Check out the FR500 wheels we just installed on a customer's '01 Bullitt. Tires are 275/40/18 Bridgestone Potenza S03 Pole Position. As much as I like the Cobra R wheel ('95 and '00) for looks and functionality, everyone has them. I predict the FR500 wheel will be the hot new thing!

They're 26lb. each, and they only come in 18"x9". The Bullitt is at the stock ride height, and it really fills out the wheel wells nicely. When we lower the car, it'll look even better!

I just saw these wheels for sale in the new MM&FF today and thought they looked pretty good, BUT I think that ring in the middle is way to big.

Exactly, they look a *little* off on the Mustang.

You are not alone.
No sir, I don't like them [Roll Eyes]

But it all boils down to "To each his own"

Hell, I'm still rollin' on Ponies  -

They look alright from a distance, but up close I think they're ugly..

They would probably look better in chrome.

Call me crazy, but I don't like the way they look either. There are many other wheels available for Stangs that look a million times better.

Damn those would look nice on my fox, I think I will end up with BBS though.

The car needs to be lowered and that's a shitty picture. I bet they'd look good on a fox, I have yet to seen one with those wheels, and a kit.

From far away they look like the 10 spoke Camaro SS rims. They look clean though.

once it's dropped it will look really good. they look pretty good to me. once the price drops a little more i'll probably by a set.
