going for 315's but on a slight budget
I want to get new rims for my car but don't exactly have a lot of money to throw around, not that i ever do though. I was thinking about going with black bullitts 315 in back 275 up front
my stock anthracite bullitts have seen better days, but would it be smarter than buying four new rims to pick the best two stock 17x8's with the 245's and put them up front, and get (2) 17x10.5 anthracite bullitts from American muscle and have 245's up front with 315 out back?
i estimate buying four new rims costing about 1150, or just the two big rims in the back costing about 450

I had bullits on my gt, then I found some 10.5" wide anthracite bullits for sale on here for $160 shipped, then I bought some sumi 315's for $108 a pop. 
Didnt cost too much at all. Im kinda thinking about painting the centers of them black too.
I need to get some updated pics of my car still hah, It looks pretty sweet with the wider tires.

Don't cheap out on the tires and rims. I say this in every tire thread.
Spending money on a cheap 315 is ridiculous. It is only for looks. Why didn't you just buy a sixxer if you wanted looks? A 275 will be plenty of tire and you can get a better tire.

i might go for four 17x9's with 275's instead. for simplicity and rotation
i think you can get those from OE wheels pretty cheap, but are they the same as the american muscle bullitts, or the stock ones, cause it kinda looks like each spoke has a distinct line on them instead of being rounded on some of the aftermarkets i noticed, i dont know if its on the ones from oe though i'll have to check later
