I wanted to see if they were too small looking.
I was looking at 17" 03 Cobra wheels, machined.
I prefer 18s, but I have some 17" tires(255/275) right now.
Thanks.

I was looking at going with the '03 Machined Cobras not long ago. Here are some pics I used to see what I wanted. None of them are my car, but two are known board members.

17":





18":



Hope that helps! Good luck with your decision.

I liked my 17" wheels. In my opinion the 18's look a little out of place. I wish I still had those rims. My husband bought some 18" saleen replicas with BFG KDW2 tires like 2 months before he sold his car. My tires on my cobra wheels were about gone, so we sold his car with the cobras and I got the saleens.

IMO..18's look perfect on 94-04's. On fox bodys, they sometimes look too big depending on the setup, & on 05+ they almost look too small....
