or are ordering. Then decide.

Best,
-j

I have the 18" Bullits on my '06 Performance White coupe and they really make the car stand-out in my opinion. I test drove a black coupe with the fan blades and didn't like the look nearly as much as the white one. If I were you, I'd test drive both because even my wife who was riding along noticed a different feel between the two. Don't ask what it was, but the white one was much smoother and seemed more nimble than the black one...

Here's pic's..

Lol, the wheels are the exact same size, and tires the same model. Unless someone messed with tire pressures it should be the same.


I like them both, you cant go wrong. Very happy with the fanblades. Bullitts have sorta worn their welcome a bit tho.
I have a set of 17" bullits for the winter so I get my bullitt fix.

Anybody have a picture of a screaming yellow coupe or convertible with the 18" bullits?

17 inch split spoke is the best
