FR500 Wheel color? Cant decide

[06Gt]

So im looking into getting a set of FR500's (17x9 and 17x10.5) but i cant decide on the color. Im going back and forth on either the Silver rims or Anthracite rims. My car is Tungsten gray and lowered on Ford Racing springs. What do you guys think will look best?

i prefer the chrome ones...but i'm a little biased.

I was looking at those as well but i have to stay within budget lol The silver and gray ones are the same price.

Im gunna run 275-40-17 in the front and 315-35-17 in the back!

Chrome here as well!! But im biased!! lol.

 

[mac10chap]

yeah, i dont blame you. i think you can get replicas from american racing for around $150/rim. I got mine from Ford Racing...ran me around $400/rim.

kinda wish i would have gone replica now, would've saved some coin

 

[06Gt]

Yea im going with the replicas.

Why 17's? Just curious...

 

[06Gt]

Cheaper rims and WAY cheaper tires, especially in the size im going.

The 17x10.5s will stick way out. Those are the proper offsets for 94-04 models. Plus a 315/35/17 is a 25.68 inch tire. Will look way to small when these cars come with a 27 inch tire.

My car is also lowered. I use to run 315/35/17 dr's on a set of 10th anniversary wheels and it looked perfect. Filled in the fender very nice

^I'd go 18s with a taller tire... Unless you like small rims and low pros

 

[NotQuik]

they are small on these cars and if your getting them from an older mustang they will stick out in the rear.

18in tires are not overly expensive anymore

DR's are only slightly higher

18s ftw

Hell put 20s on it, just as cheap

I am getting them from an older mustang. What size tire are you runing in the back and front?

 

[NotQuik]

I just put those on there off my '95 to see what it would look like. They are 245-45-17's up front and 315-35-17 out back.

 

[06Gt]

I was thinking abut doing 275-40-17 up front but maybe not now since the 245's sit pretty flush. Maybe ill just stick with 255-40-17's in the front

Black Chrome FR500s FTW!

So these are the older mustamg off set?

 

[DKO]

Chrome? 17s? Don't be silly... how about all black?

They'll be for sale soon too....

Go anthracite. Here is a pic of my car with anthracite FR500.
