We traded wheels...gunmetal and chrome...good/bad?!?

Attack_Cobra · September 9th, 2009, 06:39 PM

Hey everyone!! I have the '01 Cobra and my brother has the '97 Cobra. He normally rolls with the gunmetal Saleen wheels and I have the chrome ones. We decided to switch. We both kinda like our cars how they were, but we snapped some pictures and now we want your opinions...let me have 'em!!!

normal:

traded:

weems · September 9th, 2009, 06:44 PM

I like the switch better, but both cars need a detail!

Attack_Cobra · September 9th, 2009, 06:56 PM

Hey, my black one sat in the Missouri sun, rain, and who knows what else for a year after it was repossessed from some dude. I think it looks pretty good considering?!?
I'm just curious what made you say that? My brother's side windows are scratched, but what on mine looks like it needs detailing. FYI - I'm not mad or anything...just curious - I need something to polish!

Also, resizing the pictures in "Paint" makes them look hazy?!?

M.P. Cobra Fan · September 9th, 2009, 07:37 PM

You should keep the trade. Both cars look better IMO.

Ethan79 · September 11th, 2009, 10:46 PM

good trade. looks good

AlterGear02 · September 12th, 2009, 11:08 AM

where did your brother pickup those Gunmetal saleens? I've been looking for a set for my ride.

takiller · September 13th, 2009, 09:58 AM

both cars look great after the switch. BUT i have an 03 gt and ive always liked the darker rims, so i like ur body style car and the darker rim set up. def not taking anything away from the red 4v.

gray8188 · September 13th, 2009, 10:56 AM

I like the trade. but im kinda biased i have the same wheels lol.. And to the guy who asked the only place i think they sell them like that is oewheelsllc.com. And they have been out of stock there for a long time..

BakerFX4 · September 13th, 2009, 07:51 PM

so who wins when yall race?

Klutch7 · September 13th, 2009, 11:08 PM

I'm a fan of how they were before. black with the gray is HOTT. Hot like that r-35 behind your brother in the first photo

Attack_Cobra · September 13th, 2009, 11:49 PM

To answer your question about who wins: it was within 1 tenth and you don't want to know our times...first time at the track!! Our we are now both sniper tuned and he has drag radials. We are going up to Marion, SD this weekend. I will let you know then. And for the Nissan Skyline GTR R35, it was amazing!! He ran a 12.5 bone stock...not to shabby!! I think we are switching wheels back though?!? I like my chromies. And there are two black GTs with black wheels around here?!?

PowerShiftz02GT · September 16th, 2009, 10:24 PM

The Trade looks good. Keep it that way. Red with Gunmetal and Black with Chrome.

Fluffy The Rhino · September 16th, 2009, 11:55 PM

I like black with gunmetal.

haha you beat me two it, that was my first thought when I seen that pic.

as for the wheels I like dark on dark normally but I think it looked better before the trade, but still looks go after tho, so anyway its a win win

Attack_Cobra · September 23rd, 2009, 01:27 AM

So, who wins?!?

Well, I ran a 14.37 at 100...not very fast!
He ran a 14.5 at 97...not very fast!

It was only our 2nd time at the track, so it leaves plenty of room for improvement. We were both hoping to break into the 13's, but...next time!

08blkgt500 · September 25th, 2009, 03:57 PM

i like the trade, suits both cars better

I agree, although I thought the 97 looked really good with the gunmetal. Keep the trade.
