FR500's

Badfish · 05-29-2005, 09:38 PM

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.

Joe Friday · 05-30-2005, 11:48 AM

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

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.
:notworthy

swervo · 05-30-2005, 12:48 PM

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.

*Lances03SVT* · 05-30-2005, 12:54 PM

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.

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
