I'm hoping to get some Anthracite FR500's for my stang before I even get the car and got a little anxious and chopped them on a black one for an idea....I think they turned out HOT! Looking forward to the release in a month or two hopefully...~Trent

Hi there,

Thanks for your inquiry! I do believe they are producing the 18x10.5
Mach 1 wheel for the '05 Mustangs. Please check back with us within
about 2/3 months for an update with all the exact specifications.

Let me know if you need any other assistance and I'll be glad to help

Guyz, is this red chrome wheel insane or what???

 

I've always loved that red chrome wheel! However, how do you think it would look on the car? It wouldnt match either torch red or redfire very well I dont think...I guess it would look nice on a black car with the same colour stripes ala shelby style...if you were going with that sort of look.

 

Don't like the red. The black chome do look good though.

 

or how about a little more red livery along the lines of the 3d carbon car? talk about standing out in a crowd.

 

How about an update on the FR500s? There's still nothing on the site.

 

Last I was told by WheelReplicas (that's who's makes them) they should be available in May.

 

Stangnut, do you know if they are just going to come in the standard 18x9 or will they be available in wider sizes also? I read somewhere online yesterday that a 18x10 was going to be comming out, thats what I really need for the meats I wanna run, the 9" just isn't gonna cut it because 9" is what a 275 at the widest probably? ~Trent

 

As far as I know they will only be making them in 18x9 just like what they have for the 99-04's.

 

I'm retarded, they can hold 295's I know on the 18x9 because my friend with a 04 Cobra is running 295 bfg g force ta kdw's on his, I also contacted wheelreplicas and they said 45 days away for the FR500's for our 05's so end of may it is!

 

thats funny. I saw that pic, and noticed "Hey, that looks like my house. Wait...that IS my house. wait...THATS MY CAR."


weird feeling.

 

That is one wicked looking, bad **** car! :worship: That may have made me just want a black GT (which I swore I'd never get another black car) with those wheels if my quest for a new Shelby falls through.

 

They better not give that exact of a time. I'll be counting the days and start calling them 43 days from now... "Are they in yet? Are they in yet?"
I'm sure if I ever asked about black. I'll be devistated if I have to wait longer for black. I'll wait a little while and ask. Also going to ask about pre-orders.

 

I just called WheelReplicas and they're playing dumb again about the FR500's. Said he didn't know anything about them being available for the '05.

 

Today they're saying another 60 days (end of June).
Hmmm. Wonder what they'll say tomorrow.

 

You know, I completely understand that the car is a BRAND NEW platform.... but after the last four months of getting the run around on dates, product and info... its starting to wear a little thin......

 

hehe sorry SurfnSoCal :-) but it was to hot a pic to begin with and a perfect choppin pic for those anthracites, if those wheels ever freaking come out thats what I am going to be running, I'm just hoping they make it by the time I get my car
