Which fr500s would go good on this car. The black or the anthracite?






The size is 17x9 and 17x10.5

Black... I am naturally biased against anthracite though, I think in most instances its kinda of blah. Its almost like clothes in that its a lot harder to match grey then it is to match black.

I am really thinking about the black ones. I was sort of leaning towards those before i asked.

I wish I could get a photoshop of all 3.

I think I am going to order the 17s in black tonight. I really would like the 18s but I don't want to spend that much on tires. Rather put the money somewhere else.

Are those FR500's from AFS? If not, I would suggest checking them out. Best prices around. I got my rims/tires from them and they're great.

I am not much of a chrome person. I am just affraid that they will start peeling and they cost more. I am getting these for $476 for 2 17x9 and 2 17x10.5 from mustangtuning.


Next I am going to need tires. They will have to wait a while but I am not sure which ones to get. I have been looking at some from tirerack.com

Sumitomo HTR Z
I was looking at the nitto but this is a daily driver and I wasn't sure about rain. Are there any other good ones that don't cost an arm and a leg?
