I was thinking about getting some 17 inch anthracite FR500 wheels with deep dish in the back. Should I do it?

Sorry, but I'm just not a fan of the FR500s. I'd rather see Saleen or Cobra wheels

Just my opinion but some Deep Dish Bullitt out back while you keep your stockers with the same color would look sooo nice... Plus you only have to buy 2 new rims versus 4...

I dunno, should you do it? Have you no opinion of your own?
If you want what everyone else wants then by all means go for the FR-500s or the deep dish rear Bullitt rims. Then you'll have just one more Mustang with FR-500 rims or Bullitt rims. If that is what you want, then go for it. You'll fit right in with every other Mustang.

FR500's look like crap when they're 17's. They need to be 18".

And anthracite wheels + DSG =

Not a fan of FR500s either. I love 04GreyGtUSAF's recommendation of the DD bullitts - especially if you want to stay 17s and save weight and cost of the tires themselves.
