    One of the things I'm looking to buy at the spring Columbus Swap, is a set of Bullitt wheels.

    I would prefer them with the center a grey color and the outer part in chrome,maybe I could paint them.

    I think the late model wheels look great on Mavericks. Here's a pic of a members car, one of the best looking Grabbers around imo.

    I am really a fan of the bullitt wheels on curvy ford cars. I think these wheels fit perfect on the mavericks and the sn-95 mustangs.

    I also like the addition of spinners on them for a more classic feel IMO.

    I might switch wheels on my sn-95 and use them on my maverick.

    I am glad I got the wheels yesterday. I had just slipped my shoes on to test fit the wheels on the mav and I get a call from my wife, it goes about like this ..."hey honey" I say "yeah?" she says" what would make my car pull to the right real bad and make floppy kind of sound?" I say "a flat tire,why" her answer was " Because it's been doing that for the last 5 minutes, I am a couple of miles from the doctors office, I will check it there."
    Needless to say one 245,40r20 is trashed, 1 rim scratched to crap and her car now has my new wheels.

    Agreed. Too flat. I love Torque thrusts. Possibly the only wheel that would have me remove my steelies.
