I've always loved the Cobra rims in that style. Good buy!

Ohhh, very nice choice. Can't wait to see some pictures of them on your ride!

Nice Rims, I'm looking into a set of those myself.

i wasn't too sure what tire size to go with, but that's what i was told to get.. in a couple weeks i'm gonna drop her down 1.5" then probably getting a styling bar after that to finish off my visual upgrades for the time being!
thanks for the comments so far!

where do you get some of those?
I found these on eBay, seems like a pretty good deal...except that I don't get why the pictures show the pony center caps when they say "Cobra center caps included, original Mustang pony center caps not included.".
I drive a Mustang, not a Cobra...I want pony caps...
would these blank caps fit on these rims? They say it'll fit on a 94-95 17" 6 spoke rim, those ones I'm looking at are 5 spoke.

I think i'd rather have black caps than cobra caps if i can't get pony ones...

That is a sweet set of wheels. The rivets may prove to be a pain to keep clean. When you get them, if you are smart, you will put a couple of coats of wax on them before mounting them. It will give them a good protective layer so when you clean them they will just wipe clean with soapy hot water.

Just make sure you don't go postal in reverse. LOL

You could have easily went with a 275 on a 9 inch rim, but those rims are going to look real nice.

I looked in your garage and the wheels look good. Are you happy with them? I'm assuming no UPS employees were harmed. LOL
