Default WHEELS: AMERICAN MUSCLE OR COOL BLUE PEROFRMANCE-QUALITY WISE

I am looking at FR500 wheels and AM is $182 cheaper for a set of Chre wheels. Big difference. Blue has nice actual pics, AM does not have pics that I can find. I believe there have been some issues with the quality of American Muscle wheels. Please feedback from real life users of these compaines and CHROME!

I've haven't heard many people complain about AM...in fact, you'll hear a lot more people singing their praises about their usually excellent customer service if and when they screw something up.

AMERICAN MUSCLE- I have gotten a tone of parts from them with great service. I have had terrible "luck" with cool blue. Refer to this thread for my experience: https://mustangforums.com/m_2533538/...tm.htm#2534453

I had some recent experience with Cool Blue Performance. I purchased control arms from them (great price, Free shipping). Problem was i waited 3 weeks, called 4 times Talked with Anthony who never called back with a tracking number, and no responce from emails. When i called them, 80% of the time the aswering machine pics up. Then when i finally talked to Anthony his attitude was like "why are you calling me."

Cool Blue Performance has crap customer service and no ability to follow up. So if you like praying and hoping that your parts will come then i say buy with them. Otherwise STAY AWAY!

Plus they dont stock any of their parts. They put the order into the manufacture andthey shipp it. Thats why they wont give you a tracking number!

AM is where I got my chrome wheels from. Not one problem!! Don't forget to put in mustangboards for an 6% discount!
AM FTW

I had almost the exact experience- absolutely horrible customer service and buisness ethics.

I have never had a problem with american muscle. I have ordered multiple things from them, including my wheels, and been happy each time, and they have always shipped right away.
