Hey guys. I want to order the replica FR500 wheels 17X9 in anthracite from www.mustangtuning.com. They are only 129 with free shipping. I have never used replica wheels. MY only concern is...do they hold up? Will the finish last on them? I only drive the car in good weather, and I clean my wheels all the time. I am just a little leary about replica's. The real FR500 wheels are 18x9 and a re 200 bucks each. I don't want to go that route.

I put MT's replica black Bullits in 17x10.5 on the back of the wife's 96. They look just as good as the OE Ford black Bullits on the front. I would recommend them to you.

That sounds good. My buddy had replica Cobra R's. They were OK, but they pitted in the lug areas and pitted in the inner parts where the breaks are. I guess that is just what happens to chrome. Well, I think I like the way they look on the FOX bodies, so it looks like replica's it is! Thanks.

I got 18" black deep dish bullits from mustang tuning. Had radial and lateral runout checked on special hunter machine with excellent uniformity. To new to tell how finish will last but looks good so far.

I just got mine, they are the deepdish FR500 with the Hypercoated finish. The finish is really nice. I do agree with the shipping issues. I don't have them mounted yet cause I am waiting for two that I sent back(ordered the wrong size).
