i would go with a new set all around that way you can rotate the tires and keep an even wear. Unless money is no object.

however with deep dishes you wouldn't be able to rotate unless you re-mounted and balanced the tires...

I still haven't decided lol. I don't care about being able to rotate them or not. I keep looking at that photochop with the FR500's and I think it looks damn good. Hmmmmm

I agree. On that color, the anthracite is very nice. Not dramatic, but not bland.

man, I'm seriously going to buy wheels now lol.. but I still don't know what to buy. I swear, this has been the hardest decision I've had to make for my car yet. I'm seriously leaning towards those Anathracite FR500's.. they look hot in that last chop. But there's one thing I don't like.. it looks like in a few of the pics I've seen of that color of wheels.. they don't look like the stock bullitts coloring on my car.. the FR500's look more brownish I guess. Anybody else notice this?

I think alot of it is just the lighting making them look that way.I think the Hypercoated or the chrome would look better though.I saw alot of Stang's with the anthrasite FR500's at the WFC and personally I did'nt care for them.The polished or chrome 03 Cobra's with the 10.5 in the rear would look awesome.

I have the FR500s from Ford Racing before they started making the knock offs. Wish i could have got them would have saved me a couple hundred but. I love the way they make my car look. I wish i was the only one with them but that's what happens when something looks good everyone wants them. I would go with the FRs for sure but 18" deep dish. If you really want 17s for the weight get the bullets they will look better. The FRs looked weird in 17s. Have you ever seen the 16" cobra r wheels really strange looking same kind of deal.

I don't know why really.I like the chrome one's alot but not sure about the other's.I really like DSG with either black or chrome.I really like the 2000 R wheel's also.A guy here has them and they really shine up damn good.

If I was buying wheel's today it would either be the Black Chrome 03 Cobra's or the FRRP 00R wheel's.They had some FRRP 00R's at the Ford tent at the WFC that looked damn sweet!!
