Default 17" Black Fr500 rims vs. 17" 03 Chrome Cobra rims for my Azure Blue Mach

I'm about to buy rims for my Mach, but can't decide. Its between these 2 choices. And no, I don't want to go 18".

lol I know man, but i sawcobras on a mach recently and they looked sick. Will my speedo be messed up with a 315 10.5" rim in the rear? How do the 315's look from behind when your driving, cause I don't want it to look stupid wide lol.

Personally, with your color chrome normally compliments it better than black, but with your blackout theme I would DEFINATELY go black or it will clash and look too busy, almost like a car with too many decals.

Also IMO chrome FR500s just don't look like they have enough wheel. I would look more into deep dish chrome machs or bullitts.

This is just my opinion though. If you don't want to peel off the blackout tint I would go with black FR500s. That would look great!

I know after paying about $50+ for the tint and then peeling it off sucks. After about 2 weeks of having blackout on my headlights I decided to take it off since it just didn't blend with the car.

As stated before, black FR500s FTW or peel the black out tint and go chrome.

Oh, and I've got 315s on the back of mine. They look fooking fantastic! I'll probably go with a 335 next time around. I don't believe it will mess with your mph, so you don't have to worry about that.

I think black fr's would look sick on that car. it looks kick a$$ right now. not only would the black ones match the car theme it'd match your dog too

neither... both are played out...

get some 10.5 machs in the rear..

understated but still obvious that you have a wider tire...


I have FR's and i'm getting tired of seeing every other mustang with FR500's...


spend the extra money on a slight drop...
