Keep or drop Fanblades for Magnum 500s?

KIMBO1 · Sep 16, 2009

I can't decide if these rims would look better on my car or just stick with the fanblades. What do you guys think? Please help me out on this, I can't decide. I'm not sure if the colors of my car would go with the 500s?

I have the fanblades and love them. Went out of my way to get a car with them. My vote is keep them.

I've never been a 500 guy - so many other good lookin wheels out there imo. keep the fans

And also digging these in the 20x9 and 20x10.

I like the 500's

I had the Magnum 500's on my 03 Mach 1 and replaced them with 03 Cobra wheels. I didn't ever really like the Magnum 500's, although I suppose they looked better than hubcaps way back when Buick used to use them in the late 1960's and early 1970's.

Like Stan said, I too went out of my way to buy a GT with the Fanblades as they're my favorite S197 factory wheel.

I love the 500's. Remind me of the old mach1 wheels.

Like these better, then the fanblades. 500's, not so much.

The 500s will definitely look better on your car.

I am another who believes the fanblades were the best looking factory wheel. However, I grew tired of them since they aren't a 10" deep dish wheel Since your car has that classic look, I can easily see putting a classic style wheel on there. The way my car looks now, there is no question it has out grown the factory fanblades! The black chrome FR500s definitely look the best!

KIMBO1 · Sep 17, 2009

Would my stock tires fit the magnums? 18x9, I have a stock 235/50/18.

I'm going to go with the Magnums! Classic style that works with our cars I think. I have seen a couple of Cervini B2's and they had them on there which looked awesome

That said I'd go with an 18in wheel as 20 is a tad too blang blang for my taste.

With the new wheels your car looks really mean, like it would eat any small child that would pass too close.

I still prefer the fanblades.

Yes, but the sidewalls will be stretched wide to fit. 255 would be much better fit.

When I had a 08 GT It came with Fan blades. I sold them for $600 With tires. and bought some chrome bullits. To each his own man.

Wind-Farmer · Sep 17, 2009

I do not like the 500's you have pictured. They, to old school for the look of the s197's.

The wheels in your second post are way better.

KIMBO1 · Sep 18, 2009

Well, Ended going with the 18x9 Chrome DD bullitts with the 275/40/18 all around. I will post pics when I get them on, thanks for input guys.
