[sm=drooldude.gif] Absolutley Georgeous Man!!

How do you think those would look on a vista blue GT?

So these arent quite the same as the Ford GT wheels then, are these Polished or Chrome?

Just worked for me and they do look great! It takes a while to work and shaking the mouse helped my frustrations!

The REAL FR500 wheels are made by Fikse. They are forged, and they are also extremely lightweight. I belive they are 15-16 lbs, as opposed to 21 for the stock 17s. Unfortunatley, the deal deal is also $1300+ per wheel. OUCH.

I am running the replicas, which look very similar, weigh about the same as stock, and only cost about $140 a pop. Much better!

I picked up the replica FR500 wheels as well. Bought them from Dynatek Racing gloss black 18x9.

The real FR500c wheels also require new studs, which is why I will just be ordering HRE Comps instead

Mine are the FR500's purchased directly from Ford Racing. I got them through discount tire. The rims mounted perfectly with no spacers or anything. They ran right around $400/rim but since I have a buddy that works down there, I got the tires added on for $100 a piece. They are BFGoodrich G-Force T/A KDWS 275/35/ZR18's
