Love the plates!

Where did you end up ordering the wheels from?

Thanks man I'm not sold tag yet my friends and dad talked me it lol and on eBay from wheel replicas they all look great except the one 18x10 has been dropped and lip is scraped. I'm leaving work in a few minutes and they are getting a call from me. Of course I don't spend the extra $50 to get from late model resto and I get screwed :(

Edit: talked with them on phone, spoke with nice guy about issue. Gave me email to send photos to in morning and get a new wheel sent out early next week so we will see!

Front Michelin are now in. And brand new 18x10 will be here tomorrow to replace damaged one. Guy at wheel replicas was very nice and easy to deal with snapped a couple of photos and new wheel was sent right out

Looks like you have been quite busy on the Mach...glad to see you are enjoying her!
I picked up her replacement a couple of weeks back so all is right again!

little update. the fr500 wheels lip looks like crap. has etching and looks like acid was poured on them. wheel replicas has been nice about it and looks like they are going to let me return hopefully they contact me and refund soon. Looks like im going to try buying them from LMR now like i should have done the first time! LOL my stupidity, also Borla Stingers came in from AM that was nice enough to price match summit racing for me so those are ready to go! here are a couple photos and edited by a friend from this past weekend...yes i know it sits like a 4x4 and photo quality isnt the greatest as my phone photobucket i guess makes them lower resolution? idk

How about Black FR500's so you don't have to worry being picky about the lip.. IMO 18" is as big as you want to go on New Edge.

Or how about LMR's SVE 10th Anniversary wheels?

Don't like black wheels at all man. And I thought about some sve silver drifts but I'm still leaning toward the 18" roh pictured above I love those wheels

change of plans again. talked to LMR and they said Wheel replicas makes their 17" fr500s but not their 18". Said they rarely get quality complaints about their wheels so I went ahead and bought another set of silver fr500s 18x9/10 be here next Wednesday! hope these are higher quality then wheel replicas!!

Wheels came in. Great quality! Here they are all ready to go. Now the weather needs to cooperate. Hope to get mounted and balanced this week and on car soon when I get a nice dry day and no salt on roads
