Lightbulb Mustang Wheel Help?

I just purchased 2 mustang bullitt replica wheels, with drag ratials. I bought them because they were really really cheap!!($40) The lip on the wheel is very narrow, and i cant figure out what brand or style they are. The wheels on americanmuscle look like they have wider lips. Im having trouble finding 2 other wheels online. Can anyone please help me find these wheels, they are 17X9
Are these OEM wheels??

Thanks

Here is a link, for a video of the rims

They are crager ss style, easy to find something close. And keep in mind again, they don't have to be identical, most folks will pick a wider rear wheel and narrow front if you are actually gonna drag race. If this is your daily driver and you just want a set of drag tires for an occasional track day then don't bother with with front ones if money is a concern, just pop these on at the track. If you use narrow tires up front you risk heavy under-steer, especially as a newer driver.

Joey2000srs,

It sounds like you definitely got a good deal. However when buying just two wheels, sometimes you done run into the problem you're having. Our 17x9 bullit wheels will have a very similar lip style, But I can't promise the finish of the lip and wheel will be the same.

Like listed above you're best bet may be to throw a wider set of bullits on the rear. We do offer the same wheel in a 10.5!

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions or need some assistance!

-Dan

Those are OEM ford 17x8 bullitts. They are the early bullitts, with the lighter shade of gray. Because of that, you will need to paint them to match the replicas from AM or anywhere else.
