Black FR500 Rims (Post Pics)

[21MsclCr]

Hey everyone. I just bought a 2007 Mustang GT, Its dark blue and came with 18 inch Bullitt rims. I am looking at buying the black with polished rim FR500 rims. I was wondering if anybody had pictures of theirs or someone elses with the fr500s on. I would really like to see them on the blue so I can make sure I like them. I am most likely getting 18x10 deep dish in the back, and 18x9 in the front. What do you think?

Please post pics and thank you for your help!

What would be nice is a set of all black FR500s.

I disagree. Just my opinion, of course, but black wheels need a polished lip, otherwise they just look dirty. Lighter colored cars can get away with it, but definitely not darker colors like blue. If your car is black and you're going for a blackout, I get the idea, but I still don't like it without a polished lip. Again, it just looks dirty. Looks like police cruiser steelies.

Wow yours defiantely looks great thank you! Should I go with a bigger wheel? Or do you think 18 is the best? And regarding the all blacks, I have never found an all black fr500 rim but I found a rim that looks like it and it didnt look horrible it actually looked good but I think I like the polished lip more too

Again, that's a personal issue. Myself, 20's don't belong on Mustangs. Especially with FR500s... The design gets very distorted when they turn it into a 20, and it doesn't have the same racey look that it has as a 17" or 18".

Darkfire, are you rears 295/45/18 or 295/40/18?

 

[21MsclCr]

No I agree with you I am not a huge fan of 20s I was just wondering cuz the rear tire looks really big. It looks good Im just not sure if I want it that big.

295/45 same as KoolDawg.

Speaking of, he hasn't been around much as of late.

 

[Towelly]

No he has not. He sometimes pops into another forum I'm on as well and he hasn't done that either.

I hope nothing is wrong. His car, as well as yours, have been inspiration for many future plans for my car.

all black looks like steelies. especially with nice shiny silver colored lugs, they should be painted too.

 

[21MsclCr]

Yeah the all black fr500s definately look good, Im just not sure how great theyd look on my blue. I think it would be mmissing something. I havent been able to fine the all black on the internet though

 

[autumn_again]

i dunno, at my work the comp the wheels kinda remind me of

i think it needs the polished lip to break it up.

 

[DarkFireGT]

My thoughts as well, autumn. I'm not much for black wheels to be honest. For some reason I took the chance with the black/polished FR500's, and it paid off.

 

[autumn_again]

yeah your car looks great with it.

all black is too plain.

black with polished lip looks great,depending on the color.

with your theme it looks awesome. especially with the gas cap.

 

[08blueskunk]

These are kinda cool with the painted pin stripe. Anything to help break it up a little

 

[autumn_again]

i love that car.
