for 8 stacks you can get new Cobra r's on new tires balanced.

I would go with 18 bullets.

yo can get new chrome ones for $1000.00 with new tires balanced and shipped on ebay of course.

for 884 shipped you can get brand new 4 lugs with brand new tires which have been balanced for you already, 17x8 in the fronts to prevent rubbing and 17x9s in the back for better grip

those are for silver cobra r's...the ones im talking about are chrome...and even if they were 884 for chrome shipped why pay that when i can pay 800??...cause his have only been on his car less than a month...??

everyone and their momma has cobra r's on their stang, but if thats what you want then go for it
 
Why... why why why do people say 4 lugs are ugly, or stupid. Who cares? You people who are doing 5 lug swaps simply for appearance and wheel variety need to sell your 5.0 and buy a Honduh. </rant>



$800 is way too much dude. I have about $850 in mine brand new mounted and balanced with new kumhos on my car :shrug:
 
That's a tough choice. The cobra R's are noticably heavyier while driving the car. I bought some this summer from Summit as I'd rather deal with them than super generics off ebay. I got the chrome ones at the polished priced becuase the polished were on back order. 4 Lugs look just the same as 5 lugs, some people are retarded I think.

$800 is a decent deal if you can handle the extra weight.
