RE: deep dish rims..
Good luck finding aftermarket rims that will look identical to the stockers. Even though there are alot of "anthracite" rims, they are not all the same. I had done that before, they looked alright. But in pics or even when you car is sitting there, you can tell they don't go together. I had purchase mine from AM and they were lighter. It's nothing drastic, but you would be able to tell a difference. And as far as the size. Either go with 17x10.5 or 18x10. It's reallyjust about preference.

you can do it, thats what i did, it depends on what color rims you have though. ive seen bullitts that are very light and some that are darker, i have the darker factory ones, I ordered the 17X10.5 from AM and it looks bad ***. they match perfectly. even i cant tell the difference

Yeah, there are a few different shades of the bullitts that ford made. So some people may end up with a perfect match and others won't. I have the DD's in the rear and they don't match the fronts but it really doesn't look bad.
