Need some advice on wheels for my '99 GT Vert. Here is a pic of the car in its current state with the OE Ford 17x8 Bullitt’s:
I’m trying to decide between a few styles of wheel:
FR500 18x9/1x10 replicas in “Hypercoat” or black, with deep dish in the rear:
Saleen 18x9/18x10 replicas in “Hypercoat”:
Regular ol’ Bullitt wheels 17x9/17x10.5 or 18x9/18x10, Anthracite or Polished finish with deep dish in the rear:
All of these wheels are on [www.ameircanmuscle.com](http://www.ameircanmuscle.com) 's website, so if you ike you can see them better there.
Opinions wanted.

no offense but I HATE the bullits with a passion.
The FR500’s or Saleens but IMO Saleens look better.

I’m looking to keep it under ~$1400 or so. The less I spend, the more I have for other stuff. I like the FR500’s alot, just unsure how they’d look on a red car like mine. Not many people have them around here (from what i’ve seen).

OK, I think i’m gonna go with the FR500’s. I wanted them the most out of the choices I had, so I just needed some positive reinforcement. Next question - which color?
I wanted to get the Hypercoated set, which is not too bling like chrome but not too dark. Anthracite would also be a choice, as it looks good on the car already (stock bullitts in the pic of the car are anthracite). I don’t want black either.
So, is it
Anthracite…
Or Hypercoated?

I’d say the hypercoated, I think it would look :pimp: with the red
