Any really sharp looking rims out there besides Cobra R's?

TripleBlack95 · Oct 22, 2005

Glad you like.

I paid approx. 972.00 shipped from thewheelexchange.com - GREAT price IMO - came with lugs but I purchased them with the tires from discouttiredirect.com - tires ran me 1030 with Gorilla lugs/locks and the tire protection plan for 1030 - so all in all about 2G's for everything which I think is good.

I had to search like crazy to find them, all the shops I tried kept using the same warehouse so I was always finding the same 4 which was annoying. I wanted 18X9 all around but I'm happy nonetheless. I love the look. I spent weeks though debating, sizes, backspacing, etc. I ALMOST went saleen replica but I just couldn't do it.

I'm pretty sure you could still find them, but you'd have to to through the UK, who knows though. The best thing is watching someone else drive your car, they shine like chrome in the daytime and it looks so badass driving.

TTII's in chrome

TripleBlack95 · Oct 22, 2005

I like Joe - Some styles of that rim look better and they def. look better on your car in red - the true "american" style IMO. Badass.

What kind of rubber is that? Nitto's correct?

How expensive are the TTII's? They look damn sexy as well.

If it helps, my price range is mostly based on what I like. If I see some rims that look sweet, I'll see if I can purchase them. However, I'm not at all rich so I can't afford those super expensive ones.

The chrome TTII's go for like 350-400/wheel in the setup I have, plus about $650 worth of tires, so do the math.

If you can get a couple local dealers to bid for your business you can save some money but its still not cheap. I like the wheels, but the aluminum lip is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too soft, hell if I accidently drop a lug taking it out it'll leave a mark in the lip. Plus only the spokes are chromed, so they always look nice but you have to constantly polish the lip since its uncoated aluminum. Mine has pitting and stains from brake dust and dirt, and i'm on my 2nd set. (Discount messed up my first set, totally bent the lip on 2 of them due to using crowbars to removed them from the mounting machine.)

black saleen reps in 18x9 and 18x10. like the wheels, just too much black on a black car, would look great on a colored car imo.

Now don't get me wrong, the Cobra R's look sexy as hell any bascially any mustang.

I agree 100% with you on that. I just had to get Cobra R's because nothing else looks as "at home" on a Mustang than they do. It's the only rim that was designed specifically for the SN95 and Ford nailed it IMO. Second on my list would be the original Steeda Ultralite.

Chowder Head...before you buy tires...check out AK tires over here in Clearwater (right by Sunshine Speedway) My friend bought a pair of brand new 285-17 Michelin Pilots for like $100. Another buddy of mine bought a set of 4 Dunlop SP Sport 9000 255-17 tires for $200.

If you want more info PM me.
