Default Getting 17x10.5 Bullits with correct paint color for 2001 GT

I have an '02 GT which has the Bullitt wheels with a slightly lighter hue to the grey than the 03-04's have. I am wanting to purchase a 17x10.5 for the rear but fear the great will be noticeably darker than the front wheels. Does anyone know of a remedy for this/ where to buy 17x10.5's with the lighter colored grey wheels?

The remedy would be to buy all new Bullitt's from the same company.

Well, obviously, but since we all aren't made of money, I am wondering if there is another company that anyone knows about that makes a wheel with the lighter color of the 01-02 Bullitts.

That's the only chance man.... buy all 4 and sell your stockers or something...or just get some black bullitts or hypercoated or something... i dont see any other way around it

the anthrecite rims that american muscle sells are a perfect match for the newer style bullitts (ie my 03). i have my old 2 rims for sale if you want them. where are you located? one has a chip in the finish, so $100 plus shipping and they're yours. might help you match to the rears, it's just a question of how thourough you want to be
