Thumbs up Could i get some opinions please!

Ok my brother didn't feel like messing with making a account so he asked me to post this.

He owns a 1999 Mustang Cobra, with a lot done to it! He currently has 17inch 1995 cobra R rims on it, and is thinking about switching to Fr500 rims

He wanted to get some opinions on which you think would look better on his car. (choose the fr500's because if he buys them i getta buy the cobra r's from him hah) And if he does get the fr500 rims what size. 17's or 18's.

here are some pics of his car

Chrome FR500 Wheel 94-04 (18X9)

thanks

Go with the FR500 wheels. 18s look sick on 99-04 Mustangs

I would say get the Fr500's as they would look sick on his ride OT, not very fond of the wing. He should get the 03-04 cobra spoiler

I've been kicking the FR500 wheel around and was thinking 18 X 9 in front and 18 X 10 deep dish in the rear.
And if I do I will have the 2004 17 X 9 Chrome Cobra's for sale!!!

My pick is the FR500's. But nothing is going to help that car with that spoiler on it.

It's the Cobra R wing from the 2000 model although it could be the Steeda comp wing like you said but it's most likely the Cobra R wing.
