Was wondering if anyone is running Bullitt style wheels on their SHO? I've always been a fan of the style, Think the gloss black with polished lip will look really nice on my tuxedo black SHO... I am thinking of a staggered set up 20x10 rear, 20x8.5 front but a buddy mentioned that the "mustang look" just doesn't belong on a Taurus. Thoughts????
Bullitt Rims anyone

I believe shoman04 (an RoTM entry) is running those (track only?). Will have to do a search to find the related postings, or better yet, hopefully shoman will chime in himself!

I like those better with out the little doodads shoman has on them. Just plain Bullitts. I bet they would look great! I had them on the old Fusion for while but switched to ASA 1's later.

nice choice, i liked the combo of chrome lip w/ black wheels, but like shoman4, i like the what dave called doodada's. like dave once told me we at painting our own masterpiece & each of us has his distinct idea of what that is. all i know is new wheels makes you feel like you just bought a new car since the appearance is changed so much.

So to use Mustang wheels, which are dirt cheap, we need a hubcentric adapter? Looks like SR76641 76MM-64.1 TSW HUB RING is the correct size? Is the offset of the Mustang vs. SHO the same or close enough it won't matter? Can't seem to get answers.
I think the rims shoman is using are from American Muscle? http://www.americanmuscle.com/bullittwheels.html

from my doing a fair amount of research, our bolt pattern is 5 x 114.3 or 5 x4 1/2. i think mustangs are the same atleast from a quick look on web. so don't know why you'd need an adapter. finding the offset of the wheels was more of a challenge. on the '10 w/o pp mine were +39. the wheels i put on were +35 & they did move the wheel away from the caliphers.

Not a fan of the wheel, mostly due to burning out on the style with my Foose Nitrous wheels, which have a similar design. But also, because those particular wheels have "mushroom" spoke style, which to me looks tacky.
A similar wheel to the one you picked out, is the MHT Foose Knuckle Buster. I think that wheel would be epically awesome on your car. http://mhtwheels.com/mht-luxury-alloy-wheel.cfm?id=10181
Such an awesome look

The hubcentric ring is to keep it centered on the rotor so you don't have vibrations. The offsets are nearly the same -4mm, shouldn't be that noticeable. Do you have pics?
YES!!!! I have a set that I got from a EBPF MEMBER - BNOON With my race tires 275x40x20 back and frontMFSHO said:
