New Shoes for my Bullitt

[lieu910]

Just installed new wheels and tires. Love the contrast of the gunmetal with the DHG.

I went with 295/35 in the rear to keep the diameter as close to stock as possible, and also keep weight in check. Rears are about 1.3 pounds heaver each. Up front are 265/35, and weight on the fronts dropped 2 lbs per wheel, so net net, it's about equal to stock wheel & tire weight.

classic wheel look, IMO many others are too busy looking. Good choice!!

I was thinking of buying the exact same setup — it looks awesome! I hate how the stock front wheels accumulate brake dust within one day of driving after a bath (making them look dull grey instead of gloss black). Do you find the gunmetal Shelby’s are a little more foregivong visually when they accumulate brake dust?

No doubt they will not show brake dust like the black wheels. Another reason why I chose the Shelby wheels.

They are Falkens. I did some research and they received a lot of good reviews.

Are those DHG colored louvers? I usually don't like those but got me thinking

Yes, they are the Hurst louvers painted DHG.

You have the 50th anniversary tail lights??

Definitely looks like it from the image. IMO, they look good considering the other bright factory trim that Ford put on the Bullitt.

Yes, it seemed odd to me that Ford gave the Bullitt bright work on 3 sides of the car, so I bought the 50th anniversary lights.
