Chrome or Black? New Rims

treblruh · June 30th, 2011, 02:31 PM

Hey guys just thinking about getting some new rims for my 99 cobra, and I was wondering what you think. I have narrowed it down to two looks and i just can't decide. I would almost like to see what the black rims look like with the top down, or maybe get some better pictures of the black top and chrome rims without the tint. I have had a hell of a time finding pictures.

The only pictures I could find of the rims on 03.04 cobras

On the pic of that other cobra- are those black or black chrome?

treblruh · June 30th, 2011, 03:02 PM

I actually think the are black chrome. It's the closest thing I could find to my setup with the convertible.

In my opinion, chrome on white (with top down in your case) will look absolutely perfect. I'm a huge fan of black wheels, but white cars are the exception. It's almost a class of their own. I remember seeing a white '04 Cobra with chrome FR500's and it was like magic/love at first sight. But ALSO black would be my second choice...like over anthracite, etc etc. Since yours is a convertible, the black wheels would go great with the top up. I think many will agree you can't go wrong on this one. Good luck.

I'm the opposite... I *hate* chrome, with the exception being black cars.

I think the black chrome wheels on that white vert look perfect, the regular chrome wheels just look boring.

Black chrome is pretty rare to, you done see many rides with black chrome. Either gloss or flat black.

I like those black ones because they are all black, but either chrome or black would look good. Everyone likes different stuff anyway...As long as you don't get those black with the chrome ring around it, those type are ugly and make the wheels look too small.

+1 to black or black chrome. I'd probably go just black cause it would look sick with the black top, but either.......
