Which wheels?

Burn'nRubber · July 5th, 2010, 10:44 PM

My car is getting ready to be sent off for paint and I need to get a new set of wheels. I have narrowed my choices to either chrome 03 cobra wheels or black machined 07 shelby wheels. My car is a 1992 GT Hatch and after paint will be solid white.

i would go with the cobra wheels if it were my car. the shelby wheels dont match the old body style to well IMO

THe first.

92Notch · July 6th, 2010, 04:16 AM

I'm liking the second.

bennyjet846 · July 7th, 2010, 12:35 AM

definitely the first. the second doesn't look good on a fox body.

My vote goes to the Cobra wheels!

Thanks guys, I was leaning towards the cobras in the first place but I figured Id get some other opinions.

dog, I really like the first ones. I was thinking about doing them in flat black for my car. buuuutttt,,,, the second ones heve been tempting me a lot lately. If you are going to be putting some fly lookin brakes on it down the road, do #2 so you can use them to set off your brake investment. If you are doing wheels only, go with the first.

These are what I have been looking at. I am wanting to do it in a 17 though. Foxes look better with more rubber and less rim IMO.

Unfortunately, im still four lug and I doubt ill be swapping anytime soon. Maybe if/when I fuck up my axles. If I were five lug I would be going with some black FR500s, i love those wheels.

Now if you think foxes look better with more rubber and less rim, why are you looking at 18" wheels? I really dont think I have ever seen a fox on 18's.
