Here is the best that I've found so far for the FRPP wheels.

I may opt to get replicas when I pull the trigger though. I'm still checking into how well those hold up before deciding between them and FRPP's.

Got a quote from them a while back when I almost pulled the trigger and
the guy was a real jerk.
I rather pay a little more and know I am not going to have a problem if they arrive damaged etc ....

Question Mustangs Unlimited .....

Anyone bought wheels from here before? The pricing is $209.00 with
w/ $32.00 shipping total. Still pricing out from a few different places. Money
is tight this time of year and I have to pay for the insurance in Jan. as well. Not to mention the tires won't be that cheap.


Got another source from a KC. Colorado Mustang Specialist Inc
$209.00 ea w/ S&H about $60.00 - $80.00 total

WOW! Thats not good at all. I can't imagine anyone staying in business long with that kind of attitude.

Let us know where you end up getting your wheels from. Once I get my facia installed I'll be looking at changing my wheels (again ) to the GT500's also.

If you want to save the money, $54 per wheel, replicas are decent.

GTRacerX,
Are you going with the FRPP GT500's from Colorado Mustang? $80 s/h total is only $20 a wheel, so all told it would be 229 each (max price) not bad at all.

If these replicas from American Muscle hold up as well as the FRPPs then I would grab them in a heartbeat. I just remember reading somewhere that the coating on some replica wheels will start to flake off after several months. Though I don't know which brand(s) were referred to. Right now I'm liking the GT500's the best, but those GT4's are starting to grow on me

Almost forgot, Rene, after you get your wheels let me know if there are any fitment issues when going from the stock 17's to the 18X9.5 rims. I thought I remembered reading something about steering stops being needed....though I could be wrong it might have been for 10's+. Oh, and dont forget the pics
Thanks
