Anyone try these wheels on their Bullitt?

[GreenS550]

I got a set of the wheels below. They're "18 and certainly wouldn't handle as well as the stock "19 Michelin, but for you guys that like this wheel as one closer to the Bullitt orig wheel. I'm gonna try them out soon. I got them for the "18 auto I bought recently to drive in the winter.

I dont think any Ford 18in will clear the Performance Pack/Bullitt brakes.

The only 18" wheels i know of that will clear the Bullitt's front calipers are the flow formed Apex wheels; they'd make a superb winter set if you catch one of their sales (like now)

I have those wheels on my ‘17. I painted them to look like Bullitt wheels. I don’t have the performance package, I doubt they would fit a PP car.

I've been thinking about changing out my OME wheels for something else. Want a 5 spoke & was thinking if anyone has looked at Cargar SS wheels from the old days

Forget the SS mag as it only comes in 15". Did our old muscle cars really have 15" wheels?

Most of the old 60's muscle cars had 14 inch wheels. My 70 Roadrunner did. My 70 429 Torino had 15s. My 1964 Galaxie with a 427 had 14s. Later the 15s were options but most did not have even 15 inch wheels. Bias ply tires which a wimpy 6 cylinder could lite up.

Hi Dick. Do you have any suggestions on my query looking for 19" Cragar chrome SS mags?

 

[GreenS550]

I don't know if you have seen these: Both chrome and grey like the original Bullitt. But, no 19: :(

Looks great but you're right when I put in the '19 Bullitt the only wheel that came up was black & did not have the SS look! But tx

Bob is right, no 19" I'm aware of. American's 20" come as close to the old Cragar SS as you'll find without spending a boat load of $$$. American Racing makes some pretty nice wheels these days

 

[frankeric16]

Tx all for the input. Checked out AR see below. No fully chromed like the SS. Looks like I'll have to go 20".

You might look at the Shelby cs70 wheels. That's what I put on

Can you post some good pics of your CS70’s? I was looking on AM’s site a few nights ago as they seem to be the only one selling them and there’s no good owner pics to see how they look mounted.

Did you go for the Matte Black or Gunmetal finish?

 

[frankeric16]

I've been going crazy looking at wheels & what I'm seeing is disappointing. I want to keep my 19" rubber since I only have 2k miles on them. So I'm finding 5 spoke chrome forged but not in 19", ug!
