FR500's
 
Honestly what does everybody see in this rim...i personally they look ricer/ugly.. opinions...

Smitty 05-29-2005 10:01 PM

You are the first person to say in your opinion that they are rice. I've heard biased opinions on them but to each their own.

I like them. But not my first choice.

Badfish 05-29-2005 10:25 PM

well they have that milti/thin spoke that looks ricey...my freinds agree

MattJ 05-29-2005 11:19 PM

Id probably get em over any of the cobra rims but i love my oem bullitts!
:notworthy

they look better in person than on the web. especially the deep dish

swervo 05-30-2005 05:31 AM

I personally like them. Still undecided between FR500 and Bullitts though.

I was in the same situation, I chose black bullitts due to their availability. FR500s were on back order. FR500s are going to be the nice bullitts wheel (popularity wise) You will be seeing them everywhere.

havent made my mind up yet either, would have to see them a few more times in person. i think they're just about as far as I would go stoping juuuuust short of looking ricey

dmark101 05-30-2005 09:41 AM

i've seen them a few times in person and i was considering picking up a set to replace my 00R's, but decided i didn't need another set of wheels clogging up the garage.

they're not bad looking, hardly rice.

I've loved the rims since I saw them on the orgional FR500 car. I plan on picking up a set to replace my OEM 03' cobras. I love the bullits as well but they are everywhere. It's hard to make a mustang stand out these days :D

swervo 05-30-2005 12:20 PM

Which one would look better on my car. The black or the anthracite ones?

Deep dish anything looks good though.

I was looking at the pictures of the anthracite ones and the front ones dont match the deep dishes. Theyre like two different shades. I could be wrong and it might be the lighting, so Im not sure.

Its the lighting I'm sure.Look at the Black Bullet pics of the 18x9 and 18x10 and they look different too,but they are the same.

Joe Friday 05-30-2005 01:45 PM

YEah they are the same. My roomate got the bullits in that color, and they looked slightley diffrent on the net, and when he got them they were exactley the same

Badfish 05-30-2005 03:39 PM

i dunno what u guys see in them

MattJ 05-30-2005 04:17 PM

All the better to make a big brake upgrade stick out.
:notworthy

Badfish 05-30-2005 05:53 PM

lol yeah that is a pretty good reason

MattJ 05-30-2005 06:57 PM

Ya id probably go with fr500s if I didnt love bullitts.
bullitts > *
:happy7:

MachGT 05-30-2005 07:26 PM

I think they look very good.

rebelyell 05-30-2005 08:45 PM

They look ok. I prefer the bullitt rims because I think they look very similar to the old style Cragar 5 spoke rims that were so dominate in the 70's and 80's. I can remember when it used to be Keystone vs. Cragar with most peoples cars as far as looks were concerned. you didnt have many other choices for aftermarket rims.

WikidStang 05-30-2005 08:54 PM

I want some black FR500 18" for my car...But Im considering going with some Black 00r's or something like that...I want a rim that will be different like the lightning rims.

cobra4123 05-31-2005 05:12 AM

i think they make the car look more like a touring car. or road race

rada 05-31-2005 02:00 PM

Not my 1st choice either, but doesn't look rice to me.

venom 05-31-2005 02:57 PM

I dont think its rice either, the rice ones have alot of spokes in a fanned out pattern.

crzhrse 05-31-2005 07:40 PM

I have the black 18x9s black with polished lip straight from ford racing, see waaaaaay too many cars with the cobra R wheels

WikidStang 06-01-2005 12:08 AM

Ok, scratch that thought...I want something to stand out...and these black FR500's are getting popular.
