RE: I got my new wheels!!!
Thanks all for the cool comments!
Actually, those are 17 inch silver Bullitts I got from Ford Racing.
I bought them at the wholesale price of $130 each. I couldn't believe it. They usually retail anywhere between $140 - 165.
I guess I got a pretty good deal on them.
You can see more pictures of them on my Cardomain site.

RE: I got my new wheels!!!
sharp car!
I prefer the 5 spokes too- funny how the 10 spokes are the more expensive 'premium' wheel...to me the best all around looking wheel for a mustang is the old torq-thrust-D...now the newer rendition is commonly called 'Bullitt', probably because American Racing still makes the old torq-thrust-d...
To me the premium 10 spokes are too flat and resemble a hubcap contour- they still look good, but arent for me.
When I ordered my car my biggest worry was getting the wrong(10 spoke) wheels. to each his own, but I love those 5 spokes(just kinda wish the face/outboard rim flange was a tad deeper...). my biggest worry now is getting my car- looking kinda like 05 all over again.

RE: I got my new wheels!!!
Wow, what a difference a set of wheels make! I canceled my order with American Eagle on my 20" Black Torque Thrusts. They had me pretty "torqued".(Long story, American Eagle has no idea what customer service is). I'm kinda glad I didn't get them because I've been worrying about ride/traction problems that were sure to follow. I like the "bullits" and I think I will order the 18"x9" black ones. Anyways, great choice!
