Default FR500 vs GT4 rims... Can't decide.

Hey, guys. Been a long time. I figured I'd get an opinion here since I'm on the fence.

I want to get a set of street wheels for my car. 18x9/10. I'm undecided between anthracite FR500's and hypercoated GT4's. I'm set on the colors, I just can't decide which style to go with. So I figured a poll would help.

For those of you that don't know, here's two pics of the GT4's.

I agree with cp here. But i do think that you see more fr500's than gt 4's. I like both of the rims tho either will look good on a black car

And hows your car running xemeth? Do anything new to it?

FR500s get my vote. Not really a fan of the GT4 wheels although I haven't seen as many compared to the 500s. Then again there might be a reason lol

I think I'm leaning slightly toward the GT4's, but I'm not sure yet.

Anyone have any pics of either of them on a black new edge?

hope it helps. FWIW i picked my wheels bc not many Stangs in my area had the FR's vs bullitts,saleens etc. Id take that into consideration. to be different.
