sorry to re-vive this thread, but to the OP if you need budget wheels look at the torque thrust M wheels. they look like the modern bullit mustang rims but come in B.S. for vintage cars. Mike Maier is actually running them on his car at the moment.

well after all of that.. I actually picked up some bullitts for a good deal this morning before work. Factory Anthracite 17x8's up front on some 235/50rz17 meats and some 17x10.5 repro's with nitto 315/35 drag radials out back. The color of the repro's arent spot on, theyre lighter, more of an actual silver color. But im not worried about it. all tires have good tread and it they look that bad, Ill paint the centers black on all of them. cant wait to try and stuff them. Need to pick up new lugs, and dig out the BFH in the garage haha

Old tires on outside/new on inside..

test fit one front with the 1" spacers and I think theyll work great even after I get the front end down some. Also test fit the drivers side rear using the other 1" spacer I have and it pokes out just past the fender. Have some ARP studs ordered so i can swap those out and run about 7/16". Probably going to have to run about a 5/8" spacer on the passenger side as my rear is offset a little. here are some cellphone pics of the mock-up.

yea I feel like with them on the car you cant really tell that the color isnt the same. we'll just have to wait and see once i can get it out in the sun and everything.
