Default New wheels are next on my list, need some opinions/pics!

Ok, I'm looking really hard at the FR500 Black Chrome 18" rims from Cruizin Concepts. I'm going with the same width all around so I can rotate them. I need any pictures that might be available with them on a Redfire S197 & any thoughts on comparison with the 17" polished Bullitts I already have.

As always, I thank you all for your expertise & honest critiques.

Black & red is a good combination.

I found these on the AmericanMuscle website. These rims look small, but you get the general idea.

I think they look small because they're black with the polished lip, I'm looking at the blackchrome, but can't find any pics on a redfire. Thanks for the links though.

The regular chrome FR500's look pretty good too but wanting to see the blackchrome on a redfire to help me decide.

Went ahead and ordered the blackchrome, I'm guessing that the tire size to use is 255/45's? Would like to go as wide as possible but don't want to stick out, especially in the front.

Totally changed my mind, not going to get wheels right now........new 3.73 gears would "serve" me much better I think.

I just ordered my rims from american muscle today. Black Deep Dish Bullitts. 18/9 255/45 18/10 295/45. They didnt have any rear tires that size so I had to order them separate. Should be here just in time for the snow to melt and the roads to dry up.

8.8 rear end with 3:73s is later this spring.

X Charger Extreme soon to follow.
