Yea basic shape and design is very similar, but its just two different companies making a 5 spoke wheel, its really all preference when it comes to choosing between the two.

In your case did you go tt or Bullitts?

Also , whats the ummmmmm space between the edge of the rim to the spoke called?

im talking about that space that makes a rim look really deep .

I went with bullitt replicas, sorry I didn't realize you were asking me, I don't remember what the specifics are besides 17x8 up front and 17x9.5 out back.
