New wheels for my biotch.

Just traded the Cobras for these. I think it looks badass! They are 18x9 & 20x10 gloss black Bullitts. The rears have a 3" lip & are currently wearing 285-30-20 Dunlops. Soon to be replaced by some sort of 305/315-25-20. Front tires are 265-35-18 Toyo T1. Hate it? Love it? Comments, feedback, and haters welcome!

apply tire shine, get back to me

Might just be me... but a 2" front to rear size change looks like too much. 18" front/rear would look a touch better.

I actually like the 17/18 look. But the 18/20 looks to have way to much difference in wheel size. I like the 20 on the back though. It fills it up well. But i'd need a 19 or a 20 up front to really pull it off.

Lovely looking rims but I`m just not sure if I like them on that car (maybe suit an S197 better?) and you can pick up some center caps some time too. Not hating but your rear bumper needs cutting too. Sorry pal.

I know its not for everybody, but I dont plan on keeping the setup longer than 6 months anyway haha. I get bored quickly. WIll look better when the 315-25-20's go ont the back.

I have the center caps in my seat. They came of a DHG Bullitt car. Bumper cutting? Front or rear? Enlighten me on this...

I like the 20 in the rear... I think if you flush it out a little bit with maybe a half inch spacer it would sit perfect. And I think the 18 to 20 looks pretty good... wouldn't bother me to one bit.

Yea im thinking about spacers, if i keep them long enough to not get tired of them haha.

for some reason.... i think i like it..

Your first two pictures in your opening post. The roof , hood and bumpers are pink. Just thinking a bit of cutting paste to bring them up. Not hating man, just constructive criticism.

A couple hours work and it would look the business.

Ive tried clay bar, rubbing compound, paint cleaner, and nothing brings it back. What cutting paste do you recommend? This laser red paint ain't cheap so I'd like to bring it back as much as possible w/o having to re-paint the whole car for another year or so.

Ill let the experts break out the product names they recommend but you would probably see a great improvement with a cut/shine/wax with a Porter Cable.
