Sold my Anthracite FR500s and picked up a set of Black FR500s.
I'm pretty happy with this new look.
Just got it home and snapped the first pics:

Thanks.

I'm going to pick up a new set of tires over the winter. Probably the new Falken FK-452 tires.
I can go wider but I'm limited by the 1/2" clearance with my tailpipes. I'll definitely have to do my research on widths. I want to get the max width for the rim but need to maintain clearance. I may be limited.

It's weird that some tires of the same size actually measure wider than each other. Any suggestions?

Sweet man! Looks like I can go swimming in that paint! Nice choice on the wheels. Cool flares too!

Thanks.

Believe it or not, that's the original paint. I bought it new back in '94 and took good care of her - in and out.

It pays off for sure.

Car looks great! I'm very jealous of the paint as well
But couldn't you have just painted the anthrocite ones black rather than buying new wheels?

+1 on the jeep

Thanks, I appreciate the kind words.

I thought about it, but it really cost me very little to get the new ones. I sold the Anthracite ones for $20 less than I paid for the Black ones. They had a "free shipping" special going on, so that made the decision really pretty simple.

I'm a lot happier with these.
