Default Rim questions

i dunno why they call hten spinner style caps becuz they dont spin but i was wonder if this i found on ebay would fit on a 94-04 rim the fr500 to be specfic... i tho a black rim with that lil bit of chrome on it would look realy nice on a red car... i dunno... here is the link the the spinner caps
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/05-Mu...spagenameZWDVW

also im looking at this rims here i was wondering is a 18X10 would lookin good on the front also... or if the deep dish rim only looks good on the bak... basically i am thinking about goin 18x10 deep dishes all around... not just in the bak... its a red 95 and im goin to drop it a lil... so how do u all think deep dishes would look on hte front in the bak

They were used on 1966 Mustangs, so they made these to give some new mustangs a Retro look and as I normally never say this "I agree with Adder, they are ugly!"

ok i understand now... i thot u both were shooting down the rims... yeai am unsure of hte caps.... i was just an idea... guess a bad one.... what about deep dish fr500 all around instead of just in the bak... how do u think it woudl look??... well any deep dish rim really... does it look goofy to have deep dish rims in the front.... i dunno what do u all think..... by the way ill take the advice and scrap the cap idea... ill just get somce nice SVT black caps they look nice on a black rim... IMO newayz... and it is a cobra so i see no harm in SVT caps

yeah that would look good. don't get the aftermarket FR500's you can't fit the Cobra R Brembro's on those. Get FRPP FR500's. That is of course unless you weren't planning on upgrading your brakes
