I live in friggin SoCal and almost never run into anyone else with a well done up mustang gt. Let alone a mustang gt with black bullitt wheels. Guess I lucked out where I live! lol My car is gunna be soooo unique for my area once the blower is on! Omg I'm flipping out waiting for this weekend! lol

Btw...the bullitt center caps do look alot better, I'll need to invest in some fairly soon.

I guess it won't take you too long to scrub off the blue tread lettering on the 315's.

Definately not snow tires.

my goodness those are some wide tires...are thoes nittos?
Those seriously aren't that wide. I was so disappointed after having BFG DRs on before (were quite a bit wider) both in 315's. The BFGs had a nice bulge off the side of the rim, the Nittos look like they barely come out past the rim at all. Looks fine, but after having the BFGs first it makes me sad. I think I'm going back to BFG for my next set, even tho they only lasted like 6k miles.

Like your tires and wheels. Just don't go out with your Stang until April once all the cold weather has passed. You have beautiful performance tires for summer but a nice set of skis for any other type of conditions. You'll hydroplane your a$$ off in the rain and slush. Just forget about snow all together. The compounds on those tires turn to concrete in the cold weather and are pretty much useless. I assume you store the baby for the winter anyway. Enjoy your Xmas present to yourself!
Nah, its not that bad. I have had 275 nittos on there for quite awhile. People think all the d/rs are suicide in the rain, but after having nittos on for like 3+ years now, they are just as good as alot of the regular radial performance tires out there.

My car will never see snow, unless the entire world has gone to ****, and the only way I can get somewhere to save someones life is the stang. Hell, I am gonna probably take the tires/wheels over to get mounted/balanced and put them on myself just to not drive in this salt and crap from the last storm (not that modot has managed to clear the streets off yet).

And they arn't my present to myself, I have an awsome girlfriend that buys me car parts for christmas. I did have to buy the rubber though, but its a small price to pay.

Thanks for all the compliments, I am gonna go crazy until I have em on.

It comes with these. I had to buy the bullitt center caps (pony ones) seperate. These are not factory wheels, so you get whatever is on the wheel from the manufacturer.

I dunno what I am gonna do with em yet. THey are kinda a special edition wheel as they only came on the 2000 springtimes. I am thinking of putting a 275 MT drag radial or something on there, only the rear end might not take it atm
