FR500 wheel help!

Gearhead91 · Jul 10, 2007

Does anyone know where they sell the fr500 deep dish wheels with a lip in the back AND FRONT?

I know i saw them before somewhere. I'm looking for 18-9/10 hypercoated with a lip front (not as big as back) and back.

I think they match better with each other. It's one of those things that many people overlook when they buy 'em. I hope someone out there knows what I'm talking about!

Thanks!

I guess you could just get the 18x10s for front and rear, if thats what you want. Good choice with the hypercoated FR500s Personally, I think it looks better with the deep dish in the rear only, but to each his own.

Well whichever you want, you can get them from americanmuscle.com. Four 18x10s, four 18x9s, two of each, three of one, one of the other, etc

I got my FR500s for $588 shipped from cruzinconcepts

the FR500's, unless specified as DEEP DISH, have a standard polished lip.

DO NOT get deep dish on all 4 corners. its the ugliest and ghettoest thing you will ever see. guy across the street from me has a cousin brother whatever with a yellow mach1 with black deep dish 18" bullitts on all 4. most horrendous choice ever. first time i saw it was like "dude, youre only supposed to put the deep dish out back, mainly for the ability to mount a wide ass tire, also because it looks nice, a 10" wide tire up front really isnt going to help you in many things other than full on road course"

Fronts:

Rear:

It would look horrible to have 18X10 all the way around, but if a company made 18x9 front deep dish, I think it would look sick. look at alot of the expensive wheels have a medium lip in front & an extra deep lip in the rear...i think its bad@$$!!!

agreed.

if you could get the backspacing to work so that a 10" deep dish wheel fit inside the front fenders than that would be nice.

this guys fronts stuck out like some low rider.

I didnt mean a 10' in front..I meant if the made dd 18X9's 4 the front that would be sweet.... 18X10's all the way around would remind me of the 80's when it was popular to have your rims sticking out past the fenders with chrome mudflaps & curb feelers...

To each his own....but horrendous? Ghetto? Haven't heard either of those comments yet, and I doubt I ever will.

And an 18X10 won't fit in the front without a wide body fender.

Ya, the weather hasn't been really agreeing with us here lately. Rainy in the morning, then sunny in the afternoon. Does wonders for water spots, especially on black paint

I've been so busy lately just trying to keep the damn car clean and to finish my HID project, I got no time for pics lol.

EPIK · Jul 11, 2007

well the car looks good anyhow!!!

bullitt_2620 · Jul 11, 2007

I think the deep dish all the way round will look absolutely sick...I dunno where anyone got ghetto from...whoever. I would think that you would have rubbing issues with 10s in the front, unless you could get some custom backspacing made and run a small tire. DO IT!!
