new GT4s better or worse than FR500s?

[flyboy86]

So of course a week after I buy the hypercoated FR500s, americanmuscle.com decides to release a new style. Now I hafta convince myself that I still like the FR500s better. What do you guys think of these new GT4s?

Those GT4 wheels are hot!! I also have FR500's & I love them, but I will admit that I like those more. But until they release them in a deep dish 18x10, I wouldnt buy them. Dont be disappointed that you bought the FR500s because even though a ton of people have them on Stangnet, you dont see very many of them on the street. And I get compliments every day on my FR's. By the way, you did get staggered 18x9 & 18x10 right?

 

[flyboy86]

Yeah, I got the 18x9s for the front, and the deep dish 18x10s in the rear. Thats all thats making me think that I still made the right decision, because they only offer the 18x9s for these new ones.

Those GT4's are nice, but FR500's are pretty close. U made a good decision because 18x9's aren't enough to fill up the rear wheelwells. Plus you got those cool lookin hypercoated ones. I wish they had those when I bought mine a year ago. I have only seen 1 other mustang in my city (sacramento, ca.) that has FR500's, so that makes me like them even more. I think the GT4 is just a replica version of the Ford GT supercar wheel.

I like these better because they have a deep dish lip.

A few bucks more but worth it. BTW these guys have had these wheels out for awhile. I was thinking about getting them before I went with the Konigs.

WOW!!! Wish I could get those.

while i like the GT4's, their lack of a deep dish disappoints me.

stick with the FR500, unless theres alot of people in your area running them. in my area, the Bullitt and Cobra R hype is still in full swing.

if it were the other way around you would want what you dont have...












but hell yeah they are bad ass..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not really a fan of either set of rims.

Im a huge fan of the thruxton TSW wheels. I saw them at the NY auto show the other week and just fell in love with the ultra deep dish.

They are pretty expensive tho. But i want them. I think they would look killer on a slammed stang.

 

[thomas91169]

if they are 20's theyll go real nice in a 05+. too big for a SN95 chassis.

I think those rims stick out too far. I like the FR500s better.


I would kill for the BBS RK Plasma rims though

There's a guy on here with a black sn95 and black GT4's, it looks sick!
I considered getting those before i got my wheels, but no deep dish and only 18's FTL.
