anyone have a picture of a convertible with these wheels i could see?

thanks :SNSign:

buy them and ship them to me.....I would take that deal. The tires alone (if they are new) are worth that

Its not a bad deal at all for rims and tires, but you can get the 4 rims (only the rims) on Ebay brand new for about the same price so 1200.00 for 4 lug Cobra R's only is crap.

As stated, its a good price for rims and tires though.

OK thanks. talked to the girl selling them and she said she would take 400 for them. I'm going to pick them up Saturday. yeah the tires are brand new, she said she has a receipt of when the tires where bought for the wheels and a receipt for the rims. she had these wheels on her 89 Ford mustang convertible before she sold it and she sold it with the stock ponys on it.

BTW can anyone tell me what the size of the tires are?

245/50/16

245 is the width i believe and 50 i have no idea what that means and 16 i believe is the size of wheels?

The 245 is width in mm of the tire the 50 is the height of the sidewall in relation to the width meaning it is 50% of 245 and 16 is the rim size needed. Good deal for those rims and tires.

so it is a 16"cobra rim. I say stay away. And what brand are those tires? They look like SUV tires.

What is wrong with 16" ? Why do you say stay away because of that? I still think that 400$ for nice rims and new tires that can make a huge improvement on the looks of a car is a pretty decent amount to spend.

The only thing worse than 16" cobras are 20" cobras

If those are 16s def dont get them i have 17s 16s are way too small

 

[TheBocSez]

Its all preference. If you like the look, get them, its a good price for all. For some reason everyone seems to hate 16's and 4 lug Cobra R's dunno why. Its your car if you like em, get em. 99% these people dont know you and will never see your car anyways so who cares. Your question in the 1st post was "is the price good?" the answer is yes.

the 89 i got from strype had those exact wheels.....16s. and the chrome was flaking off real bad. look on ebay, think strype got his 17x9s for 380 or so, know it was right at 400

I like the 4 lug, it is just why buy an aftermarket rim with stock size, in my case.
