I love fr500's, but I know what you mean. When everyone and their 96 year old grandmothers were getting bullitt's rims I was thinking the same thing about those that you are about the fr500's. I just wish I could get the full Fr500 body kit.

On a side note I have Cobra R's with bolts going around the lip.. I love em!

Everyone and their mother (including me) is running a 5 star pattern on their stangs. The FR500's offer a great alternative. I will be making the switch soon. Luckily for me though, no one out here in SWFL has em (That I have seen).

I want to see the GT500 wheels on a 99-04. I think they would look better than the FR500s do

I don't much care for them either. I prefer the 5 star look and really like the bullets and cobra styles.

Exactly...I think I have only seen the Fr500's on like two other mustangs in my city (sacramento, Calif) & there are tons of stangs runnin around out here.

I like 'em.I think they are one of the nicest spoked style wheel for the stang.
But i still like my Bullitts.Goes with the whole classic look to me.Classic body lines,but yet modern,same for the wheels,classic look but modernized with the size and width.

Too many ppl have FR500's. I think I'll switch to someone more rare, like Bullitts.

I liked them to start (and actually had a set ready to go on) but in the end didn't think they were suited for a daily driver. They've got more of an exotic look to them and that's not what I was going for. I like subtle, yet muscular....so I went with a set of early Cobra's.
