Looking for a replica wheel of the "bullet" style on mustangs. only in black, 18x8 or 18x7.5 with polished lip in 108x4

i've searched to no availe. just hoping someone can help me locate a dealer who has them at least in blanks so i can get my own bolt pattern drilled! Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure if you'll be able to find what you're looking for. With the five spokes, it does not lend itself easily, if at all, to a four-bolt pattern. I'm betting you'll only find something in a tuner-style, where the bolts are covered by a cap, rather than exposed.

Good luck though!
 
Not to mention it's a RWD wheel...... Although companies are making wheels with bigger rear lips for FWD cars for the "staggered" look, so you never know; what dumbasses would by them is a whole 'nother story....
 
Ment to get back sooner, i've abandoned hope for that wheel seeing as how its pretty un-realistic. Its soo hard to fin da wheel i like in our bolt pattern. except this wheel! please anybody help identify what wheel this is. i WANT THEM BAD!

Even though you gave up hope on your original idea, I believe they're called Torque Thrust wheels by American Racing.
 
Ive tried digging up the old MM&FF article, "SVT on Steroids" on numerous occasions with no luck. I know for a fact the svt contour in that article had the wheels your looking for. I'm sure the wheel brand is given in the article, but like I said, I cant find it.

I second that, when those wheels were hot for RWD cars they came out with one for FWD, I donno if they stillmake them however, this was a while back. Good luck! I have a lot of MM&FF's, I mean a lot, like 7 years of them. If anyone has the issue date/number. I can try to find it.
 
Sorry I had to work late and didnt get home to go through them. I have a note however and ill get to as soon as i can.
 
sweet thanks! Well, Id say thats about as close as you can get to a bullit wheel right there! Add a polished lip and its almost identical imho. Now the hard part is finding a set.
 
Yah that is kinda close, i remember seeing that wheel actually. Owell that's fine, i've moved on. anyone have a clue as to what wheel this is on the Dark Grey Cougar !??!?

:shrug: that wheel is sick! i'll pay the extra $ to have 'em shipped from Wherever!
 
Hey have you checked with centerline wheels yet. They make all their wheels in blanks and drill them to application. I know they had some pretty sweet stuff. I was looking at a thin chrome 5 spoke that resembled the cobra r rims. They were a forged aluminum and only weighed 12lbs. each. They were exacltly what I wanted but they ran around $350 apeice. But check with them....they do a lot of custom work.
