20" fr500s

So has anyone seen these yet on a 5.0?? I have always liked them. I was gonna get them for my 04 a while back but i got the '13 instead. I was stil thinking to get them only 19" to match the factory rim, but i recently saw these on stangmods.com.

I wouldn't mind 20" stagered deep dish in the back. They're kinda cheap, any thoughts???? Pics????

Not too many pics on the internet, but I do like the FR500s in 20" size:

I got a performanfe white '13 gt/cs, i was thinking 20" fr500s black with machined lip, deep dish in back, and debating on a red outter lip to go with some red calipers to make them stand out

I'd do all black (glossy to match rear panel or matte to match stripes) on the wheels and paint the calipers black. Smoke the front/rear sidemarkers and rear reflectors. Go all white and black. Storm trooper edition!

I say no to storm trooper. It's over done IMO. Some people pull it off well however. Maybe be different with black chrome. I do however like your idea of black, red lip and calipers. That could be really cool. Then black with red stripes. Could be really cool

The factory calipers look like crap painted anything other than black. It makes them look like a cheap riced out Mexican car (and living in the Bay Area, I see those 100x a day).

That's a different story. Go for the brakes. I still say leave the red stripe off the wheels and go all black (no lip). It will look a lot more aggressive.

Painted stock calipers look fine IMO. Happy with them on my car. Changes the looks more than you would think, and it's cheap and easy

That's what i was thinking, with the red lip. Something to kinda draw attention to the calipers. I don't think they would stand out as much if you didn't have the red stripes there on the side. Love it btw

Thanks. Yeah the stripes and calipers ended up working well together. It's just enough. I'm thinking about changing it to something like the cs stripes that fade. Idk I can't hijack your thread.

This is different. When the bracket isn't painted, it looks much better. When it's all red, it looks cheap. Did you paint the bracket silver too?

Oh I didn't get that the first time. Haha sorry. And yeah we painted it silver. Granted they look no where as big to us car guys as actual big breaks, but 95% of people won't know.
