which rims should i choose?

once i get my chin spoiler on, i'm planning on saving up to get some new rims. i'll be selling my 18X9 chrome bullitts soon.

here are my options and i would like to hear some opinions:
18X9 front, 18X10 rear Black Chrome Saleens


18X9 front, 18X10 rear Black Chrome GT500 wheels (leaning towards these)


18X9 front, 18X10 rear Black Chrome FR500s


i originally wanted the Saleens, but the others are quite appealing as well. I know i def want black chrome as reg black is too plain for me, plus i have the black chrome 'Mustang' lettering on my bumper so it would match...

let me know what ya'll think!

I think everyone has the saleens. They're played out. Out of the three choices. I say go with the FR500s.

I think the gt500 are great the fr500 everyone is getting those. I went with a set of cobra r rims with chrome rivets on the lip they look sharp. But I like the looks of the saleens too

Fr500s

My friend Dan has black ones on his red GT like yours and it looks great.

I like the saleens and fr500s. I don't know if I like the gt500s on our model. I still think I picked the best choice for my car and am very happy with the saleens.

I think the saleens would look nice but you'd have to get it lowered...cars with saleens look 10x better with a drop.

You do see a lot of cars out there with the saleens and fr500's. Have you looked at the GT4's? I think they make those in hypercoated (shade lighter than black chrome). I saw them on a SB cobra last summer and they looked *****in in person.

I think the FR 500s look cool . that Saleen style is played out too common . Personally I like the drag look Weld prostars or Draglites - I had Draglites on my 2000 gt and they looked totally badass .

Re: which rims should i choose?

in my opinion FR 500's=first choice and saleens would be my second choice, I don't really like the other ones.

Re: which rims should i choose?

saleen or FR500s not the middle ones, ive heard black chrome chips quick so research that might just be one brand vs another.

Thx for all the input guys. I agree that you see the saleens alot lately. They are becoming like bullitts now. I do like the FR500s a lot also. But I just have a weak spot for those GT500s. Just not sure which would actually look better on my car.

Sonic- I do plan on lowering after the rims.

Louis- how do I add a poll after I post the thread?

You have to use the site not the app. Open the thread and click thread tools and it's in the drop down menu.
