18" fr500s yes

Powder coat costed me $85 a wheel.. id only give it a 7/10 for the finish... the clear coat has lots of orange peel and the PC could def be better.
However, everywhere else around me wanted $140/wheel or more... its nuts... i guess you get what u pay for

Looks good man...

FYI for you guys... Cruzin Concepts has "stealth FR500s" now. They are a satin powder coat and look really good. Seen a few in person. I might get a set to switch it up.

Those look great on your car. I'm half tempted to get the CC "stealth" FR500's, but I don't have enough black accents on my car to pull it off.

In my opinion this is how ford should have made the Mach 1's. I love that front bumper with the Mach hood..
