The FR500's come out to be $629.80 and '03 Cobras come to $1,195. Both 18" x 9" and 18" x 10.5"

Price-wise, the FR500's win hands down, but I'm completely torn on which ones to get. Anybody good with photoshop?

well I'm partily to the Fr500's. Only thing is they can be hard to find, I wanted chrome first choice wait was 5 months, then antracite 2-3 months, and then black they had them and could ship the week I ordered. Keep in mind I just got mine less than a month ago.
 
They do look sweet. But to tell you the truth, I absolutely hated the anthracite Bullitt wheels on our cars. I found it refreshing to see silver or chrome wheels for a change when I bought my car. So, I'm not sure if I will get tired of the anthracite or not. But as of right...they give me a chubbie!
 
I got my wheels from www.mustangtuning.com and I'm very pleased with them....I used to have Saleen replicas but I just got tired of 'em after a while...I get a lot of compliments on the deep dish look out back on the FR500...and people like the color...in the sun it looks like a cross between anthracite and polished aluminum.

what size tire do you have in the rear, yours look a bit small. i have my FR500's in the garage just need to get the tires.
 
fr500 is my vote. they are kind of styled like my bbs wheels.

id get them in black though with the polished lip though. black is my first color choice on those wheels!

I think the fronts are 265/35/18....rears are 285/35/18....If I had picked the tires they would have probably been 295/35/18's....but mustang tuning wouldn't put those on there before shipping :/


i went 285's, no that they are mounted 295's would have been better. im glad i didnt listen to tirerack, they kept saying 275's
