I am looking at the fr 500 chrome wheels 18x9, 18x10 replicas any bad or good experiences or knowledge is appreciated.
There are two types or brands one with an "M" & one with an "R" on the center cap. Which one is a better wheel as far as the chrome finish.
I don't want to buy these and the chrome start peeling off after a year.

A lot of people here use that brand of wheel, so I'm guessing that it's a good company. I'm even thinking of getting some Chrome Deep Dish Bullitts from the same people.

I have the "R" version of the Bullitts and so far no problemsHad them since February and the only complaint would be....I get looks from people like they wanna GTA my Stang LOL

If and WHEN u do get them, dont forget to remove the retaining clip from the rotors or you're car will vibrate at higher speeds.

I have the black chrome FR500's .... and I love the wheel...

The person that helped me get them broke my heart....but the wheel is awesome.

Not to highjack the thread, but do you have any good pics of those black chrome FR500's, as I was considering them.

SaddleUp

Maybe this will help~!!!!

Those look great, thank you very much, and since our demands have been met, we don't need to take this thread to Cuba.

SaddleUp

Not quite sure what that means....but if you're happy.....GREAT~!

I haven't heard anything bad at all from those who have purchased rims from American Muscle. I personally have had a bad experience with replica rims however. I bought a set of Black Saleen replicas (older 5 spoke style) on ebay from acompany in Sarasota, FL.Atleast one of the rims are bent. I then began looking more closely through their ebay comments and found several other people who said the same.

Stay away from that company. You should be safe going through American Muscle. That's where I'll get mine next time.

Just showing my age, in older movies, the highjackers always wanted to go to Cuba.
But again thanks for the pic, now just need to save some money, and decide on tires.
