Bullitt Rims anyone

[MFSHO]

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?

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.

Those 20" Bullitt wheels would definitely look nice on the black, you should go for it and get some gloss black/chrome SHO center caps.

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

SHO offset is +35 to +38 for a 20 x 9 or 20 x 8.5 wheel

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?

I like those rims but I also think they are played out especially on newer cars. They will always looks good on classic muscle cars but not a new sport sedan IMO.
