Ditched the FR500's! YAY!

[chris91]

Picked these up today. Got sick of the FR500's and ran across a KILLER deal on these. they are XXR 521's. I have 1" spacers for the rear but they wont work because the old lugs are hitting the wheels. Gonna have to grind them down so theyll fit. Also my brand new lug nuts that I just bought dont fit so I guess I have to buy some new ones... Anyone have a set of slim lug nuts they want to donate to the cause? HAHA I got the rear lug nuts on finger tight along with my locking lug really tight just to set it on the ground for a pic. I think I like em!! Whats everyone else think? I MIGHT add a thin red pinstripe to the very edge of the wheels, not sure yet. Dont mind the dirt, shes been sittin a while now. :mad:

those look pretty slick Chris....... hmmmm wonder what they'd look like on my car lol

[draggin50]

Looks good!!!

[rtvickers]

Definitely a different look. I'll have to see it with the spacers on the back to make my final decision. But looks good so far. What size are they.

[chris91]

Thanks guys! Tommy they are 18x8.5 and 18x10.

[Walter]

just thro a thin .25in spacer on the rear and call it good. Looks good btw.

[chris91]

Yeah I thought about going with a half inch spacer. I'm thinking with the one inch they will stick out too far. Thanks!

[leroy93lx]

Spline drive lug nuts are what I had to run on my TSW's. To avoid beating the chrome off of them. Those look good on there. I would of never guessed they were 18s. I am doing a similar wheels on the coupe but in chrome.

[chris91]

The new edge cars do that to wheels. I've had three sets of 18's on it now and they all looked like 17's.

[rtvickers]

Is it put back together yet?

[chris91]

Nope, been too busy with moving. Came across this deal though and had someone wanting my FR's so I jumped on it.

[rtvickers]

What do you have to do to it?

[chris91]

Pull trans and install new one.

[sean]

Looks great. Usually I like the red lip but on those I'm going to say no.

[PKFIRE]

Looks good! I like those and the XXR 531s.

The FRs looked "flashier" but I think these look more aggressive. In a word "better".

[chris91]

Thanks guys. I'm pretty happy with them. Now I just need to get this bitch fixed so I can enjoy it some before winter hits. :(

[Walter]

The FRs looked "flashier" but I think these look more aggressive. In a word "better".

When i think of fr's i dont think "flashy", I think "common".

[Stangman]

Dang. Would have loved to put those FR500's on my Mark

[BuckeyeAlex]

Not really a fan of black on black, but with spacers in the rear and wingless I think it'd look pretty tough.

[04 Venom]

Me likey...

[chris91]

It'll never be wingless. I think they look plain without a spoiler. Plus mine has a unique spoiler only made for the 35th anniversary edition cars so its staying.

[sean]

I like wingless on sn95 cars.

[Gongshow]

Looks good like to see w spacer
