My mom has been trying to order a set of 18X9/18X10 bullitt replica wheels for her bullitt and its proving to be a daunting task. Everywhere we call says that they are on backorder with no concrete release date. After some searching I came to find out that American Racing wheels has recently come out with a Torque Thrust M which looks very similar to the replica wheels everyone used to sell. Apparently after doing so they started seeking legal action and are suing all of the replica wheel makers. So, she is sort of stuck now. I have a call into a number of wheel replica places and they are supposed to call me back as soon as they know anything, but my mom's birthday is on April 1st and she wants the wheels as a B-day present.
So, has anyone seen the new Torque Thrust M's yet? I'm a little leery to tell her to get them without seeing them in person or up close. I've looked at them on their website, but its too small of a picture to tell how closely they resemble the replica ford bullitt wheel in terms of spoke and lip width. I HATE that they put the shelby logo in the center. BLAH! I just hope that the factory center cap will fit.
Here's a link to the new American Racing wheel:
