Anyone with American Racing 500's?

American Racing has released a custom order wheel that looks like the classic Magnum wheels, the AR-500. Anyone seen these in person or running with them. Posting pics/examples on the S197 would be greatly appreciated!

I have always liked the Magnum 500 wheels. I haven't seen this particular wheel on an S197, but it would look really good in my opinion.

It would be cheaper to get Shelby CS69's from KC. You could choose between 18 and 20.

Another example

Best suited to the retro theme, but it does compliment the style of the car.

That's not my car, I just collect pics of possible mods and have been on the fence for a year now about which wheels. These, however are on my short list. And I agree that both are sweet rides (the top pic is of C69s)!
