    Having trouble choosing wheels

    Been looking for wheels for a while now, I'm torn between 20" tsw thruxton,
    20" fr500 and the trusty Ol 18" cobra r's.


    I've had cobra r's before and loved em. I really like 5 spoke wheels but, I found a set of fr500 with no lip on the front wheels and a nice deep dish out back. They are growing on me the more I look at em.

    My favorite wheel is the thruxton but it only comes in one finish. It's nice looking but not the finish I would choose if there were more options.

    I know some guys think 20's on a stang is Blasphemy, but I'm not building a race car and I think they will look awsome.

    if it's on a 05 and up(judging by your sig i assume so) the 20's look perfect.

    IMO, 20's look best..fr500's would look good but my favorite wheels are the sve drifts

    So I settled on a set of staggered 20" fr500 in gloss black.
    I think it will look pretty good on my black ride. Went a head and ordered some other stuff to make my car look like darth vader too.

    Should look good when I'm done. I'll post up picks in a few weeks.


    On a side note, vader keeps getting auto-corrected on my phone. Wtf bill gates must not be a star wars fan.
