98 Cobra Wheels

Nito2v · March 7th, 2011, 02:58 PM

These could be my new shoes.. But I'm 50/50. I'll need new tires, all four, 17 all around. Any idea on how wide they are anyone? I'm thinking 17x8 245.

Think they'll look good with a 2003 cobra front? Yes, it'll be lowered

I think they're 17x8.5

Nito2v · March 7th, 2011, 03:26 PM

Thanks!

lol if I do get these I'll need new tires, that's $400, plus these $250, 650$ for some good condition wheels, half the price of a brand new set of 18's. Worth it? That's what's bugging me.

I personally think 17s look a tad bit too small on NEs. But that's just my opinion. Are they machined or chrome? I'd probably go for them if they're chrome but, again just my opinion, I'm not a fan of machined.

Nito2v · March 7th, 2011, 03:42 PM

They're machined/silver. I don't mind 17" but I suppose you're right. I might as well do it right and get 18's.

I've had both. For a nice street car, the 18's were good.
Tires are more expensive though.

having had those same wheels in the same finish on a silver car i can say i didn't like it too much at first, but they grew on me

Nito2v · March 7th, 2011, 10:31 PM

You think chrome looks better? That's growing on me in fact..

their 17x9 u can see the ones i had in my sig picture are chrome with no lip and here is a picture of silver ones with a machined lip 17x9 as well i perfer the silver ones they wont chip and dont show dirt as well they also look better and are easier to clean.

but your right 17's are too small for the New edges im thinking about 20" bullitt wheels with a deep lip.

Got a tuner to recalibrate your speedo after you add the 20's? Your going to need it.

20's are too big for a new edge imo. Stick with 17s and just lower the car.

my dad works for a company that sells reman wheels so ill be able to see them before i buy them i can compare and such i really like the look of the 98 cobra wheels they make them in 20x10.5 with rivets. same for the bullitt. I also like the FR500 (im indecisive clearly) im getting new wheels within the next month because i have a mismatched wheel as i already showed in my last post. but i will never buy chrome wheels its just what was on the car when i bought it.
