Narrowed it down to 2 choices(rims). Help me decide

PowerShiftz02GT · May 17th, 2009, 06:04 PM

I can not decide on rims. this is taking me a month to decide and now i've finally narrowed it down to 2 options.

17x9 & 17x10.5 Black Bullets wheels

OR

17x9 & 17x10.5 Polished Cobra wheels

This is what my car looks like...

What do you guys think would look best. the Cobra's are traditional which i like. but then the black cobra will give it a sinister look which i like as well. I just can not decide. For the longest time i was set on the Cobras but then i do really like the Bullets and now i just can't decide. If i do the black bullets then im going to tint the tail lights and get black bumper inserts and ill go for that sinister look.

I feel like Mineral Gray is one of the hardest colors to make the car stand out or pop. I do not really want to do anthracite anymore because it blends in with the color of the car too much. I'm leaning more towards the cobras. but what do you guys think?

Or if you guys have other suggestion then let me know. thanks

Id say black bullets for the sake of them being black. Check out some pics of turbo4t's car, looks bad ass with the black wheels.

mustanginky · May 17th, 2009, 06:35 PM

you could get black cobra's too ya know. those would be nice looking.

trueblue02GT · May 17th, 2009, 06:40 PM

get black deep dish 03 cobras, look at mrsinisters car they look nice

bbk03gt24 · May 17th, 2009, 06:42 PM

I got mine at American Muscle. Mine are 17x9 Front and 17x10.5 in rear. They also have non-deep dish cobra replica wheels as well that come in all black, no lip if you dont like the polished lip look.

I'm just throwing this out there....

Black Chrome Saleen's

LOL what's Plolished?

Lower that thing.

@OP: As I'm sure you know make sure you go with a polished lip if you want black wheels. There's only a couple colors you can do an all black wheel with.

I don't really know what to tell you as far as choice. But I'll tell you the reason I bought my DD Cobras. I bought them because I loved Cobra wheels, but I love bullits with DD, so it really fit for me. Only bad thing about black wheels is they scratch REALLY easy, be really careful when you torque them down. Black really pops on red, I'm not positive about MG though.

Then again I don't think chrome would look good. You've been in my threads before, so I'll just put 1 pic in

mrsinister2424 · May 17th, 2009, 09:11 PM

OH wait. I read black bullits and cobras and assumed you wanted black on both? Then I saw polished.... I'd say go with a black wheel. It'll add nice contrast to the gray.

I've got the shocks/struts and springs in the garage, just haven't gotten around to installing them. But you're welcome to come on by and do that for me if you would like.

mrsinister2424 · May 17th, 2009, 09:15 PM

Piece of cake. I've had to do it multiple times now(taking ISOs out). What springs are you planning on running?

Blackbat · May 17th, 2009, 09:21 PM

H&R SS with Tokico Adjustables.

mrsinister2424 · May 17th, 2009, 09:49 PM

That's gonna look sexy my friend. Might I suggest leaving the front iso's out. You can try it with them in, but if you are anything like me, you'll probably go back and take them out. Trying to save ya work
