Default FR500 black rims?

97GT white with black top vert. I want 17x9 and 17x10.5

What do you think about that? Would it look good or not? Opinions please

fr500's would look sick, you could look into black chrome too you may like them. But besides the 500's i would say black bullitts

Yeah, i think that would look good on your car. Of course you have many other options as well in those rim sizes.

Fr500's are just nice. It's a win.

Though I do like 03 Cobra's. I think those look pretty good.

Look up pics. Any Mustang wheel (bullitts, saleens, FR500s, cobras, etc) are going to look good, its a matter of personal preference. Black wheels on a white car do look sick tho. There was a thread not too long ago asking about wheels on a white GT. Not an sn-95, but you can get some ideas.

However in my eyes, if you are spending the money on new wheels, get 18s while you are at it.

I would go with 18's if they have 10.5's but I can't find them on AM. Besides I'm planning on lowering the car so getting 17's would get me better space to lower it, wouldn't it?

I fo like cobras and bullet rims but everyone has those. Too common. I also want slotted rotors and the 500's would leave a lot of negative space for the show of the slotted rotors.

Not really. You would get a thicker sidewall with 17's so it almost makes it the same as 18's with a thinner sidewall. I have the H&R Super Sports which lower almost 2 inches and I have no clearance problems whatsoever with my 18x10 and 18x9 black FR500's

i think with your top being black it would look sweet with them being black. it would tie the car together. i always liked the look of white and black.
