Austin, as a person who has bullitts on his car now I'd say that you should consider another wheel option.

I love my bullitts and everything but I think they're starting to get a bit played out.

Bullitts are nice, and a lot of people have them...IMO you already have one set of bullitts, if you're gonna change them then getting black ones is only changing the color not the wheel. So I'd say go for a different style, change it up a bit.

Well there is a little difference in design heres what mine would look like with black
http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/item/M1007T178B

But there are alot of other rims out there but not many i like. Like the 2010 shelbys and stuff look nice but i can see them become like the bullitt wheel in popularity and other rims will just see what happens down the road. Also dont want to pay a fortune for rims

do you want 18's or 17's? and i doubt the 2010 shelby's will get played out like the bullitts, the bullitt wheel has been around the block for what, over a decade since the New edges run them too? I mean you know i like them since i'm gonna snag me a pair but i don't think they will get played out, i'm getting them cause practically no one has them

But its all about what you are looking for. personally i really like the 9 or 9.5 inch wide rims, like the ones i want. It will enable a 275 tire all around, nice and meaty but still able to rotate. The bullitt rim you posted is indeed a different styling then the traditional bullitt rim like on the 17's you currently have so it would change the look a bit. but here are a few to browse through if you want. (i'm assuming you want black lol)

+1, you can get a good deal on takeoff and they are easily modified to fit brembos according to some info i read on S197 forum
