    so i love my FR500's and i know alot of others love these wheels as well. i also know that others think these wheels are played out. and still some people are leaving the "Ford" wheel knock off's and getting more into the "exotic" styles/brands of wheels.


    what happens when one of these "exotic" companies rip off a ford design?

    IMO, they look only mildly similar. I still like the FR500s MUCH better. :nice:

    And the FR500's look similar to a style of wheel used on European cars in the 90's. Trying to find a photo but can't.

    Do want!

    They don't look enough like FR-500's to cause a problem IMO. THey look less similar than Tourqe Thrusts and Bullitts do.

    I like those in the titanium powdercoated color. Would look bad*** on a black stang. Can't afford. :( *le sigh*

    As stated before, the FR500's were modeled after Euro wheels.

    It's pretty hard to find a truly unique wheel design. And most of em are ugly.

    thats true, i re-read my post, and it did seem like i thought that ford should go after them, but thats not what i meant at all. i was just saying that it looked like a good wheel company made a knockoff of a ford wheel

    Posted via Mobile Devicethe black ones would look hot as f**k on a white car. They have a lot nicer wheels than that though for the money. Picture really don't do any of the wheels on their page any justice. You really need to see them in person to truely appreciate
