i dont post much and when i do its never really opinion threads but im finishing up my 5 lug, disc brake swap and ive settled on the fr500 rims but not sure which color. i know, theres no pics but there will be soon. my 89 is a red hatch with the blk body trim. im leaning towards silver in 17x9. anyone else have an opinion or a similar pic?

I generally prefer Anthracite to silver personally.

Hypercoated. That's how my FR500's are. They look great in that color

yea, the hypercoat would be nice...if i could find them in 17x9. 93project, what tires are you running? the larger wheel would be even tighter in my 89s wells.

It's only an inch or two. What's the big deal?

I'm thinking when I do my 5 lug conversion I may go with the anniversary Cobra wheels. Anthracite definitely.

On those rims I'd vote "anthracite"!

Tires are 245/40 18, and 275/40 18. You couldn't fit these with rolled fenders?
