Default Opinions on rims

Looking at getting some new wheels soon since two of mine are bent. Just seeing what you guys and gals think. They are 17 x 9 buy the way.

I guess that would help. Its a 01 Silver Convt. When I get a chance I need to re-size so they will fit. Will have up later

The second ones remind me of the old school BBS rims on the T/A's

well if you go to the link and click on their Forums button what does it do???? oh thats right it comes here haha. Just about everyone on this board has bought something from them. Plus all MUSTANG sights sell the same rims so its the same choice all over unless you go to some custom or import shop

I will probaly just go with the black fr500's from AM. 17x9 & 17x10.5 They will be about $300 less than either of the other rims, and look just as good.

Hell yeah, black FR500s ftw! IIRC it was just about $1100 for the 2 17x9's and 17.10.5s with 275/40/17s and 315/35/17s mounted and balanced.
