    Review & Install Video

    Hey everyone I’m Justin with AmericanMuscle.com, and I’m taking a look at our race inspired FR500 wheels for all 94-04 Mustangs. These wheels are inspired by the factory built turnkey racecar the Ford Mustang FR500. Now these cars were built for one sole purpose: to be all out track monsters using beefed up suspension, and a slightly more radical engine. Now the styling of these wheels is drawn from the more aggressive racecar appearance that differentiated these models from their road going counterparts. Our FR500 wheels are available in both 17 and 18” diameters, and your choice of either black, black chrome, anthracite silver, or chrome finish. Now you can buy these wheels individually if you like, however the smart move would be to take advantage of one of our pre built tire and wheel combinations, that pair your new FR500 wheels up with some of the better performing tires on the market today, in sizes that are guaranteed to fit your ride without rubbing, even if you’re lowered an inch or two. Not only that you get to take advantage of our free shipping and handling, free mounting and balancing, and optional nitrogen fill. Now the wheels are available in both staggered and non staggered fitment and with the always cool deep dish feature. Now deep dish refers to the lip around the wheel itself, this means that the face of the rim is set further back from the rim, resulting in a nice thick lip which looks very cool. As I mentioned before you can get the wheels in a staggered fitment which simply means your rear wheels and tires are going to be slightly wider than your fronts giving you that classic muscle car look. That’s exactly what we’ve done on our 2000 V6 behind me, got the black 18x9’s up front, and as you can see we’ve got the black 18x10’s out back, giving us that really tough stance. This will also help our traction as well, thanks to the fact that we get to run a slightly wider rear tire, helping us get that power down to the ground. To give you an idea of what some of the different finishes look like we’ve equipped our 98 GT on the lift there with a set of anthracite silver FR500’s. Next to that on our Dynojet we have our 2000 GT, sporting the very sharp chrome finish. Whatever finish you decide to go with, rest assured knowing that we here at AmericanMuscle have your back with a 1 year warranty on all finishes, and a lifetime structural warranty. When you receive your new set of wheels from AmericanMuscle you’ll find that installing them is as easy as ordering them, all you need to do is simply crack your lugs loose first while your car is still on the ground, then jack the car up and swap the wheels. Doing all of that takes you about an hour using standard hand tools and a floor jack. If you’re a fan of racecar styling and you want your ride to be inspired by a true purpose built racecar, then you’ll definitely want to check out a set of our FR500 wheels for your Mustang.

    Easy "One Click" Shopping. We have combined our most popular wheels and tires together into an easy "one click" to buy combo kit. This combo kit features four wheels and tires that are the exact specifications for your year Mustang for a guaranteed perfect fit with no rubbing or clearance issues.

    Standard Wheel and Tire Setup. Our Standard wheel and tire combo kit uses the same size wheels and tires on the front and the rear which allows you to routinely rotate your tires to equalize tread wear and maximize the life of the tires.

    Black Machined FR500 Wheel. Now you can have the modern split "Y" spoke styling of the FR500 Mustang for your very own Pony. These FR500 rims look like they're tearing up the track, even when just sitting in your garage. The velvet smooth look of the machined aluminum face makes for an intense contrast against the black inlays on this wheel for an incredibly sharp presentation. These machined wheels feature a satin clear-coat finish to protect against the hazards of road chips and pitting.

    255/40-17 Sumitomo Maximum Performance HTR Z5 Tire. Sumitomo's HTR Z5 seriestire is an ultra high performance summer tire. The aggressively designed 255/40-17 delivers extraordinary performance in either wet or dry conditions, on and off the track. The HTR Z5 series Tires also feature a unique flanged lip on the lower sidewall that helps protect your expensive rims from curb damage while parallel parking.

    Free Nitrogen Fill. AmericanMuscle is proud to bring you the option to fill your tires with pure nitrogen for FREE when we mount & balance your wheel and tire order. Filling your high performance tires with nitrogen can result in longer tire life and improved fuel economy. Nitrogen can also better regulate tire pressure changes that occur with the change in temperatures throughout the year, so your Stang will be ready to roll no matter what season it is!

    Application. This Standard 17x9 Black Machined FR500 and Sumitomo Tire Kit fits all 1994 to 1998 Mustangs.

    Road Hazard Protection. AmericanMuscle is proud to offer an optional Road Hazard Tire Protection program to our customers who purchase a Wheel and Tire Package from us. With this program, you will receive a 3-Year/36 Month protection plan for changing of flat tires and flat tire repair.

    36 Months of Protection. The Road Hazard Protection Program is good for 3-Years (36 Months) from the purchase date printed on the program certificate or until any part of the tire tread that comes in contact with the road has a tread depth of 2/32” or less, whichever comes first.

    Flat Tire Changing Assistance. Enrolled customers are eligible for reimbursement of up to $75 for roadside flat changing assistance provided by a licensed service provider. This is limited to the roadside installation of the customer’s own usable spare tire. Customer must have a spare tire. The customer would pay the service provider for flat tire changing and then be reimbursed.

    Flat Tire Repair. Enrolled customers are eligible for Flat Tire Repair up to $20 per tire. This repair would include labor and patch. Reimbursement is limited to two flat tire repair claims during the coverage terms of 3-Years/36 months. The customer would pay the service provider for flat tire repair and then be reimbursed.

        I have a 1996 Mustang Gt, I currently have a 315 size tire on the rear , will these FR 500 Black Machined Wheels fit my car?

        • Yes, this wheel will fit on your 1996 Mustang GT without an issue but if you want to keep the same 315 tire size in the rear, you will need a wider wheel than a 9" wheel. We would recommend a 10.5" wide wheel to accommodatea 315 tire.

            Nice Wheel!

            Installed on a 1995 Ford Mustang Gt with Maximum Motorsports Coil Overs and Control Arms Front and Rear (factory offset). Clearance on the Coil overs with the 17x9s and 275s is very very close. Wheels and tires look great and bolted right on. Wish there was a machined steel without the black insert option but still happy with how it looks.

            Have been looking for three years. Was never sure what would look right on the white pony. Had looked at all black style and chrome. Saw these but the photos on the site did not show a white car with black convertible. But the more I looked at it the more I liked them. I order them on Sunday they arrive Friday and installed on Sunday. Very happy with the rims and tires.

You just cant beat the look of the 315's stuffed under the back hahaha

            Most complements on any wheels I've owned

            I've been looking at new wheels for my 1995 to replace the Cobra R wheels that has been on it since 2001. Loved the look of the FR500 wheels but didn't like the finishes offered. American Muscle was the only place that offered the black machined wheels and I fell in love with them. Love the contrast it offers without having to run the played out solid black wheels everyone else is running. Ordered on a Sunday night and they showed up at my house on Wednesday afternoon. Packaging was awesome and the tire shop that installed the tires commented on how nice the wheels are. Had them on the car for four days and have received more complements on them than I did in the 15 years I had the Cobra R's on the car.

            Great wheels and tires!

            Can't believe how great these look on my Redfire Pearl '04. Just the right (IMO) balance of black and bright polished aluminum. No clearance issues except with the tailpipes on my Pypes catback, didn't actually rub but were maybe a little too close,had to reset the pipes in the mufflers and hangers,OK now. Size on the tires are awesome and they ride great. You'll need some slash guards (aka mudflaps) on the back those 315's are WIDE.
