Default Faceoff: FR500 vs. '03 Cobra

Here's my dilemma: I have a black '02 GT and I just ordered the stage 3 front bumper and silver racing stripes. It will look just like this car. But I can't decide what wheels to get. It's either the '03 Cobra replicas in chrome or Anthracite FR500s. Whatever I get will be 18" staggered. Vote and let me know your opinions! Thanks!

Here are some quick photoshops..

Get the 03 cobras in 17x9 and 17x10.5 and save yourself alot of money,you have a much better selection of tires to choose from in a 17.If your wanting 315's for the rear your looking at $300+ a tire.

I think the FR's would look badass with your mods, especially with DD.
