Just put on new Bullitts and Nittos

Just put on my new Bullitt rims and Nitto tires. Rims are from AM and are 18 x 9 and 18 x 10 deep dish chrome. The tires are 245/45/18 Nitto 555's on the front and 285/40/18 NT05R's on the back. I love the look and am really surprised how nice they ride. I was expecting a little rougher ride. I haven't gotten a chance to get on it from a dig yet but so far I am really pleased. Here are some before and after pics:

They are actually the NT05R's so a drag radial. Didn't think I needed them on the front.

There's no 27 inch NT05 skinny enough for the front. That's why I went with the NT555R in the back, so I can get a matching NT555 front tire. If they come out with the right size NT05 tire for the front, I'm going with NT05Rs in the rear.

Wow those really pop on your cars color! I love bullitts on a S197 Mustang. Any other modern "bling" wheel just throws the whole "retro" off IMO. Especially bling 20's. Yuk.
Great looking car man.
