Default Deep dish bullitts on rear. 2002 GT

I have a 2002 GT and it has the factory Bullitt wheels. I am wanting to put 17x10.5 deep dish bullitts on the back. I am wondering if I buy the deep dish for the back if they will match the factory bullitts in the front? has anyone ever done this before? please help.

they will match but u may have to swap over ur old center caps. also they could be a hair darker since the stockers are 8 years older.

I believe that the wheels are made to match the 02-04 style bullitts as they are a lighter anthracite or something.. So they should. I would talk to an AM sales rep beforehand anyway, but they should match.

A lot of people upgrade just the rear wheels and use the stockers up front. BUT i think the lip on the stockers is machined. The lip on the 10.5's or aftermarket wheels is polished AND machined to make it shinier. Idk if that will bother you, but you could always sand the lip and smooth it out to give it that look. (that's waht i've heard)

There are quite a few different shades of the factory bullitts. The DD wheels I bought from AM did not match my stock wheel color.

I was thinking of doing the same thing, but after I did the Mach1 brake upgrade, I'm considering new rims all around to show them off more. I'm doing a supercharger first, so that's still a pipe dream. Sooo ready to hit the pipe

I contacted AMNick about this a while back and he said that the wheels do not match stock perfectly. Then I contacted the guy that sold me my stock bullitts because he ran aftermarkets in the rear and he said that it was only noticeable if you were up close to the car.
