Cobra III rims? Too Ricy? Pic

[moneypit94]

I emailed this company about some chrome 03 cobra wheels. They sent me info on some chrome Cobra III rims. If they are light enough im tempted in buying them... These are 17x9 and 17x10.5 for the rear...

I know you guys are probably going to flame me for liking them...

What do you guys think, honestly... don't hold back either...

those are like the edlebrocks

very nice. what are they quoting you on
priice?


will only go with certain colors though, what color is your car?

they look kinda like the eleanor wheels, but i thnk there pretty cool

 

[moneypit94]

my car is black... and they quoted me at 1000 dollars shipped...

Those would look HOT on a black car. I think the more conservative types will balk at them, but who cares. I have long been coveting a set of 18 inch black bullitts with the polished lip for my black stang, but those are even nicer. If I wasn't in school I would probly pick them up... the deep lip is mint, plus they will hide our smallish rotors and calipers. Not to mention nobody else is running them!

edit for spelling

imHo, Im kinda neutral. I dont care for them a whole lot, but I dont think their ricey either or worthy of a

It may depend on how it actually goes on a certain style car.
Let us know.

Just got off the phone with them... 25 lbs for the front wheels and 27 for the rears...

Is that bad? I don't remember how much my 03's weighed but they seemed heavier then that..

Im really thinking about buying them... (today actually, help conveince me to go one way or the other...)

 

[95snoozer]

thats close to 03 cobras

but that is still TOO HEAVY!

That's kinda what I was thinking too. And I love those Elenor wheels. I would say go for it! ALWAYS nice to see something different.

Here is the deal... they ain't "rice" since they are copies of the halibrand race wheels that came on the original shelby cobra's. But, most importantly, they are for YOUR car, if YOU like them, get them.

I am not so sure about what makes a car ricey.. heck mine might be ricey to someone.

i think it they were chrome the would be hot

 

[HazMat404]

dont think they look too bad....id like to see them on a car first but i think that have some good potential

 

[donjohn]

I kinda like them, but they're almost too boxy or rigid for our more rounded cars... if that makes sence

 

[Venom351R]

My honest oppinion........ They look gay

 

[Numbles]

Maybe on a 60's mustang but for the sn95 I dont think they match well with the body style. Although I do like the wheels, just not for our cars.

My opinoin, stick with the 03cobras

yep. on your black car----amazing!

 

[moneypit94]

well its either these wheels or a set of chrome mach1's.. Which i finally found with 10.5" wide for the rears...

But the idea of being different is what is pushing me towards these cobra III's.

If I don't blow my motor up tomorrow on the dyno i will probably be ordering some of these wheels shortly...

I figured I had better wait just in case before i put down money on a motorless stang... lol

I like those, and I think they'd look good on most mustangs, but what's the price? not to metion, in my opinion, they are too heavy (but, if you have all that power, do heavy wheels really matter? NO!)

 

[VibrantRedGT]

I like those but never seen them on a 94-95 car.
