i got mine for $450 new. they are 235/55/17 pirellis. they rubbed a little in the front while turning so i added a 3/8" spacer and now they are ok. they do look a little sunk-in in the rear so i ordered a set of 1.25" hubcentric wheel adapters to bring them towards the fender. they spacers and adapters were less than $80 total. you dont need them, but you may want them after time.

here is a pic:

The bullits don't look bad, but the rest suck.

I like the Bullits. Don't like the other ones that they made. Not sure what they were thinking

mine came free with new snow tires[8D]


when I have the $$, i might upgrade to saleen or FR-500's. Or maybe polished 18" take-offs.

problaly, i wouldn' though cause it a totaly differnt chassi than are new edges, remember its a different car, but i could be wrong though. IMO I would just get wheels madefor you car year 99-04.


Good Luck
