Alright svtperformance ive been toying around with the idea of getting another set of wheels for a while. The time has come to either buy a staggered set of 18 chrome fr500's or a staggered set of knock off 18 true forge victories w/ bolts. I have a 98 bab cobra thats lowered on h&r supersports. Not sure which finish would look best for either wheel. Let me know what you think.

Can't go wrong either way IMO. I think I would go victory's if you have the extra cash for the cost of them.

Where are you finding a set of knock-off Victories? The FR500's are no comparison for them if you can find a set somewhere.

Latemodel restoration has a new set of sve series 2 wheels out and they look very similar to the true forge wheels. I called them yesterday and I was told they don't have them on the website yet but they did give me a part number. Here's a link to the video I saw them in if that helps.

They do look quite similar. Did they share with you what the cost for a set is?

I only asked about the wheels with tires since I need tires badly but they said 1899.99 for a stagger chrome 18 set with nittos (part # wtk-56481650). Anthracite 1869.99 (part # wtk-56481653).

I would get the TF reps in anthracite. For right now they would be less common and would be a little different!

Whoa those sve wheels are sick! But I like those victories. For the love of sn95s don't get FR500s.

whatever you do, don't order fr500s. They are so played out its not even funny. I think they would look good on your car in all gloss black, but the chrome would not look good. the others you posted in anthracite is the way to go.
