Would like some opinions on new wheels

georgio440 · Mar 19, 2009

Hey guys, I'm looking to purchase some new wheels this summer to replace the stockers. I'm definitely going to go with a staggered setup (17x9/17x10.5 or 18x9/18x10). It would set off my car a lot, and would compliment the Cobra brakes with the 10th anniv. calipers. I don't tend to go for black with a polished lip, but any suggestions are appreciated. I was thinking of getting 18" FR500s in silver and having them painted satin black (lip painted, as well). Anyways, here's a picture of my car to give you guys an idea. Post pics if you have them!

Here is a pic of mine w/ 17x9 and 17x10.5.

I know you said no black w/ a polished lip. So i am assuming you are gonna do what The dude with the silver GT did to his?(sorry man can't think of name). Maybe someone can photoshop it for you. FR's look really good IMHO. The internet makes them seem played but there's only one other dude around here with them that i know of, and i think he got rid of them

anthracite fr500 would be

i think the stockers look great on that car....thats a sick looking car as is

mustang50v8 · Mar 21, 2009

did someone say anthricite fr500's?

its true though, the internet does make them seem played...i really havent seen many on the streets aside from other mustang meets. i see TONS of DD bullits and 03-04 cobra wheels though on all different kinds of mustang all over.

oewheels sells them too, i would check them out

Looks good. Nice ride. Those rims look perfect for that car.

TropicMustang · Mar 21, 2009

Wait till i get my rims before you buy someting and ill let you try them on and see how you like em.

georgio440 · Mar 21, 2009

Yeah, that's what I'm gonna do.

On a side note, I really like the Anthracite FR500s. Your car looks badass, 50.

georgio440- i know you said u dont usually like black wheels but i think the fr500's in black 18' would look amazing on your car. black on black. Or even 18' black saleen wheels. tha would look mean as hell!!!! just my opinion

98COBRA281 · Mar 21, 2009

silver fr500's

georgio440 · Mar 21, 2009

Jeff, I love all black wheels, such as the Saleens or Terminators. Black with a polished lip is what I don't tend to go for.

And Cobra, those FRs really set your car off. It's come a long way since I've started posting here.

Stray152 · Mar 21, 2009

To be honest man, i think the stockers look pretty sweet on your car already. Almost everyone has aftermarket rims nowadays. And ... maybe it is just on the web that it seems played out, but i still wouldnt be impressed to see FR500s or bullits ona car in real life. The only rim i would move to would be 18" S Styles in Silver, not chrome. But theyre a bit expensive. I think the stockers give your car a kinda gritty GT look... i dont know if that makes sense to anyone else haha but i like it the way it is. Your almost stock looking, but youve got some customizations, thats the way to go about it. Take the 1k and spend it on performance.

I dont know how performance necessary the wider rims are though.

Green&GoldGT · Mar 21, 2009

I agree with keeping the stockers, they are light. You should put money toward a hood scoop or aftermarket hood.

02nightmaregt · Mar 21, 2009

Well if the stockers were wider and were made in a DD then i would agree with above posters but stangs ALWAYs look great with DD rears
