Ford Racing FR500 question
 
So I've been looking at the actual Ford Racing branded FR500's and I'm guessing they only come in 18's and no deep dish? Is that right? That's all I could find.

Well, do you want OEM quality? Or replica quality?

Thats what you ask yourself...

The ford ones wont start pitting or crack and peel the clear coat as easily.

yeah that's what I was looking into.. but you'd have to go with 18s and no dish :(

i've got the silver powdercoated wheels from ford. they do look good, though i haven't had a chance to see if the coating will wear. $670 for wheels and tires (BFG KDWII's). anyway, i like them a lot. they are heavier than stock, though. probably 7-10 lbs per wheel.

that all depends on how you take care of it. If you let dirt crust in the chrome then of course they'll crap out. But ford's quality isnt better than wheel replica's.

Sorry but these 120 dollar wheel replicas arent going to match fords OEM quality on rims. Or most any wheel replicas for that matter. I guarentee that OEMs will out last replicas as far ar problems or blemishes. Its a fact.
