not really digin the lip with those wheels. i think the FR500s will look right on your lexus. make sure they are 18s or 19s. because 17s look really small on sc's

I have the polished Saleens on mine now. Same offsets as Paco but 18s all around. Very flush. I have 265s in back and 245s in front.

Those are actually '99-'01 Cobras, but I've never seen replicas with a lip before. The stock ones don't have any lip, and I think the spoke design lends itself better to a flat-face look.

nah not 99-01 .. i said cobra r's by mistake, those are 03 cobra style wheels in deep dish.. yeah it's weird though all these replica companies make deep dish versions of mustang rims that never even had lips lol.. even the real FRs didn't have much of a lip and front and back looked the same.. I think the only mustang wheels i haven't seen in a deep dish yet is saleens..


check it out they even make these with a lip now..



i know it might suck to some people shopping for mustang rims for your lexus but you can't beat the prices most sell for 400 or less without tires in staggered sizes with aggressive offsets..

They looked more like '99-'01s in the pics, but I haven't seen them IRL so you're probably right. I did not know about the 10th anny wheels with a dish, do they come in 18's yet?

Obeewon has some FR500 replicas on his SC.

looks kickass, but problem I'm having is that they won't fit LS400/Supra brakes. Debating this setup though, with a polished look.

I need to know where you found these rims?!! Those look hot! IMO! Too many guys out here paying way too much for rims just for a name or bragging rights! What ever happened to getting good looking rims for your car? Anyways can you point me in the right direction for those rims? and do they clear LS400 Brakes?
Thank you,
Dr.Fate
