Trying to decide between 2 different types of Wheels - HELP

smp4502004 · Jun 9, 2010

I have a 2003 Black Mustang GT Vert, and I am trying to get some new wheels for it, but can't decide between 2 different wheels. I really like the 18" Black FR500s with 18x9 in front and 18x10 in back, then I also just saw some 18" Black 10th Anniversary Cobra wheels that I really liked as wheel with the same setup front and back as the FR500s.

Let me know what you guys think, thanks in advance.

I personally prefer the look of the FR500's. I don't like the 10th anniversary wheels at all, although they do look nice on fox bodies. Also, I'm not a big fan of black wheels on a black car. Silver, polished, and hypercoated look best on black IMOP.

May as well take this opportunity to whore my car... 18x9/10" silver FR500's.

I would have to agree with N8Dogg on that one. That thing looks spotless!

Nobody should ever use black rims on their stang, cause it makes mine look more exotic and unique!

I need a better camera so you can see the details in the pics.

FR500's

I've never liked the Anniversary Cobra wheels.

Black rims can often look good on light colored cars and even on some darker colored cars, but I don't think black rims belong on a black car at all.

IMOP FR500's only look good if you get the staggered set that have the deep dish rears. I've seen 18x9's at all 4 corners and something about it just doesn't look right.

Opinions on wheels are very subjective.I would prefer to have
18X9 FR500's all around because you can rotate them and not
have to replace all your tires sooner.

Silver 17x9,17x10.5 FR500's and dont look bad IMO 18's look too big on our cars but thats just my opinion

Opinions are very subjective, but don't forget the OP asked for opinions. While it is more practical to have the same size wheel on all 4 corners, I myself along with others on this site don't think FR500's look that great unless the rears are DD. There are some wheels (03-04 cobra, Saleen, Cobra R, etc..) that look great when all 4 are the same size, just not the FR500's.

17x9/10.5 look great too You also have the added benefit of less expensive tires. I certainly am not looking forward to buying new tires on my 18x9/10's.
