I think both wheels look very sweet but around here in personi rarely see Fanblades nor 18' polished bullits. The only time i sawthem was at the dealership and it was ononly a selectfew stangs.

RE: How come nobody likes OEM Fanblade wheels?
My ownership of an 06 GT conv was delayed because all they had in this area were cars with the Fan Blades. Now I have the 18" bullits polished. The other day I told my wife I was thinking about getting the 18" Bullits in chrome. (Ford Version). You should of heard her. "All that over those wheels and now you want different ones) LOL. My problem with the Fan Blades is simple. The car is retro and the wheels aren't. Its like putting a set of Cragar SS on a 350Z. Wrong era wrong wheel. The proof to me is even Cragar gets it. They make a retro wheel for the 05+ Mustangs that simulates the original SS. The Fan Blades belong on the previous model years. Thats where they look right at home. A modern wheel on a modern car.

Bullits belong in a gun, not on EVERY SINGLE MUSTANGFord has now. It is a bullit rimfor one reason, for the bullit. Even the 6 cylinders have them now...... Do I like Chrome bullits, yes, But there is nothign wrong w/ Fanblades. Personally it helped w/ the decision to get this car

RE: How come nobody likes OEM Fanblade wheels?
OK, since I am a first time Mustang owner, I am clueless about which I have or what the difference is, even after looking at all the pics. I don't see much difference except with the (obviously) aftermarket rims. Can someone look at my pic and tell me which I have. I want to get in this argument on one side or the other damnit. I like my rims but can't seem to get them shiny enough (but that's a whole different post).
Thanks,
Lance
