Ive never known a factory mustang to come with black bullits. I would imagine those are aftermarket... but not sure

I agree with jpeng.
When I bought my car the dealer offered me the option of black wheels ( at $1300 freakin dollars ) but they were not from the factory, they were aftermarket.

+1. Those have to be aftermarket, because if you look at the center caps, they don't have the center caps with the FORD logo, like ones in the 1st and 2nd picturesbelow.
The 2005 - 2007 Mustang GTs,withthe OEM Bullitt wheels and fan blades, allcome with FORD logo center caps.

When I got Ford Racingaftermarket Bullitt wheels, the center caps were the same as the ones you see on the black bullitts of the Shelby. See the 3rd and4th pictures.

Also, why would they be selling a new Shelby on Ebay? I wouldn't trust anyone selling something like that, unless I can physically see it person.

You know, they would be easy enough to make though...I have a set of the painted one's I just removed from my 07, I might just paint them (My Dad and Brother own a body shop, so I'm not talking about rust-oleum) and see if I can sell them, That might be interesting!

They are from the factory just for the Shelby GT's and they are the same as 18oem polished bullit option just black. You can't order it for a regular GT its only for the shelby GT.

Ummm... My factory 18 inch bullitts do NOT have the ford logo on them... and yes they are stock... they are just like those black ones, but in polished aluminum.

Yes this is true. The black Shelby GT comes with these wheels and the white one comes with the polished ones.

I mean the shelby GT is a GT/CS justspoiler delete lowered CAI and a tune and a bunch of shelby tags on it. IMO get GT/CS.

Those black rims look really good on the car.
