From the looks of it they are FR500 Anthracite wheels right? I will be ordering a set for my Mach soon in same size. Do you have any more pics a little more from the side? Would love to see them. Awesome car man. Good luck....

They are Raceline GT rims bro!

... Here's a side shot for ya. The Racelines are currrrved while the FR's are more sharp angled.

FloridaOrange · 08-02-2006, 08:41 PM

Car looks good man! I had those tires last time, handled/grabbed f'n great for street tires, but they were quiet noisy around 40-45mph. That's the reason I tried something different for the next set.

1MEANSTANG · 08-02-2006, 08:43 PM

Wow that was quick. Thanks. They do look awesome. And some what different. Nice match up. Good luck with them. Awesome tire choice too. with the bfgoodrich's. Congrats!

Sharp lookin wheels...it's between those and the FR500 anthracite or black for me.

Those seem to have a blue hue to them.

1MEANSTANG · 08-02-2006, 09:01 PM

Thats the same with me. My exhaust is so loud tire noise doesn't matter. LOL TOO! They just look awesome with that tread pattern. Looks like it belongs on a Mustang....
I'll take pics when my wheels are on......later Man..

SeeingRed · 08-02-2006, 09:23 PM

1MEANSTANG · 08-03-2006, 06:37 PM

Is your car lowered at all? Or is that stock height? After I get my wheels I won't have much money to lower it right away.. Thanks..

Lowered yup.... H&R Super Sports and Tokico Illumina 5-way adjustable shocks. Right now I got them on 3 (might change it back to 4) in the front and 5 in the back... just to be safe lol.

1MEANSTANG · 08-03-2006, 06:42 PM

Thanks! Looks like I will be spending more money than I thought. Oh well. Hard money earned, and well spent. LOL Later and thank you...

no problem! :THUMBSUP: ... get that mach hooked up the right way!

Nekasrof · 08-03-2006, 08:26 PM

I'm runnin the BFG KDW2's also. Good street tire, not so good on the road course though. Plan on slippin and slidin when they get hot but it's manageable if you don't get too nutso.
They're noisy when they start to wear but I still like em. Very durable tire. You can run em at the speed limiter and not have any issues.

pwmach · 08-03-2006, 10:31 PM

ok, i know i'm coming in a little late here but i have a question about 10.5 or 11" wide rims. i have a d-1 blown '03 that i am looking to order some wheels for and am just wondering if anyone out there knows the correct backspacing measurement. I measured and came up with roughly 6.5 to 7.0 inches looks like it will work. i want to go with the bonspeed huntington wheels, so i have to be sure when ordering. you know, measure twice buy once.lol!

pwmach · 08-05-2006, 12:30 AM
