Now that we're on the subject, I'm looking into getting some rims. I'm not too sure of what color to get, but I'm thinking about the White Bullitt 17x9's in the front, and the White Deep Dish Bullit 17x10.5's in the rear. What kind of tires should I get that are reasonably cheap, but still good quality? Thanks for any info in advance.

there was 9 holes, its very easy, some places send you a cutting plan as well if you ask, i paid 100 for the install and paint imo it was worth it since ford was gonna charge me 200 just to paint it...
were'd ya get it installed and painted.
have some hookups??
Nope just went to a local shop, it was a small town guy while I was up at school, I think he really enjoyed working on something then just a small town normal car if ya know what i mean...

My opinion, don't get white. just go with the normal or chrome dd bullitts depending on the color of ur car.

It's Rio Red. I had SXGT chop it for me, and the white looked really good. I just don't like seeing a lot of people with the black ones. I haven't seen white ones yet though. Trying to be a lil original, that's all. But what size tires would you recommend? They need to be kinda cheap too...On a tight budget...

check here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-in...spagenameZWD7V for tires if there 18"s.
I talked to a few people who had these tires on this site and they all said theyve been pretty good.

Naw, they're 17's. I'll check out that site anyways though. Thanks.

EDIT: I clicked on another link on the site and found where he sells the 17's.

I have 18s and get compliments all day long....but there is a guy on this forum with 17" bullitts like mine and they look like 18s because with 17s you can throw fatter tires in the back which fill in the wheelwell nicely.....18s with lowprofiles look like sh*t, so what ever you choose, make sure the tires fit right on em
