Guys I would assume that they can be bought from about any cragar supplier, I wish the pics did more the wheels than what they do, they really stand out on the car.

But the Bullits do not have the Smooth lip and when sitting beside a GT the difference are rather drastic.

The Cragar wheels differ greatly from the Bullitt wheels...

I looked on the Cragar site for your wheels, but didn't find them.

Cragar stopped making the style wheel you have from what I've been told. So GMMG uses the Bullitt replicas, thus why I made my statement . . . .

Andy, that is correct (my understanding as well trying to order these wheels from Cragar direct)................that is why Matt and I went together and had the Bullitt wheels re-created for us in the proper offset for a lowered F-Bodies.

OUTRANU, the wheels on your car look like the Bullitt wheels with a coned bearing cap. Your 'Bird wears them well BTW.

Default Wheels

The wheels in the picture do not belong to me OUTRANU. I am looking for these wheels now to go on my car. But yes they do look great on that car. The guy that owns that car has been posting on this thread as well. I'm sure he likes to hear how great they look. Thanks anyway.. Maybe in the future you will see mine on here with some bad *** wheels.

FYI, we just got a NIB set of 18 x 9" Chrome Crager wheels from a non-sponsor for only $549 for the Wife's 2001 SS. I can't post the name (that non-sponsor thing again) but they are often on eBay. They do however have the stepped lip that I didn't want to get but look very nice in the 18" size IMO. The stepped lip 17" wheels do not look an nice from what I have seen in person.

Here is a few pics of the Wife's toy.

LALT1:

Did you go to G10? I am almost certain that you rode back with a few of us from the Varsity Cruise back to the hotel. If so, I had no idea you had the Bullitt replicas on your car...Regardless, they looked BADASS!
