FR500s don't look that great in 17s IMO. gotta go with the 18".

They will only look good IMHO when you have the tires dressed and such. Looks pretty good though. Black chrome will give you the same effect kinda. And go staggered as mentioned above.

that was the original plan 18x9 and 18x10, they have plenty of 18x10s but the only 18x9 they have has mounting damage and they're going to give me a cal Monday to confirm if they have them or not.

yea black chrome looks nice but its not quite the same effect.


I agree the FR500's look sweet in 18" form.

If you're referring to the pictures in your first post those are actually black chrome.

Gt04, black chrome finishes vary from order to order. I replaced those rims with another set of black chromes from the same vendor (Lethal Performance) after two of them were damaged in an accident. The replacement four were a completely different color and look a lot lighter. I actually ordered another set this morning hoping to get a darker finish to match what is in the pictures. The variation in finish is why they recommend buying them in sets so they are matched.
