new GT4s better or worse than FR500s?

flyboy86 · Apr 15, 2007

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 · Apr 15, 2007

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.

everyone likes whats new..

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.

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.
