Thinking about putting my Y2K Cobra Rs back on...

HuskerGT · April 21st, 2009, 11:18 PM

It's almost been a year with the FR500s and I'm thinking about flipping back to my Chrome 18" Y2K Cobra Rs - actually more sooner than later. I still have them tucked away in the boxes that my Black 18" FR500s came in. I love the black wheels, but am seeing them a lot - (probably because they look bad ass on a lot of cars), but, IMO they are becoming a little too common, especially the FR500s.
I don't see the Y2K Cobra Rs as often anymore. If I put them back on I'll have to upgrade my small GT brakes to Cobras just to fill up the wheels since I'll be able to see a lot more of them, LOL

Thoughts?

...I may have some beautiful-less-than-a-year-old FR500s for sale soon...

I would say to go with Y2k's. Im the same way and thats why I havent purchased any rims yet cause I want them to be different.

Traidmarx · April 21st, 2009, 11:50 PM

wanna trade? lol

either one you choose your car is gana look bad ass

pirotec354 · April 22nd, 2009, 12:29 AM

I like both of them to tell you the truth. But if you are interested in selling the FR500's i may be interested if the price is right. I got the FR500 rims but there the anthracite color and i would like to have an extra set of rims. Just let me know if you decide to sell them.

If you decide the Cobra's Shoot me a price for the 500's

ReverendDexter · April 22nd, 2009, 01:35 AM

If you want to be different, then don't go with FRPP, Cobra, or Saleen wheels, lol.

BEASTstang · April 22nd, 2009, 05:45 AM

Cobra r's for sure !!!!!!!!!

HuskerGT · April 22nd, 2009, 07:15 AM

Thanks.
I'd be selling the FR500s for sure. I'd like to get new tires and could use the money to help offset the cost. I could sell the tires & wheels as a package too.

If I swap them I will be selling the FR500s. To save on shipping hassles, I'd like to sell locally...

I'd actually like to sell the tires and wheels locally.

They're not staggered like the FRs or anything. I think they just look that way because the spokes are narrow where they attach to the outer rim. I'll find some pics when I get home tonight.

Traidmarx · April 22nd, 2009, 04:25 PM

if you wanna trade the FR's for some bullitts let me know.

Not looking for any trades for different wheels or other options actually. Just trying to debate taking the FRs off & mounting the Y2Ks

Traidmarx · April 22nd, 2009, 04:49 PM

RCRacer94GT · April 22nd, 2009, 05:14 PM

RCRacer94GT · April 22nd, 2009, 06:13 PM

HuskerGT · April 22nd, 2009, 06:37 PM

To be honest with you, I'm leaning toward keeping them in case I change my mind again,
