Yeah, I know this may seem like blasphemy, but I think some of the best looking OE rims out there are the Black/Chrome lipped FR500s for Mustangs. been seeing them on the 99-04s everywhere, and they look DAMN good. granted, our cars look better stock than ANY modded mustang, but I'd love to find a set of wheels similar to the FR500
here's an example:

I've got an Arctic White 1999 Trans Am, stock and sleak-beak, and think something like these would be a great first addition.
Yeah, I'm familiar with the C5 Z06s. In fact, I was stuck on a set of Black Z06 motorsports for about 2 years, and recently decided I don't care for the look much anymore. It seems a bit overdone too. That's part of the reason I'd like to find something like these...a bit more original.
Sorry, I know this was a bit long. Anyone know of any similar wheels to these that fit our lug patters? (Color doesn't matter to me: chrome, polished, black, etc...whatever). Thanks, all.

Or get the C5 Z06's black with a chrome lip, but NO rivets... I think rivets over-do almost every wheel they are on, but without them I really like the black C5 Z06s.

thanks, vscott71. any idea where the best place is to order from, should i decide to get them? these look pretty sick. any pics of them on a T/A or other F-body?
CHRRRIS, i totally agree on non-rivet Z06s looking better...but at this point i'm pretty sure that's not the route i want to go. thanks for the input though! seriously guys, i appreciate all input. thanks.

found this guy. i nearly fainted. easily some of the best looking OE wheels for a T/A (in my opinion).
apparently they're '09 Vette Spyder wheels. i dig 'em. a LOT.
any opinions on what finish would look best on an Arctic White '99 T/A?

this might sound really lame, but the new 2010 Malibu wheels seem pretty sick. correct me if i'm wrong, but they look fairly similar to the FR500s (still no lip though...)

i could see a nicely adonized set of those in a graphite or black...i don't know, hah.
hey, hitman, how well do spacers work on our cars? does that have an adverse effect on suspension, steering, etc?
