Do these look rice?

GTSilver · December 22nd, 2006, 12:16 PM

my fr500's are 17's and i love the way they look...especially with the drop...deep dish rear FTW!!!!! stangs look so sharp with dd in the back...i'd like 18's but they're too heavy...not to say the the 17's arent..but not as much

MSTGGT00 · December 22nd, 2006, 02:25 PM

They do look kinda sharp. I dunno, I really like the Cobra Style too, they just get old to me. But the newer ones (not the 95 style) look kinda sharp too.

You might want o look at the steedas I showed you above...

Ultralite 2

They are 9 inches wide...More contact patch = better traction...You can find them alot cheaper then that though...

Jsut a thought though...

Nothing wrong with the style, but get some wider wheels if you are going to spend your cash. Nothing looks better than a pair of fat-ass rear tires.

i have a pair of 03' cobra brand new wheels for sale. 17x9 that i had my mickey thompsons mounted too. polished chrome not a scratch or scuff on them, Maybe 300 miles on them?

MSTGGT00 · December 22nd, 2006, 07:27 PM

I must say, I do love the new cobra wheels. Argh.

vichael1 · December 22nd, 2006, 07:33 PM

the 03/04 cobra wheels would look even better with a deep dish, saleens also!!!!!

ChrisJ · December 23rd, 2006, 01:43 AM

The Cobra's look great IMHO...

I have thought about them before to...

You can get some decent sized tires on them too...

GTSilver · December 27th, 2006, 04:20 PM

the rims'll be bad ass and all but just to replace the rear 2 on real cobras imho

MSTGGT00 · December 28th, 2006, 06:25 PM

Good call.

03darkhorse · December 29th, 2006, 05:23 PM

deep dish the rear all the way

MSTGGT00 · December 29th, 2006, 08:49 PM

Grrr. Still haven't bought 'em yet. Debating on what to do. I want a nice agressive muscle look. Something that says don't mess with me.

Avoiding the cheap wannabe race , rice or euro look.

Any all around suggestions?

I just now got new wheels for my '03 GT. The black spokes were so tempting; they do look hot and are all the rage right now. But... I'm keeping my car forever. Ten years from now, I don't want it to say, "this was cool in 2006." So I went wayyy back to the classic '99 Cobra polished aluminum. May not be for everybody but the five spoke shine will never die.

acmillr · December 29th, 2006, 09:40 PM

These are 17x10.5 wrapped in 315/35 rubber....

Also, does anyone know where I can get the regular pony emblem center caps to replace the cobra center caps that came with the rims?

MSTGGT00 · December 30th, 2006, 10:27 AM

Sharp. Center caps can be found through Mustangs Unlimited. They have a website, it's sloppy sometimes. They are located in their catalog too, they have a handful. Nice ones, just about everything including the classic pony.

+1 I got those wheels for the same reason. I've gone through the fad with the wheels to many times. Just to much money constanly updating them.

I stuck w/ the chrome bullitts on my 17x9 in the front and 17x10.5 in the rear. I gotta have the fatty's on the rear.
