I love the 17x9 anthracite bullitts. I wish my stock 17x8 silver bullitts looked as good.

I really enjoy my chrome 17" bullitts. Still get the occasional comment or two on them. Will have to do something with new wheels and tires this Spring though, almost 50K. Plan to stay 17" and tall sidewalls. Biggest problem is every time I find a wheel I like and keeps in the retro muscle look, they don't fit, very frustrating.

yeah, and this guy's the most ghetto of them all (looks like he's about to pick that dudes pocket)...



the nerve of him to design muscle cars with 20" wheels!

stock yes but only because i can't decide on 18, 19, or 20 and chrome or black and design. Figure I will continue to donate rubber to the roadways until i have to pull the trigger.

I have the same wheels as you and i love them. if you find some 17 tires that go good with them, let me know!

Thanks,

I plan on sticking with the 17" but maybe get chrome Bullits in the future. Do you guys have any problems with rust on your chrome rims?
My first car had chrome spoke rims and they were a PITA to keep clean and keep from rusting. I was always putting polish on, but they were nice looking.

The only advantage to the stocker Bullits I have now is I don't have to add anything to make them look nice. Just keep 'em clean.......But, I do LOVE the chrome Bullits!

I wish AM made 17X9 deep dish bullitts (unless they do and Im just ignorant). I like the look of 18s more, but the tire cost is so substantial compared to a 17. I also have to drive on gravel a lot, as well as poorly maintained roads, and Im concerned about how well the 18s will hold up. I guess Ill find out as soon as I can scrape the money together, lol
