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

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.

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
