I currently have chrome 17" 99-01 cobra wheels... looking to get rid of them for 18s but am stuck between the best option of a blacked out rim. these 2 are my favorites out there but any opinions on to help me sway towards one? cause im stuck...cause is not my DD so I plan on getting Nittos with it, if I get the FR500s ill just take the tires they come with in the package deal on somewhere like AM otherwise im looking into Nitto Invos for the XXRs ...any info/help is much appreciated thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to be different sell your mustang and grab an imported European car you've never seen. If it looks good, it looks good and idgaf if every neighbor of mine has it. Bottom line buy what you like BUT if you are literally split down the middle I can see it being something that tips the ballast. I still hate fr's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being different is important to you but within a reasonable budget. Given those parameters and your selected wheels the xxr's win hands down.

Tony Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 i like xxw wheels. just not this style. looks too fwd or something idk. now the xxr 526 or the 531 step lip in a deep dish kills the fr500 imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1bad9d5 Posted February 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 the wheel on the mustang posted ^^ looks too busy with the short mesh style spokes...idk, gives it a fwd look rather then a long spoke with a deep dish. but yea you can get xxr wheels in a single bolt pattern. xxr 526 yea I guess we have 2 different opinions with that... I prefer it that way over very little amount of spokes spread far from each other, like I love the BBS wheels that were so popularand if I can find 521s with just a 5 spoke I may just fall in love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95riosnake Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 I'd take the 521's over the FR500's all day. I got tired of FR's a long time ago. I would suggest the 526, 530 or 531 ( < sick looking wheels!) personally, but the 521's are nice too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
