Default Anyone have these wheels?

I currently have these:




well seeing as they are bent, and have salt corrosion on the chrome, I'm interested in some new wheels. I like these a lot:










Anyone have them? And want to post pics? i'd love to see how they look

Can't say I have those wheels but am having a wheel dilemma myself. I have a hard time believing in most wheels that AM or Stangmods or whatever has on the market. Other than your traditional bullet wheels, nothing really speaks "Mustang" to me. Or that american muscle look. Maybe I can't explain it, but everything looks either way too tuner-ish, or way too jigger-ish.

Chrome is hard to pull off on most cars. It looks good on black. Also, anything bigger than 20" (and most 20") do not belong on Mustangs. Sorry, looks dumb.

Just my little rant.

Those are very similar to FR500 style wheels. Just look to have a different center cap/hub.

I have seen a few people run running these in gunmetal color. I'm with mustangspotential on the wheel choices. Other then going with oem style wheels, good looking choices are limited. The way the wheel looks on the car depends a lot on the way the car looks itself. I would try to get some one in the chop shop section to throw those on your car first.

Out of those 3 choices, I like this one the best.

Thanks for the tip. I looked at the FR500's and they are similar. The FR500's have no center cap though, and thats what I really like about the ones I posted. Its a very classic look.

I would still like to see some cars with FR500's if anyone has pics?

I have seen the bottom wheel on a few cars and they look very nice.
