Anybody running 17" Cobra Bullit rims on a Duster

Just pondering this, guys.

American Racing offers 17x8, 17x9 Torque Thrust wheels with various backspacing these days...Legends is another brand. They're generally pretty affordable too.
Is it still considered worthwhile to get a set of used OEM Mustang Bullitt wheels, machine the hubs, run spacers, etc? Are these wheels that light or even all that cheap these days?

They still look great, IMO...but still..

The only way I would run the OE Mustang stuff is if I could get them super cheap. They're not really all that light, they're an OE wheel and OE wheels are always pretty heavy. I mean, they're aluminum and all but compared to aftermarket wheels they're not light.

The Legend wheels you can get on Summit have good backspace options, and they don't require any machining of the hub bores. They're pretty inexpensive too, so, I'd only run OE Bullits if I found them local for really cheap. Plus the Legends in the 17" size look a little bit more like the older AR Torque Thrusts, the Bullit's have a more modern look and less dish.
