droppedbass87 · October 21st, 2006, 06:27 PM

ok guys im having serious trouble choosing wheels...should i go with the deep dish cobra wheel 17/9 17/10.5??or 18 saleen wheel 18/9 18/10??i was first wanting the saleen wheels but then when i saw the deep dish chrome cobras they looked mean and sweet but they are only 17s...what do you guys think and its going on a 1996 mustang gt dark green color...help me please...

97Cobra · October 21st, 2006, 06:35 PM

I think the saleens would look way nice on your car! IMO

Anthony · October 21st, 2006, 06:45 PM

i like them both. i went with 18s for looks. and going with 18s tire prices get a lil high, might wanna think about that. but if u get the 17x10.5 in rear u know u have to get 315s!

97Cobra · October 21st, 2006, 07:00 PM

the tires will cost about the same because the cobras are wider. plus they are both pricie because they have to be Z rated! lol

Anthony · October 21st, 2006, 08:45 PM

dang where do u buy tires at? ive seen 315/35/17 for $110. tell me where i can get a 315/35/18 for that much.

97Cobra · October 21st, 2006, 09:20 PM

peerless the damand is higher for 17s than 18 here. lol

droppedbass87 · October 21st, 2006, 10:12 PM

right i dont care about prices ive got money just looks...what do you other ones think because one person said saleens..

Anthony · October 21st, 2006, 10:54 PM

$ not a problem, then 18in saleens!!

97Cobra · October 22nd, 2006, 12:45 AM

yupp!!!!!

droppedbass87 · October 22nd, 2006, 01:55 AM

so you guys dont think the cobras will look more muscular and mean because they are pretty deep you know look on ebay..

97Cobra · October 22nd, 2006, 02:04 AM

yeah they would look cool. either choice is awsome! its up to you bro.

droppedbass87 · October 22nd, 2006, 02:25 AM

OH AND I DONT HAVE TO JUST GET315S FOR THE BACK I THINK I CAN GET 245S OR 265S..

97Cobra · October 22nd, 2006, 02:27 AM

the 315 s will look cool tho.

lol

droppedbass87 · October 22nd, 2006, 02:41 AM

WELL I MEAN WHATS THE DIFFERENCE THEN JUST WANDERING??

TENGRAM · October 22nd, 2006, 02:51 AM

17 is better for performance, but cobras have been played out since...well since people used to say "played out"

also 245s on a 10.5 wide rim, if they fit at all, will look stupid...same for 265s, but again i doubt they'd even fit. saleens are cool...looking, but too large, too heavy. why not bullitt rims? deep dish and black IMHO will look good and perform well. BTW, my 245/50/16 tires cost more than the $110 that was quoted for the large 17 inch tires...you get what you pay for. my2cents

droppedbass87 · October 22nd, 2006, 03:04 AM

right well i think i will go with the cobra deep dish not one person has them here and i think they are mean looking i just looked up tire prices on jegs and they are cheap..so if i get the 17/9 and 17/10.5 what is the exact tire sizes should i get for all four tires??

matrixpuba · October 22nd, 2006, 10:55 AM

18" saleen rims in chrome on a dark color sn-95 would be hot

well the 17/9 go on the front and 17/10.5 go on the back so you have to buy different tires for the front and back. the 17/10.5 should be a little more expensive because they are wide.

Anthony · October 22nd, 2006, 03:22 PM

here ya go man. i know a bunch of guys running these. theyre good for the street, but thats about it. (they dont hook for ****) but it wont kill ur pocket :wink
